Surprisingly Quiet
I've read reviews about noise levels and lack of privacy. But we experienced the opposite, at least at our campsite.

Thousand Trails Lake Gaston offers furnished cabins on the shores of Lake Gaston with water views and easy lake access. Cabins include beds, picnic tables, and basic utilities including electricity. Proximity to the water means mornings can be spent by the lakefront and fishing opportunities are plentiful. One camper shared, "We rented a cabin and although it was small, the kids had a blast." Lake Gaston Americamps provides year-round cabin lodging with fire rings and access to full campground amenities including showers, toilets, and drinking water stations.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Most properties require advance reservations, especially during peak summer months when lakefront cabins book quickly. KOA-style cabins at Enfield-Rocky Mount KOA and Emporia KOA Holiday provide standardized accommodations with reliable amenities and pet-friendly options. Occoneechee State Park Campground offers cabin rentals with toilets and trash service while maintaining a natural setting. A visitor commented, "The campground was everything you could ask for with large, level sites that are very secluded."
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties—some offer only outdoor cooking areas while others provide basic indoor cooking facilities. On-site camp stores at Lake Gaston Americamps and Thousand Trails Lake Gaston stock essential supplies. According to a review, "There is a little shop where we could get supplies, food, coffee, etc." Freedom Hill Resort and RV Resort at Carolina Crossroads provide cabins with sewer hookups and shower facilities, making them suitable for longer stays or families needing more comfortable accommodations.

LOVELY grounds, but full sun & highway
Beautifully kept park with a great jungle gym (12 year old approved!) sweet donkeys, a CLEAN dog park, the pool was not crowded at all despite beautiful weather.
The only downsides are most of the spots are full sun, and it’s directly in view of the highway.

Worst campground we have been to
I don’t even know where to begin on how bad this place is. For the price, I was expecting a clean park with lots to do and nice staff…I got none of that. There’s no sewage hookups in most sites and no WiFi. Most sites are annual campers who live there and I don’t think by choice. Our neighbors a few sites down were using hardcore drugs in the open in front of children. Our site was so uneven and FILTHY, it was littered with an entire trash bag full of cigarette butts and beer cans. There’s nothing to do besides swim in a crowded, cloudy pool full of sloppy drunks or swim in the lake. We were given a packet full of insane rules, after being screamed at by a staff member at the entrance while we were trying to find someone to check in with. We went to the store during one of the very limited times they were open and got to listen to the staff there say horrifying things about guests…in front of my minor children. When we returned, we found two unsavory men going through our belongings. We hooked up and left with two days remaining. This homeless encampment they call a campground is disgusting, rude and unsafe. DO NOT GO!

Small tent sites with easy access to trails
We stayed here Memorial weekend 2026. We had a tent only site with no hook ups. It was site 48 which is the first site you come across when pulling into the campgrounds.
Site was built into a hill and had several steps leading up to it. Much smaller site than we are used to at VA State parks. Looking at the other sites they were also on the smaller side and oddly shaped.
Easy access to the River Bank trail and Captain Staunton trail directly from the campsites. Great when you have kiddos that don't want to walk a ton.
Great views throughout of the Staunton River & Dan River. Lots of deer sightings in the morning and early evenings. Great activities with the rangers including a wagon wide through the park.
It was rainy during our stay so no chance to take advantage of the Dark Sky classification. When skys are clear they do have an astronomer that comes out on the weekends in the summer.

Sweet Community
This is a surprisingly zen spot for what is basically a parking lot surrounded a pine plantation. The community is very friendly and includes a lot of long-term residents, some of whom even have little veggie gardens. There's a lovely little pool and hot tub (unfortunately for the youth, they aren't allowed in the latter), a pool table, a grill, a little putt-putt golf course, and a nice dog park. There is also (at least on the women's side) a very nice universal access shower suite. And some of the spots come with sweet little gazebos to hang out in! I was permitted, with only a few hours notice, to arrive after office hours, for which I was very grateful.

Medoc Mountain State Park Campground
Wonderful State Park Campground
Medoc Mountain State Park campground has been recently renovated. All of the full hook up sites and primitive sites are spacious and well kept. We camped in site #26 which was level and spacious. The sites on the outside of the loop are pretty level. The bathrooms/showers are new, spacious, and clean. There is a great playground in walking distance. There are many hiking trails that start near the campground. None of them have amazing views, but they are nice and well marked. I enjoyed the Bluff View trail the most. We were able to hike 6 miles both days we were there. Added bonus: campground is close to I-95. The only drawback is the lack of a close grocery store. Dollar General is less than 5 miles away.

Newly renovated campground
Beautiful, small, newly renovated campground. Gorgeous bath house. A few sites are level but most aren’t. Quiet. Easy to get to from I-95.

Hidden Gem
Very first RV park at and now like a second home. We have family in NC so we are here often. The staff is best. Sites are clean and level. Each with a fire pit and picnic table. You can book daily or long term but you may not want to leave. In the summer there is a salt water pool with lounge chairs. There is a pond filled with ducks and few donkeys for entertainment.
Guide to Littleton
Cabin camping near Littleton, North Carolina provides access to numerous waterways including Lake Gaston, Kerr Lake, and the Roanoke River. The region features gently rolling terrain with elevations ranging from 200-300 feet above sea level. Summer temperatures regularly reach the 90s with high humidity, making waterfront accommodations particularly desirable during peak season.
What to do
Paddling adventures: At Medoc Mountain State Park Campground, visitors can explore the creek by canoe. "We also conoed down the creek. The creek is about 2.5 miles long and took us only 2 hours to paddle," reports one camper who found the waterway perfect for a half-day excursion.
Stargazing opportunities: Staunton River State Park Campground offers exceptional night sky viewing as an International Dark Sky Park. "The sky and stars were amazing! If you love stargazing this is the park for you. The park offers rentals of telescopes too," notes a visitor who appreciated the astronomy amenities.
Fishing from your site: Waterfront cabin sites at Lake Gaston Americamps allow fishing without leaving your temporary home. "The tent only sites are on the water so the view is pretty, but not private. My kids were able to play in the water and we could fish right from our site which was the best part," shares a camper who enjoyed the convenience.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Occoneechee State Park Campground maintains well-kept shower buildings and restrooms. "The bath house seemed quite new and was spacious. Showers were hot and had great water pressure," notes a visitor who appreciated the updated amenities.
Campsite privacy: Many campers value the secluded nature of sites at certain parks. "The campground was everything you could ask for! Large, level sites that are very secluded and far apart from each other," shares a reviewer about Medoc Mountain State Park.
Lake access: Bullocksville Campground at Kerr Lake State Recreation Area offers prime waterfront locations. "Great tent campsite close to water and boat launch on Kerr Lake. The shower rooms are very clean," notes a reviewer who appreciated both the lake proximity and facilities.
What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Cabin availability varies significantly by season. "We stayed in January and the year-round hot tub was closed. The bathrooms were clean. WiFi didn't work and poor cell service," reports a visitor at RV Resort At Carolina Crossroads.
Site types vary dramatically: Campgrounds offer different cabin styles from rustic to fully equipped. "We stayed in Cabin #3 and it was perfect. It's a 3BR/2BA spacious cabin, wooded and lakeside. Great sunsets and nice big deck," shares a visitor to Occoneechee State Park.
Reservation policies: Most parks require advance booking, especially for cabins. "We were happy to be as close to her as we could get, and we appreciated being able to stay at this campground for 2 weeks," notes a camper who secured an extended reservation at Enfield-Rocky Mount KOA.
Tips for camping with families
Water recreation options: Emporia KOA Holiday offers multiple water features for children. "Kids had a blast playing in the water and taking the paddle boats out. Campground was clean, quiet and spacious! We camped in a tent not far from the beach area," shares a family who enjoyed the amenities.
Playground access: Many campgrounds include play areas for children. "This is probably our favorite thus far. We like the lake and it's easily accessible. It contains putt putt, pool, store, 2 beaches, dock, fishing areas, playground, and tons of shade," notes a family at Thousand Trails Lake Gaston.
Educational opportunities: Several parks offer ranger programs. "Park rangers had great kids programs including animal feeding frenzy where we learned about snakes and turtles. Also lots of any pelts to learn about," reports a visitor to Staunton River State Park who appreciated the interactive learning.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling challenges: Some cabin areas share parking with RV sites that require adjustment. "Gravel sights not level. It surprised me that they had no cable and limited WiFi," notes a visitor to Enfield-Rocky Mount KOA who found the technology limitations more problematic than the physical setup.
Utility access: Not all cabins offer the same hookups. "Limited sewer hook up. Some sites uneven. Pull through sites available. Staff was wonderful. Stocked camp store, small grill, but great food," reports an RV camper at Thousand Trails Lake Gaston who found the staff compensated for infrastructure limitations.
Turning radius concerns: Some campgrounds present navigation challenges. "Park had a tight turning radius and we struggled turning down aisle D in our 42 ft 5th wheel. Despite it saying it was 60 ft, spot was still tight," shares an RVer at RV Resort At Carolina Crossroads who encountered unexpected maneuvering difficulties.
