Just 30 miles north of Winston-Salem, Hanging Rock State Park is located in the Sauratown Mountain Range. Named for the early Saura peoples who once inhabited the area, this range towers over the surrounding country, with peaks reaching nearly 2600 feet in elevation. The park derives its name from the large quartzite escarpment that “hangs” over the valley below. Established in 1936, the park initially encompassed 3100 acres, but has grown to 7900 acres since 2015. With its proximity to the suburban areas of Stokes County, the park serves as a backyard playground for hikers, mountain bikers, equestrians, rock climbers, paddlers, anglers and campers.
The 73-site campground in Hanging Rock State Park is an ideal basecamp for enjoying all the outdoor activities the park has to offer. Campsites can accommodate tents, popups and limited RVs; there are no hookups or dump stations at this location. Each site is equipped with picnic tables, grills and tent pads. Drinking water is available at several locations in the campground, and there are two bathhouses with hot showers. There are also five primitive group campsites with picnic tables and fire circles; drinking water and vault toilets are available nearby. If you don’t feel like roughing it, the park also offers 10 vacation cabins. Each of these are equipped with a kitchen, bathroom and sleeping accommodations for up to six.
When you’re ready to play, there are more than 20 miles of multiuse trails in Hanging Rock State Park for hiking, biking and riding. Trails vary in length and difficulty, so drop by the visitor center and pick up a trail map. For the mobility impaired, there is a 0.1-mile path to the Rock Garden. Anglers can enjoy casting for bass, sunfish, and catfish either by boat or wading on the park’s small lake. Canoe and rowboat rentals are available for paddling on the lake, or you can bring your own gear for paddling or fishing on the Dan River. Rock climbing is permitted on the 400-foot-high Cook’s Wall and Moore’s Wall. For just kicking it under the trees, the park has several picnic areas, as well as an exhibit hall and concession stand.

-**************************************************************************************
Reserve your trip to our Farm where you can count our sheep, goats, donkeys, chickens, ducks and geese; there should be about 100! And we offer "Animal Therapy" where you can sit quietly among our animals and just let them come to you!
We offer both tent and RV camping in an empty pasture adjacent to our grazing pasture where you can enjoy our animals in their natural habitat. Or, come up to the barn and get up close and personal with them during our weekend operating hours where you can feed our animals, browse our old-timey farm store for a bottled drink and a rock on the porch, or go inside our barnyard to the petting zoo and get some "Animal Therapy"!
Pitch your tent on the edge of the woods or close by the stream in the woods. If you enjoy quietly watching wildlife, you're in for a treat…this magical portion of the farm provides a forest cover for songbirds, owls, deer, red-tailed hawks, red fox and wild turkey.
We allow check-ins any time during the week or on weekends with a 2-day max. Weekends are when we open the Farm to visitors (campers and non-campers alike) to visit our animals and our Farm Store with a variety of groceries, supplies, gifts, and critter food in .50/bags so you can feed your choice of animals!
Our farm is an agritourism farm which means we offer events, workshops, and tours to the public for a small fee. We don't have hookups, so bring a generator if you need it.
We are dog friendly and offer an off-leash dog park (NEW!) as the only area where your dog can run free! We don't allow dogs in the farm area where are poultry and livestock are.
Our large grassy field can accommodate multiple tent campers, travel trailers and RVs and we have picnic tables, porta potties and fire rings for each camping party to have their own space.
