What you should know
Seasonal availability varies: Many campgrounds have limited operations or different amenities based on the time of year. "Unfortunately a lot of the activity type things (arcade, mini-golf, horseshoes, etc) weren't available because we visited in the off season. Bummer but to be expected even though we had super nice weather," reports Ariel F. about her stay at Forest Lake.
Leveling challenges: Some sites require extra equipment for proper setup. "We stayed at site C2 and my tongue was on the ground and I still wasn't level. I even had both sets of wheels up on blocks to get the rear higher," shared one camper about Oak Hollow City Campground.
Space limitations: Crowding can be an issue at certain campgrounds. "Definite less of an rv resort, more of a mobile home park... not the campground to book if you are looking to enjoy the surroundings/scenery as things are very packed in," notes Reilly C. about Riverwalk RV Park.
Tips for camping with families
Age-appropriate amenities: Consider your children's ages when selecting a campground. "We took our three boys (all under 5) for the weekend. There was not much at all for them to do other than play in the pool, which was a tad bit dirty... There is a play ground and game room for older kids but nothing for the smaller children to do," shares Keanu G. about Lake Myers.
Plan for varied weather: Facilities can be affected by storms. "BUT there were storms that weekend so I don't think that was their fault," mentions the same reviewer about pool conditions at Lake Myers Resort.
Seek organized activities: Some Germanton area rv campgrounds offer structured events. "We were only there Fri-Sun but there were activities planned to include an outdoor movie (with free popcorn), arts & crafts for the kids, candy bar bingo, and a DJ," notes Brooke S. about her stay at Cobble Hill RV Campground.
Tips from RVers
Consider site selection: Some campgrounds assign spots rather than letting you choose. "The website says first come first serve when you make your reservation for an RV site. When we arrived Friday afternoon, they told us that they have a set spot for us," reports Nicky B. about Forest Lake.
Park features for convenience: Look for sites with amenities that simplify your stay. "All sites were gravel and have a fire pit that you can move around to where you want to build your fire," according to Ricky J. about Riverwalk RV Park.
Navigation challenges: Access to some rv campgrounds near Germanton requires careful driving. "Super easy pull through sites with convenient hookups. No bathrooms so did need to hook up water. Every body was super nice and friendly," says Drew W. about his experience at Black Dog Acres RV Park.
