1 campground with availability this weekend
Double L Farms Campground accommodates horses on its 46-acre working farm near Lumberton, approximately 30 miles south of Fort Bragg. The property combines RV camping with an agricultural setting where horses, cows, donkeys, and other farm animals roam the grounds. Full hookup sites include 30/50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections for $25 per night. The campground offers level, spacious sites with some locations positioned near open fields that provide unobstructed views for stargazing. While no dedicated horse corrals are listed in the amenities, the farm setting provides ample space for horse owners. A clean bathhouse with showers, toilets, and laundry facilities serves campers. The campground maintains a relaxed atmosphere where animals freely roam the property, creating an authentic farm experience.
Trail riding opportunities exist in the surrounding countryside, with Luther Britt Park located within driving distance offering lakeside hiking trails. The rural setting provides a peaceful retreat for equestrians seeking countryside riding experiences without the congestion of more developed camping areas. Most guests report feeling welcome upon arrival, with owners Brian and Lisa consistently described as helpful and accommodating hosts who make special arrangements for campers with specific needs. The campground's proximity to I-95 (about 20 minutes) makes it accessible for travelers while maintaining a secluded rural atmosphere. Both overnight and extended stays are common, with many healthcare professionals utilizing the campground for longer-term accommodations while working in the region. The lack of size restrictions allows horse trailers and larger rigs to navigate the property comfortably.

GuideThe sites are very large, long and wider at the back, plenty of room for a big group or family. The bathrooms look new and they are clean. Here during the week so it's very empty and quiet.
TravelerWe 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.
ScoutDecent 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.
ScoutReally fantastic spot to camp! Great sites and hook ups (no sewer, but EASY dump station)! Go for Loop B - it has the beach.
ScoutOur host, Brain and Lisa are great. Brain was there when we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed for hook up and helped with parking. Lisa gave very good directions to their location. Very peaceful, loved the animals. Will stay here again.
ScoutThe staff are all very friendly and helpful
GuideThis is a very large campground that can accommodate any size RV. They do not allow tents. All sites are gravel, but are quite level. I pulled in, and didn't have to adjust anything. Pets are welcome, but as everywhere, dogs must be on a leash (not more than 6' long). If you put the address into your GPS, it will take you to the main fairgrounds. You need to put NC state fairgrounds CAMPGROUND. It is about a quarter mile from the main fairgrounds.
ScoutNo amenities, but the price reflects that. Conveniently located to everything this area offers. Fun to check out whatever is happening at the fairgrounds and the horse complex is across the street. Big rig friendly but you might need to park your your truck/road a ver short walk away if you have a very large rig. The issue here is lack of oversight. There are security folks, but only if you call and request them. There is trash pickup, but no other staff anywhere. So people break the various rules often. Mainly they stay longer than 14 days. There were squatters when we were here one time - about 5 rigs and they wouldn’t leave and had no reservations. They were gone two weeks later when we came back (state troopers and Raleigh PD had to get involved).
TravelerWe found this place last year. We stayed for a month and had to come back this year for a month. Lisa & Brian are the nicest people you could ever meet. Place is very clean Bathrooms are Great. Not much to do but peaceful. Hate to leave but must move on. We'll be back.
Double L Farms Campground provides equestrian camping opportunities 30 miles south of Fort Bragg in a rural North Carolina setting. The 46-acre working farm accommodates horses and various farm animals, creating an authentic agricultural experience for campers. The surrounding Lumberton area features flat terrain with sandy soil typical of the Carolina Sandhills region, making it suitable for trail riding throughout most of the year.
Trail riding with horses: Several campgrounds near Fort Bragg cater to equestrians with access to riding trails. At Double L Farms Campground, guests can explore the 46-acre property. "With 46 acres of farmland, there's plenty to explore and we really enjoyed hiking around the place," notes Stuart K., who recommends Luther Britt Park for additional "lakeside hiking trails" nearby.
Farm animal interactions: Children particularly enjoy the animal encounters at farm-based camping areas. "If you have a family with small children, they will love the horses, chickens, guinea hens, and the couple of friendly cats and dogs that they own," writes Marvin D. about his experience at Double L Farms.
Watersports at Jordan Lake: Crosswinds Campground offers water activities within driving distance of Fort Bragg. "Great Campsites, nice wooded sites and close to lake access. Great hiking trails and very family friendly. Deer walked right behind our site. Boat ramp in campground. Swim area and playground," reports Wendy M.
Fairgrounds events: The North Carolina State Fairgrounds campground provides convenient access to scheduled events. "Fun to check out whatever is happening at the fairgrounds and the horse complex is across the street," notes Liz C., making it another option for equestrian-focused travelers.
Farm atmosphere: The working farm environment at Double L offers a unique camping experience. "In fact, our daughters thought the farm animals were the best part of our camping trip," shares Stuart K., adding that you'll "feel a million miles away from the hectic realities of urban life" despite being only "20 minutes or so drive from the heavy trafficked I95 highway corridor."
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain well-kept amenities. At Crosswinds Campground, Angela M. appreciated the "clean bathrooms" along with "spacious sites" and "plenty of privacy." The site is also "close to the beach where we sat for hours."
Convenience to attractions: The strategic location of certain campgrounds provides easy access to local points of interest. "Location is everything and you are smack dab in the middle of it. Good WiFi, great cellular," reports LaKevius M. about the State Fairgrounds campground, adding that you "can literally do anything you want from this location."
Level sites: The terrain at most campgrounds near Fort Bragg accommodates RVs without excessive leveling required. "All sites are gravel, but are quite level. I pulled in, and didn't have to adjust anything," notes Sheri K. about the State Fairgrounds camping area.
Morning farm sounds: Farm-based camping comes with early wake-up calls from roosters. "The best amenity though? The free rooster alarm clock you'll hear around 5:30am every morning!" Stuart K. mentions about Double L Farms.
Seasonal campers: Some campgrounds host longer-term residents. At the North Carolina State Fairgrounds, Liz C. notes there were occasional issues with "squatters" who "wouldn't leave and had no reservations," though management eventually resolved the situation.
Weather considerations: Rain can impact campsite conditions in certain areas. At Crosswinds Campground, Rick M. reported, "The site we had was under water after a light rain and didn't dry." Pack appropriate gear for potentially muddy conditions.
Gate closing times: Some campgrounds restrict after-hours access. Debbie F. points out that at Jordan Lake, "they lock the gate after a certain hour. If you need something or arrive after hours you are out of luck."
Animal experiences: Farm settings provide educational opportunities for children. "Brian took our two year old on a tour of their amazing farm — horses, cows, ducks, chickens, and all the tractors of our toddlers' dreams," shares Heather M. about Double L Farms.
Beach access: Water activities keep children entertained during summer months. "Loved having a double site with my parents. Close to the beach where we sat for hours," mentions Angela M. about Jordan Lake's Crosswinds Campground.
Educational attractions: Mix camping with learning experiences. Stuart K. recommends, "For the kiddos, if you need to get away and see something a bit more educational then try out Exploration Station in downtown Lumberton."
Wildlife viewing: Natural settings offer wildlife spotting opportunities. "Deer walked right behind our site," reports Wendy M. about her family's experience at Jordan Lake.
Full hookup availability: North Carolina State Fairgrounds provides complete services for self-contained camping. Joy B. notes the "sites are spacious and full hook ups" with "gravel roadways and grass/gravel sites" that "appear to be fairly level."
Big rig access: Most campgrounds accommodate larger vehicles. The State Fairgrounds is "big rig friendly but you might need to park your truck/road a very short walk away if you have a very large rig," according to Liz C.
Limited amenities at some locations: RVers should prepare for varying levels of services. "There are no amenities so you must be fully self-contained," Joy B. cautions about the State Fairgrounds campground, while Paul H. notes that at Jordan Lake, "Each site has water and electric hook-up. Sewer however is a dump station."
Dust considerations: Some campgrounds have issues with dust. LaKevius M. mentions "lots of fine dust converted from gravel roadway" at the State Fairgrounds, calling it "insidious" and something to prepare for.
