Best Campgrounds near Jamestown, NC

The Piedmont region surrounding Jamestown, North Carolina features a diverse array of camping options within a 30-mile radius. Oak Hollow City Campground in nearby High Point provides full hookup sites for RVs and tent camping areas with amenities including showers, water, and electric connections. Greensboro KOA, located about 15 minutes north, offers cabin rentals alongside traditional camping options. For those seeking more natural settings, Uwharrie National Forest lies approximately 45 minutes southwest, where Badin Lake and Arrowhead campgrounds provide lakeside camping with varying levels of development. Hanging Rock State Park, though farther at about an hour north, remains popular for its combination of scenic mountain views and established camping facilities.

Reservations are essential at most developed campgrounds in the region, particularly during summer weekends and holidays. The mild climate supports year-round camping, though spring and fall offer the most comfortable temperatures with highs typically between 65-85°F. Summer humidity can be significant, especially in July and August. Cell service varies considerably, with good coverage at campgrounds near urban areas but spotty reception in more remote locations like parts of Uwharrie National Forest. As one camper noted about Badin Lake Campground: "The sites are huge so no need to worry about neighbors being close. Easy access to the water and great views with lots of fishing and hiking paths nearby."

Lakeside camping receives consistently high ratings from visitors to the area, with Badin Lake Campground frequently mentioned for its spacious sites and water access. Several campers highlight the quality of hiking trails available, particularly at Hanging Rock State Park where waterfalls and scenic overlooks enhance the experience. Site levelness can be an issue at some locations, with reviews of Oak Hollow noting that certain sections feel crowded while others offer more space. Highway noise affects some campgrounds, particularly Greensboro KOA, which sits near a major roadway. Wildlife sightings are common, with deer, turkey, and various bird species frequently mentioned in reviews. Most campgrounds welcome pets, though specific rules vary by location.

    Midway Campground Resort

    Cozy and fun

    I came in early and they didn't mind so I could get some rest before my long ride. Staff super friendly and sites are nice. All accommodations available. 5 star from this guy.

    Greensboro KOA

    Noisy- Ok for one night

    This campground is only 100 yards from the Interstate! Lots of road noise all night. Very noisy especially in a tent. The sites are large enough for most RVs. Adequate space between sites, and some grass. There are a few trees around the campground but not in the RV sites. Full hookups (30/50 amp) Pool, playground and camp store with basics. Shower and bathroom were clean.

    Cobble Hill RV Campground (Formerly) Carolina Rose

    good stop & stay

    campground being remodeled so bathhouses were a little walk away but not too inconvenient. pool was also closed for now BUT overall cute location. did park on site 59 (pull through) but was SUPER unlevel. cute pond and amphitheater too! has laundry as well.

    coolest part about this spot is that it’s about a 10 min drive into Catawba college town which was a super nice area for us being younger. perfect mix of Boulder & Philly :)

    hosts were SUPER friendly and nice :)

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Asheboro

    Great stay

    Campground has many things to do for the Littles. I would recommend renting the “off road” golf cart for fun. The only negative is the lack of bath houses. Although we have a full bathroom in our camper we typically use the showers at the campgrounds. There were only 2 bathhouses in the campground. Our site was well shaded and enough space between the sites.

    Tanglewood Park

    Shaded and clean

    No permanent sites so it's clean with no clutter, host greeted upon arrival, lots of access to hike/bike trails, near park with ponds, pool, ball courts. Several sites including mine very hard to level

    Brookhaven Mill Farm

    Quaint Site with Goats!

    I only needed to stay at this site for a few hours with my dog for dinner and a quick nap before heading on my way! The grass was a little overgrown which was just a little itchy but otherwise it was an amazing site, with a well maintained porta potty and cute animals on site!

    Black Dog Acres RV Park

    Clean, Easy, & Nice

    We stopped just for a night as we were traveling 74 south. It was just a little off the path (a few low trees on the route but nothing going slow and caulk won’t fix). Super easy pull through sites with convenient hookups. No bathrooms so did need to hook up water. Every body was super nice and friendly, 10/10 would stay again.

    Lake Reidsville Recreation Park

    A Hidden Gem in North Carolina

    Lake Reidsville Campground was a beautiful and peaceful escape from the daily hustle. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by serene water views, lush greenery, and the calming sounds of nature. The campground is well-maintained, and the lake itself is stunning — perfect for morning reflections or evening sunsets.

    The dock area was a favorite spot of mine — great for fishing, relaxing, or just soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. The photo I took captures how inviting and tranquil this place is. It’s clear the city takes pride in keeping the area clean and accessible.

    Whether you’re camping, kayaking, or simply looking for a quiet place to unwind, Lake Reidsville is absolutely worth a visit. I’m already planning to return.

    Arrowhead Campground

    Perfect spot

    Nicely spaced, shaded, and quiet camp ground. A lot of people camp here with their jeeps, sidexsides, and 4wheelers. The bathrooms and showers aren’t fancy but are clean. There’s a boat ramp right by the entrance. Overall an awesome camp ground!


Guide to Jamestown

Camping near Jamestown, North Carolina offers diverse options within moderate driving distance for both tent and RV enthusiasts. The region sits in the Piedmont at approximately 800-900 feet elevation, characterized by rolling hills and mixed hardwood forests. Spring camping brings wildflower displays with dogwoods and redbuds in full bloom, while summer humidity levels often reach 70-80% during July and August.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: At Lake Reidsville Recreation Park, anglers can enjoy stocked waters without needing to venture far from campsites. "The dock area was a favorite spot of mine — great for fishing, relaxing, or just soaking in the peaceful atmosphere," notes camper Luis V.

Disc golf courses: Hagan-Stone Park offers an excellent course layout for disc golf enthusiasts within a well-maintained park setting. "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," shares Daniel P.

Water recreation: Oak Hollow City Campground provides kayak rentals and lake access for cooling off during hot months. "We tent camped on Aug 28. 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. There was a pool our kids could swim in until 7:00pm," explains Larisa C.

Farm experiences: For a unique camping option, consider small farms that allow camping near Jamestown. "I stayed overnight while passing through to Mississippi. The host was very gracious in our email conversations. I setup right near the picnic table with a view of the mini horses," says Karen M. about her stay at Brookhaven Mill Farm.

What campers like

Level sites: Campers frequently mention site levelness as a key factor in campground satisfaction. "The sites are level but our site (#10) was way off from level. Nice dog area and small playground," notes Kelly N. who stayed at Greensboro KOA.

Platform tent sites: Several campgrounds offer raised platforms for tent camping, which many campers prefer during wet conditions. At Hagan-Stone Park, Morgan A. notes: "The tent pad was level but ground around the area was mostly sloped. Was very close to the bath house."

Wooded privacy: Many campers appreciate shaded sites with natural screening between neighbors. "Wide spaces with lots of room under big shade trees. This campground is a muni but is very well maintained," says Dave B. about Tanglewood Park.

Convenient highway access: For travelers passing through, quick highway access matters. "Very neat, clean and wooded campground. Large sites. Boating. Swimming. Close to interstates but not noisey. Can accommodate large rigs and have an open area for those traveling in tandum," shares Cindy C. about Oak Hollow City Campground.

What you should know

Highway noise concerns: Several campgrounds in the Jamestown area sit close to major roadways, which can affect your camping experience. "This campground is right by a highway so traffic noise is high but the views are nice," Libby M. warns about Oak Hollow, while Greensboro KOA offers earplugs at check-in due to interstate proximity.

Limited bathroom facilities: Some campgrounds have insufficient bathroom facilities for their size. At Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park, Rebecca F. notes: "The only negative is the lack of bath houses. Although we have a full bathroom in our camper we typically use the showers at the campgrounds. There were only 2 bathhouses in the campground."

Seasonal operating hours: Certain amenities operate only during peak seasons or limited hours. Pools typically close by early evening (around 7:00 PM), and concession stands might operate weekends only in spring and fall.

Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds within 30 miles of Jamestown require advance reservations, especially for weekend stays. Many campers report difficulty securing sites at Hanging Rock State Park without booking 3-4 months ahead during summer and fall.

Tips for camping with families

Activity-focused campgrounds: For families seeking organized recreation, Thousand Trails Forest Lake offers numerous planned events. "There is a nice restaurant to eat at, a small convenience store, arcade games, 3 pools and a ton of activities. There is also an adult lodge with a tv and pool table," shares Lauren S.

Playground access: Several campgrounds feature quality playgrounds that keep children entertained. "Very nice play grounds. Does cost and long waiting line at pool, but one of the best to just get away and relax," Justin S. mentions about Hagan-Stone Park.

Wildlife education opportunities: The region's campgrounds offer chances to observe local wildlife safely. "We love coming to Lake Reidsville. We have tent camped many times there and now have been with a camper. It was peaceful and the view is always amazing," Matthew S. says about a weekend getaway.

Educational trails: Many of the best places to camp near Jamestown feature interpretive trails suitable for children. At Hanging Rock State Park, David N. reports: "From spotting salamanders near the creek to pretending they were mountain explorers on the trails, they were thoroughly entertained the whole trip."

Tips from RVers

Bring leveling equipment: Many campgrounds in the Jamestown area feature sloped sites requiring substantial leveling gear. "Some of the sites are very steep. Situated in a beautiful park with lots of activities. Dog park. Trails. Nearby lake, pool," Karen S. explains about her experience at Tanglewood Park.

Water hookup lengths: Several campgrounds have shared water connections requiring longer hoses. "Loop B is heavily wooded with 30amp and water every-other site. You may need as much as 50' water hose," advises Rick S.

Campground road conditions: RVers should be aware of road quality within campgrounds. "Roads are the worst pot holes speed bumps that are curbs!" warns Jackson F. about Forest Lake RV and Camping Resort, suggesting careful driving when arriving or departing.

Dump station access: Not all campgrounds offer full hookups or convenient dump stations. Check availability before booking, especially for longer stays, as some facilities may require driving to separate dump locations within the park.
