    Fort Bragg, North Carolina supports a mix of military and civilian camping opportunities ranging from full-service RV parks to more primitive tent sites. Smith Lake Army RV Park within the Fort Bragg military installation offers lakeside camping with cabins, RV sites, and tent camping options, accessible to military personnel. Surrounding areas include Fayetteville RV Resort & Cottages with full hookups and cottage rentals, and Spacious Skies Sandy Run, located just one mile from Interstate 95, providing convenient access for travelers.

    Campground facilities in the region vary widely in terms of amenities and services. Most established campgrounds provide electric hookups, water connections, and shower facilities, while some offer additional features like swimming pools and fishing ponds. "The dirt road to campsite is packed white sand and well maintained. There were full hookup and lots of big rigs/TT and class A's in park," noted one visitor about Spacious Skies Sandy Run. Weather conditions remain mild enough for year-round camping at most sites, though summer humidity can be challenging. Several campgrounds like Art's RV Sites and Spring Valley RV Campground operate throughout all seasons, making the area suitable for winter camping when northern destinations become inaccessible.

    Water access represents a significant draw for campers in the Fort Bragg region. Smith Lake Army RV Park provides boat-in access and lakefront recreation opportunities on post. Many campers note the appeal of fishing and water activities at nearby lakes. Outside the immediate Fort Bragg area, outdoor enthusiasts often venture to Jordan Lake State Recreation Area campgrounds like Crosswinds and Poplar Point, which receive consistently positive reviews for their lakeside sites. According to one camper, "The views are nice, with sites next to the water. Tents and RVs can camp in the same areas." Military connections influence the camping landscape, with Smith Lake Army RV Park requiring military affiliation. Civilian alternatives include the well-appointed Fayetteville RV Resort & Cottages, which offers a community-oriented experience with activities throughout the week and proximity to both military and civilian attractions.

      Fayetteville RV Resort & Cottages

      Pools, Putt-Putt & Plenty of Room to Play

      Sometimes you pull into a campground expecting little more than a comfortable place to sleep and discover the kids have already made tomorrow’s plans before you’ve even finished setting up, and Fayetteville RV Resort & Cottages was that kind of happy surprise for our family. Tucked into the countryside of Wade just minutes from I-95, this beautifully maintained resort combines spacious, mostly shaded RV sites (including enormous pull-throughs accommodating big rigs) with cottages and enough green space that it feels remarkably removed from the highway. Families are especially spoiled here with two swimming pools, mini golf, a playground, walking path, fitness center, clubhouse, clean restrooms and showers, laundry facilities and dog parks, while full-hookup sites with 30/50-amp service make Mom and Dad’s life considerably easier too. One of my favorite memories was watching the boys bounce between swimming and miniature golf until that wonderful end-of-the-day exhaustion finally set in, leaving us to enjoy a quieter evening together back at the campsite. Some campgrounds are where you sleep between adventures - this is one where convincing the kids to actually leave becomes the adventure. With the resort offering numerous long pull-through and back-in sites rather than one clearly superior campsite, I’d choose one of the more shaded sites away from the busiest activity areas if your family values a quieter evening. We would enthusiastically recommend Fayetteville RV Resort for families because it’s exceptionally clean, wonderfully convenient and packed with enough kid-friendly recreation to turn what could easily have been an I-95 pit stop into a genuine family camping getaway.

      Crosswinds Campground — Jordan Lake State Recreation Area

      Great Camp

      We visited Crosswinds campground at Jordan Lake State Park on the worst heatwave of the year. The great thing about this area is that the sites a well shaded. We were about 50 yards from the lake, with the wind blowing we still were comfortable all day. We stayed on Loop A, which is my favorite loop at the park. There’s no electricity or water at the sites. There are water spickets throughout the loop with potable water. The site is awesome! There’s a small pond beside it. The neighboring sites are close, but regular conversations can not be heard.this loop is always quiet even when there are a lot of people, but it’s never been full when I’m there. I didn’t do good with photos except for the food.

      Lumberton I-95 KOA

      It's an easy pull through, but a bit noisy from I95

      The kids and I stayed here, they liked the pool &the little free breakfast in the a.m. 

      The restrooms are clean and ADA accessible. Kind maintenance staff! 

      It would be nice if there were at least some trees in between sites. They have a dog park,  which is great!

      Crosswinds Campground — Jordan Lake State Recreation Area

      Crosswinds Campground July 2026

      Decent campground in a beautiful location along Lake Jordan. Crosswinds Campground is one of several sites on the lake. We chose this location since the gates stay open all the time, while other sites have a curfew that can lock you out for the night.

      The staff are super friendly and helpful. There’s apparently a camp host whom we never met and they’re on the site next to ours (not sure if they’re supposed to greet us or help us get acquainted with the site, but the staff member at check in was great and did all that when we arrived).

      Loop C is quiet, very few children, and less road noise compared to the other loops, but doesn’t have the same access to the lake.

      Site C50 is conveniently located close to the bath house, has a large fire pit with adjustable grill, picnic table, and hookups for water and electricity. We’re in a tent, so really just use the electricity. The picnic table here should be replaced, as the wood seems to be rotting, but still does the job. There are a few sites in loop C that do have direct access to the lake, but those tend to be booked all of the time. We explored one last night and couldn’t believe it was vacant and how much nicer it seemed.

      Bathrooms are not as clean as I would like, but I bring disinfectant wipes to wipe the toilet before use. Showers are fine, but use an annoying motion sensor to turn the water on/off. Showering at night is annoying with the bugs because the bathhouse is lit like a beacon (probably for safety). Waiting for the daytime is a better experience. Also, there isn’t a washing station for dishes, and we do that at our site.

      Firewood can be purchased by the staff at the campground entrance; however, the exact same firewood is almost $4 fewer at a Refuel station down the street. Definitely stop into that gas station store for things you might need.

      Overall, really good experience staying here, some annoying things, but won’t ruin your stay.

      Smith Lake Army RV Park

      Tidy, very well designed, basic

      It’s not scenic or particularly private, but it’s clean, well designed, and pumping out shore power to combat the Iowa humidity

    What to do

    Hiking trails and natural areas: Raven Rock State Park provides numerous hiking opportunities on well-maintained trails. "We picked this campground because it only 1 mile off I-95 and closest RV park we could find near Fayetteville. Dirt road to campsite is packed white sand and well maintained," notes a visitor to Spacious Skies Sandy Run. For more extensive hiking, explore the trails at Raven Rock State Park where one camper mentions, "There's a great little pathway on this property that encircles a small pond that is perfect for a short meandering through the area."

    Water activities beyond fishing: Water recreation extends beyond basic fishing at several area campgrounds. At Smith Lake Army RV Park, "You can rent kayaks and paddle boats right on the water front, but the beach is only open on Weekends until Labor Day." Jordan Lake State Recreation Area offers excellent swimming opportunities, with one visitor noting, "Loved being able to just chill in the lake away from it all."

    Local attractions and military history: The Fort Bragg region provides access to military attractions and local events. "Fun things to do: Airborne and Special Operations Museum (downtown). You may also enjoy the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Museum is located on Fort Bragg," suggests a camper from Spacious Skies Sandy Run.

At Fayetteville RV Resort & Cottages, "Two newly remodeled bathhouses and laundry rooms. Staff keeps them clean though out the day, we never had an issue with dirty or un-stocked bathrooms." Another camper adds, "The bathrooms were immaculate. The Landry rooms were great, little expensive but I get it, they are high maintenance with all the visitors."

    Spacious, private campsites: The campgrounds around Fort Bragg offer well-designed camping spaces. At Poplar Point Campground, "We camped at C-52. This site was very spacious, easy to back into, and level. This was a HUGE site, lots of space between neighbors." Another visitor comments, "Amazing spots for RVs on the water! There are TONS of spots that are right on the lake yet have plenty of trees for privacy."

    What you should know

    Military installation noise: Proximity to Fort Bragg means aircraft noise is common at nearby campgrounds. At Smith Lake Army RV Park, "Camp Ground is next to airfield, you might get Helicopter nosies from time to time." Another camper adds, "This campground is near a military runway so be prepared for loud aircraft noise as well as other military installation noise."

    Seasonal water restrictions: Winter camping requires precautions against freezing conditions. One camper at Spring Valley RV Campground notes that campgrounds may require disconnecting water hoses during cold weather: "We were given a rather rude letter at the camp office demanding that we disconnect on specific dates by 6pm, or else we would have our water disconnected."

    Limited tent camping options: Many campgrounds in the area cater primarily to RVs and cabins. At Spacious Skies Sandy Run, a camper learned, "I was then asked where my van was. I explained it was parked right beside the check in cabin in the driveway. I then found out that the campground 'doesn't take that kind of camper-no tents, pop-ups' or other vehicles of the sort."

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly amenities: Several campgrounds offer excellent facilities for children. At Smith Lake Army RV Park, "Playgrounds were phenomenal for kids. Bike and Hiking trails all through out the site." The campground also provides water recreation options as "You can rent kayaks and paddle boats right on the water front."

    Swimming options during summer: Pools provide relief from summer heat at select campgrounds. At Spacious Skies Sandy Run, "I was surprised to discover a pretty amazing pool (opened in the Summer between Memorial and Labor Day weekends) that the kids enjoyed during the day – nothing too over-the-top, but a cool spot to drop into during the midday NC heat is definitely an advantage!"

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection strategy: Choose sites strategically based on noise and accessibility concerns. At Spring Valley RV Campground, one experienced RVer suggests, "I would select a spot that is halfway through the loop (it's lower and further removed meaning you'll hear less traffic from nearby HWY 95)."
