Hanging Rock State Park Campground welcomes pets at all campsites with spacious, shaded areas for tents, RVs, and cabins. Dogs must remain leashed throughout the park's extensive trail system, with multiple water access points along hiking paths. The campground features clean facilities with picnic tables and fire rings at each site, making it comfortable for campers traveling with animals. Lake Reidsville Recreation Park offers another pet-friendly option with full hookups for RVs and designated pet areas. The sites at Hanging Rock are bigger than typical state park campgrounds, providing ample room for pets to relax while remaining secured.
Fairy Stone State Park Campground provides pet-friendly accommodations including cabins, yurts, and traditional campsites with easy access to pet exercise areas. Dogs can cool off in streams behind campsites at Hanging Rock while owners enjoy morning coffee. Nearby Greensboro KOA features a large, fenced K9 park that receives positive mentions from visitors with dogs. Most campgrounds enforce standard leash policies (typically 6-foot maximum) and require proof of current vaccinations upon check-in. Campers should note that while pets are welcome on most trails, some parks restrict dogs from swimming beaches and playground areas. Veterinary services are available in Mount Airy and Greensboro for emergency situations, with the closest pet supply stores located in Reidsville and Eden.

LegendReally well thought out campground for RV. Plenty of pull through and back in sites. Level sites, utilities are well placed and good height. Well maintained…you can tell staff takes pride in campground. Multiple dog parks….so convenient so you have one close to your area. Lots of recreation, great pickle ball area and pool. Laundry is honor system per load …pay in office.
RangerCedarock Park, located in Burlington, North Carolina, is a hidden gem for all sorts of outdoor activities. The park offers hike-in camping with a handful of sites scattered along Rock Creek. The sites are well spaced and can accommodate large groups (you only pay $1 for each additional person for groups larger than 10). The park is also home to 6 miles of hiking trails and 6 miles of equestrian trails. There are two fantastic disc golf courses (I personally enjoy the Wellspring course) and even a historical farm that sheds light on what life was like as a farmer in 19th century North Carolina.
RangerHanging Rock is one of the best state parks in North Carolina. With breathtaking views from the cliffs, miles of hiking trails, a lake, and 5 waterfalls, it can keep you busy for a few days, or just over a weekend. I have been to the park throughout the year, in sunshine, rain, and snow, and always enjoyed it. I stayed at the family campground a few times. I usually book sites 3, 4 or 6 - they are spacious and conveniently located close to the bathroom as well as the hiking trail and the little stream behind the campground.
The sites are bigger than you would expect from a typical state park campground. The bathrooms and showers are clean and nice. The host is very nice.
GuideI left the flat of eastern North Carolina and headed to the mountains to our west. Pilot Mt. State Park has a nice campground and some good hiking trails. Camping on the rocky side of a hill is different from the coastal flat lands I am used to.
The hiking trails are good and the round trip from the campsite, around Pilot Mountain and back provided for a nice day hike. There is also a 5 mile trail connecting the upper and lower parts of the park. I didn't have a chance to walk that one, but then it is always good to have a reason to go back.
Facilities were clean and in good shape.
ScoutWe stayed at this rv campground while visiting the many things to see and do in Greensboro North Carolina. visitgreensboronc.com
The rv sites are all pull thru nearly level, big gravel sites. We had plenty of room for ort 45' plus toad. There is a nice large K9 park. Playground. The best WIFI we have experienced and many free antenna tv channels. The restrooms and laundry were both neat and clean. The hosts were wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable. Will return for a longer stay.
TravelerGreat spot for tent camping! Loved the hillside spots bc of all the trees and the multiple levels that the spots are on. They are all built out and flat. Bathrooms are clean and campground was quiet. I had issues finding out if pets were allowed... they are! My dog and I had an awesome time and we will be back for sure.
GuideThis campground is probably 90% big rigs. It’s a huge campground with 2 lakes, playground, RV store and shelter houses. There is only one shower house with one shower and two toilets on each side. Pet friendly on leash. Close to Mount Airy for those over 60 who want a trip down Memory Lane.
GuideJomeokee Campground is a well cared for small campground and has such a calming and peaceful natural vibe. If you like “natural” “real” campgrounds without all the asphalt and concrete, you will love this one. I camp to get out into nature.
The trees, the adjacent pastures, the farm pond, the rolling hills, and the scenic views make this a great little campground. The bottom row of sites looks directly at Pilot Mtn in the distance. The sunsets are gorgeous.
The large grassy fields have lots of kids and adults playing ball and frisbee. They allow tent groups and everyone seems to be having a great time.
This is a very quiet campground at night. The camp host leads you in and makes sure you are situated in your site. Another camp host delivers firewood to your site if you place order.
The bath house is centrally located and is clean. They also have a dump station on the property.
The owner rides thru frequently and visits with campers. This campground is very pet friendly.
We were here in early Sept 2020 and in site 51
LegendOn my way to Virginia from western North Carolina, I decided to stop here. It makes the eight hour trip less tiresome if you can break it up. It is convenient since it is along the interstate. However, staying in one of the cabins at this KOA in Greensboro requires a minimum two-night stay, and they run about$100 a night. The person in the office was really nice and informative, but I think KOA is trying to discourage tent campers. She told me that since it had been raining, the ground was saturated and tent campers don’t like all the noise from the road; and she is 100% correct. Nevertheless, a tent site was my best option. The tent sites are sloped and very small. There is very little privacy since the sites are just about on top of each other. Don’t get me wrong; there are good things about this KOA… for RV campers and RV campers with children. The RV sites are spacious and mostly level with electric, water, and sewer hookups. The cabins are really nice(this being based on staying in a KOA cabin in the past and the exterior looks, which have been updated since I last stayed in one). The children will love the caboose/play area, and there is a large pool, which was actually open. There is also a fenced dog walk and another playground for children. The main bath house is located at the end of the office, and there is another bath house which was closed due to repair(?). Perhaps I’m being a little too harsh since it had poured rain for two days, but being on a small, unlevel, tent site with saturated ground is not my favorite way to camp. There were only brief minutes to take any photos since it was constantly raining. With all this said, if you want an alternative to staying at a motel/hotel/inn in Greensboro to experience the numerous things the city has to offer, this is a good choice for RV campers or for those who want to stay in a cabin.
Located in north-central North Carolina, Eden sits along the Dan and Smith Rivers at approximately 600 feet elevation, where summer temperatures regularly exceed 85°F between June and August. This region offers dog friendly camping options with varying terrain from riverfront sites to woodland settings, with most campgrounds maintaining pet policies requiring vaccination records and leashes no longer than 6 feet.
Water recreation at Lake Reidsville: The 750-acre lake provides excellent kayaking, boating, and fishing opportunities just 15 minutes from Eden. "Kayak rental, disc golf course, playground, picnic area and nature trail" are available according to camper Leigh R., who suggests selecting "a lakefront site or one on the side of the campground" for better views at Lake Reidsville Recreation Park.
Hiking and wildlife viewing: The trails around Mayo River State Park Campground showcase the region's native forest and river ecosystems. "We saw lots of deer roaming around" at Hanging Rock State Park, notes camper Dave V., who also mentions spotting "skinks, newts and salamanders populate these wooded lands and scurry about" throughout the Hanging Rock State Park Campground trail system.
Rock climbing: Pilot Mountain offers multiple established climbing routes with anchors for top-roping. Shannon C. explains the approach: "There is a trail leading from the parking lot and traverses above the climbing area so you have quick access to set anchors from the top. Additional anchors are bolted at the top of most routes for easy top roping."
Spacious, well-maintained sites: Campers appreciate the generous campsite layouts at COE Philpott Lake. "The sites in this campground are laid out very well," writes Glenn F. about COE Philpott Lake Goose Point Park, noting the campground has three distinct loops with varied amenities.
Clean facilities: Bathroom cleanliness stands out at multiple campgrounds. Tamara B. notes that at Salthouse Branch, "The bathhouse is always clean and you can't beat the atmosphere around the campground!" This appreciation for well-maintained facilities appears consistently in reviews throughout the region.
Swimming areas: Many campgrounds offer dedicated swimming access during summer months. "The lake is perfect for little ones and even grownup kids," writes Ryan Z. about Fairy Stone State Park Campground, which maintains a designated swimming beach with seasonal lifeguards.
Highway noise levels: Some campgrounds experience road noise due to their proximity to major highways. At Greensboro KOA, Greg H. notes: "Right off the highway, and by that I mean you see, and HEAR the traffic. The billboard in front of the trailer is an interesting touch. Nothing ear plugs and a long day can't fix."
Alcohol policies vary: Several area campgrounds prohibit alcohol consumption. Anne F. reports from Salthouse Branch: "The police visited us bc we were drinking outside of our camper. He was very nice and explained no alcohol allowed. This is clearly stated and we were in the wrong."
Reservation requirements: Many campgrounds fill quickly during peak season. Lauren L. recommends planning ahead for Goose Point Philpott Lake: "The c loop is gorgeous but the sites are very close together for tent campers and you can very much hear everyone else. Site 1 looks amazing for tent camping also, although the bottom loop books up far in advance."
Look for parks with ranger programs: Fairy Stone State Park offers educational activities. Russell C. shared: "The programming was also amazing for our eight and four-year old boys. Ranger Lexie hunted legendary fairystones with our kids and they haven't stopped talking about the magic of the hunt!"
Choose sites with playground access: Several campgrounds feature play areas for children. Steven F. notes at Lake Reidsville: "Easy access to the water, playgrounds & hiking trails were just moments away from the camper."
Consider yurt accommodations: For families new to camping, yurts provide a comfortable middle ground between tents and cabins. Katie M. describes Pilot Mountain State Park Campground yurts: "The Yurt overall was very clean and cozy... has a full size bed with a twin sized trundle bed that rolls under the full. It also had some rocking chairs inside, a small table and chairs, and a couch."
Site length considerations: Some campgrounds have limited space for larger rigs. Paula J. recommends tent camping at Salthouse Branch: "Great spot for tent camping! Loved the hillside spots bc of all the trees and the multiple levels that the spots are on," but notes RV sites may be more limited.
Hookup availability: Indian Heritage RV Park offers full hookups convenient to the Martinsville area. Keith F. reports: "The site we have was easy to back in. Everything works well. The WiFi is decent. Convenient location for the Martinsville area."
Leveling challenges: Many dog friendly campgrounds near Eden have uneven terrain. William J. notes about Paradise Lake & Campground: "The sites are fairly level and the hookups were all in good order and locations," which can be important for RV stability and comfort.
