    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Shallow Ford Natural Area permits pets at primitive campsites located along the Mountains to Sea Trail, offering peaceful camping with fire rings and flat tent areas. Hagan-Stone Park, Lake Reidsville Recreation Park, and Greensboro KOA also welcome pets at their established campgrounds with varying amenities. Cedarock Park provides hike-in tent camping with well-spaced sites that can accommodate large groups for just $1 per additional person for groups larger than 10. The camping areas at these locations maintain different pet policies, with most requiring leashes and proper waste disposal. Brookhaven Mill Farm stands out with its unique farm atmosphere where campers can set up near mini horses, sheep, and goats while still keeping their dogs comfortable.

    Dog owners should note that Cedarock Park offers 6 miles of hiking trails and 6 miles of equestrian trails where leashed pets can join their owners for outdoor exploration. The road noise at some locations like Greensboro KOA can be disruptive for sensitive pets, though the campground provides complimentary earplugs for human campers. Shallow Ford campsites offer a more serene experience with the soothing sounds of the river in the background rather than traffic noise. Most pet-friendly campgrounds in the area provide adequate space for pets to walk, though dedicated dog parks are limited. Wildlife is active in these camping areas, so keeping pets leashed is essential for their safety and the protection of local animals. When planning longer stays, note that some campgrounds like Jones Station RV Park accommodate pets for extended periods while others may have restrictions on length of stay.

      Eno River State Park Campground

      So green! Gorgeous River!

      This is one of my favorite camping spots in the North Carolina triangle area.  There is a tremendous amount of hiking and trails to do around here.  The Eno River is more than safe to swim or paddle in.  Dogs are welcome here! If you can camp close to the river, I recommend, it's great to fall asleep to the sounds of the river.  Bring bug spray!

      Tanglewood Park

      Nice and new!

      Great hosts, spacious spots, nearby dog park, loved staying here. The bath houses are a little dated but very clean. There is horse shoe, volleyball, soccer goals on the camp ground. I would stay here all the time if I could!

      Poplar Point Campground — Jordan Lake State Recreation Area

      Outdoor Perfection @ Jordan Lake SRA Poplar Point Campground

      Poplar Point Campground could quite possibly be the best campground in all of North Carolina! Yes, I know, that’s quite a statement to make, considering all of the amazing places in the great state of North Carolina. So let me explain why I reached this conclusion:

      • Some of the most outstanding hiking trails

      • Heavily wooded forest paradise that delivers privacy and solitude

      • Perfectly maintained amenities such as picnic tables, fold-up fire ring and grills

      • Bathroom facilities are some of the best I’ve experienced with state-run facilities

      • Direct access to a fantastic lakeside experience, complete with boat launches

      • Designated swimming area complete with life vests

      • On-site park staff were nothing short of amazing, helpful and incredibly friendly

      • Close access to purchase anything that might be needed 

      Insider’s tip? Be sure to get down to the lake from wherever your campsite is just after sunset and bring a couple of folding chairs and a telescope (pre-planning here is needed!) to catch a glimpse of one of the most amazing star-studded night skies you’ve ever seen in your life! 

      Happy Camping!

      Tanglewood Park

      New, Basic, but Nice

      We only stayed for 1 night as we were passing through, but we plan to return one day.

      Positives are it’s a newer campground, nice and shaded, full hookups (w,e,s), lots were wide, Easy to get in and out of, plenty to do within the park (hiking, fishing, kayak/canoe, etc), has a nice dog park, hosts were very welcoming and kind, VERY clean.

      Negatives are unlevel lots (we had to lower ours by over 4” and still weren’t level, but couldn’t adjust anymore), sites aren’t exactly private - but there was a bit of space between sites.

      Zooland Family Campground

      Fun, Friendly, Full-Service Campground

      This quiet gem was just what I needed. It’s close enough to shoppes, diners, and other activities. It’s also close to the NC Zoo. With dedicated and mixed spots, it’s perfect for tents and RVs. Did I mention the staff? They’re friendly and helpful.

      Zooland is a great place for solo, family, or group. The campground offers a pool, activities, walking trails, as well as laundry facilities and 2 bath houses. There’s also a dog park for your K9 family member(s).

      Most sites have water and electrical hook ups. But one word of caution; you may or may not have cell service. But there is wi-fi throughout the property.

      Holly Point — Falls Lake State Recreation Area

      Paradise Found @ Holly Point Campground

      I’m not sure if this campground is correctly named Holly Point Campground, which after my experience, I would rename it HOLY Point Campground, as this outdoor nature preserve is truly a slice of heaven carved out in the middle of North Carolina’s finest camping paradise. If you find yourself in the hustle and bustle of nearby Raleigh and looking to get away from the crowds and pavement in exchange for some nice shaded nature, hiking trails and calm peace & quiet that only nature can offer, then make your way here to Holly Point Campground@ Falls Lake SRA, where you will not be disappointed. 

      All of the basics are provided in spades – from picnic table, fold-up fire ring / BBQ grill, bear-proof garbage hanger and a nice small pebble-strewn flat patch of well-maintained nature that offers pristine shade from an unrelenting bit of summer North Carolina sunshine from the tall matchstick-like long leave needle pines. While there’s not a terrible amount of brush between the campsites, you will have semi-privacy unlike many other nearby campgrounds. 

      The on-site facilities (bathrooms& showers) are just slightly north of passable and only a smidge better than you’d expect from a state-run campground, and so this campground gets its only mediocre marks on this front. But that said, there’s plenty of hiking trails to explore and the on-site rangers are incredibly helpful and positive folks that want to ensure you have a great time, but the best amenity on this property is the access to Falls Lake itself, where there is a perfectly sectioned off swimming area, as well as boat launching areas for those that want to fish or simply drop a kayak or canoe in the water and take enjoy a lakeside cruise. 

      Insider's tips?  Here's a handful: (1) While IMHO there is no bad spot here in all of Holly Point Campground, there are obviously some that are better than others.  Given this, I would highly rank Loops 4 (#118-119, #121-123) & 5 (#141-147; #149, #150, #152-155) as well as the southern and eastern side of Loop 2 (#36-39; #55-71; #73, #75), given their proximity to and views of Falls Lake itself.  Of course, the sites that are located closer to the water are those more preferred; (2) If you're an angler, you'll be looking to catch some large-mouthed bass, yellow perch, blue gill, channel and flathead catfish and I recommend the areas that are heaviest shadowed around the lake edges; (3) When you grow weary of having to fix up that next campsite meal and simply want to error on the side of ease and comfort, then check out nearby Buffalo Bros who serve up some pretty might wings and amazing pies (there's also burgers, sandwiches, wraps, salads and other basic Americana foodstuffs) or Nantucket Grill for some pretty outstanding Jambalaya and seafood diablo pasta; and (4) If you love extreme outdoors adventures, then check out Xtreme Park Adventures for indoor and outdoor courses for paintball and laser tag.

      Happy Camping!

      Tanglewood Park

      . Beautiful place

      Beautiful place. At $35 a night, there is a lot to enjoy. The only thing you need to be aware of is that some of the sights are very slanted. Very tall levelers are needed. But they do have cable, wifi(that’s ok) a dog park and lots more. It’s worth it.

      Tanglewood Park

      Excellent County Park with Plenty to Do

      This is our local park so we're a bit spoiled. It was perfect for our first outing in our new 34' travel trailer. Plenty of shade in the campground which unfortunately makes backing a challenge in some sides dodging the trees. The park has great mountain biking, walking/hiking trails, horseback riding, gold, swimming, playgrounds and a great dog park. It's the place we go on the weekend as locals and a great place to visit for campers. Hosts were extremely friendly and do a fantastic job keeping the sides clean and cleared of even the smallest twigs and branches from the tree.

    Guide to Gibsonville

    Campsites near Gibsonville sit within North Carolina's Piedmont region, characterized by gently rolling hills and hardwood forests at approximately 700 feet elevation. Summer temperatures average 85-90°F with high humidity, while winter lows typically range from 30-50°F. The area's camping options span from established county parks to primitive sites, with most locations offering year-round access due to the moderate climate.

    What to do

    Disc golf opportunities: Cedarock Park features two excellent 18-hole courses spanning 500 acres. "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," notes Kelsey L. about Cedarock Park.

    Fishing access: Oak Hollow City Campground provides ample fishing opportunities directly from lakefront sites. "The views were beautiful down by the lake - but it was clear we were in suburbia," writes Kirsten J. about Oak Hollow City Campground, highlighting the urban-adjacent nature of this option.

    Trail running: Several parks offer marked trail systems that attract runners seeking natural terrain. "Hagan stone is a great park! I've been there multiple times for races, and the facilities are excellent and the trails through the woods would have you thinking that you were miles from civilization," reports Daniel P.

    What campers like

    Platform camping: Several parks feature elevated wooden platforms for tent setups. "This was our first time setting up on a platform and it was very easy. Our site had a great view of the beautiful lake," shares Larisa C. about their stay at Oak Hollow City Campground.

    Farm experience: Unique agricultural settings provide camping near farm animals. "I setup right near the picnic table with a view of the mini horses," explains Karen M. about her stay at Brookhaven Mill Farm, offering a different experience than standard campgrounds.

    Water access: Many sites feature direct lake or river access for swimming and paddling. "The Eno River is more than safe to swim or paddle in. If you can camp close to the river, I recommend, it's great to fall asleep to the sounds of the river," advises Samantha P. regarding Eno River State Park Campground.

    What you should know

    Highway proximity: Some campgrounds trade convenience for noise exposure. "The interstate is close but not too bad, very clean and friendly staff," notes Stanley H. about Greensboro KOA, while another reviewer adds "the combination of ear plugs and exhaustion from a long day on the road allowed me to sleep pretty well."

    Primitive facilities: Several sites lack amenities for those seeking basics-only camping. "The only facilities are pit toilets with no showers or running water. That is why you need to be prepared and take in your own water and toilet paper," explains Myron C. about Eno River State Park Campground.

    Site leveling: Many RV pads require additional equipment for proper setup. "Only two drawbacks (1) noise from highway (2) many sites are not level so plan ahead and bring extra levelers," warns Lisa A. about Oak Hollow, highlighting a common issue at regional campgrounds.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground options: Several parks offer multiple play areas for children. "Great family campground! Plenty of places to tent camp or RV camp! Places to fish, things for kids to play on and of course places to shower after!" explains Krista H. about Cane Creek Campground and RV Park.

    Seasonal activities: Winter camping offers cost advantages for extended stays. "I believe they only allow you to stay long term from November-March, otherwise the max stay is 14 days. You get a discount rate for the long term stay - 575 a month," shares Alexia H. about Hagan-Stone Park.

    Swimming options: Limited swimming access exists at select parks. "There is a pool our kids could swim in until 7:00pm. They let us borrow a metal fire pit so we could make s'mores," mentions Larisa C. about Oak Hollow City Campground, providing important amenity information.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection guidance: Loop characteristics vary significantly within campgrounds. "Loop A has no hookups and is for tents. Loop B is heavily wooded with 30amp and water every-other site... If you're longer than 30' you may find Loop B tough to navigate. Loop C is basically a field with RV parking along the perimeter," explains Rick S. about Hagan-Stone Park.

    Water hookup planning: Water connections aren't always positioned conveniently. "There is one water connection for each two sites so would advise bringing a splitter," suggests Marshall P. about Hagan-Stone Park, while Morgan A. adds "Water is shared between sites" at the same dog-friendly campground near Gibsonville.

    Long-term stay options: Several campgrounds accommodate extended stays during off-peak seasons. "Had a great experience staying here for several months for a work contract," reports Alexia H., noting the significant monthly rate discount available for seasonal visitors.
