Summer temperatures typically reach 85-90°F with high humidity, while winters are mild with occasional freezing temperatures and limited snowfall.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Cane Creek Campground offers access to lake fishing with dedicated areas for anglers. "Beautiful little park nestled into the woods! The 40s sites seem to be the best spots to get for a view or access to Lake activities," notes a camper who stayed at Cane Creek Campground.
Scenic drives: The area provides easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway from several campgrounds. A visitor to Willville Motorcycle Camp noted it's "only a couple of minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway" with "lots of great riding in the area."
Swimming: Several campgrounds in the region maintain seasonal pools. Lake Myers RV Resort features "2 large pools" according to one reviewer, while another mentioned, "There was not much at all for them to do other than play in the pool" when discussing activities for younger children.
What campers like
Farm experiences: Some properties offer unique agricultural settings. "Ivory Clay Farm is now bookable on The Dyrt and offers a nice quiet place to rest just outside of the Winston-Salem & Greensboro Area. There is plenty to enjoy at the farm too," explains a reviewer at Ivory Clay Farm.
Wildlife viewing: Many campers appreciate the natural surroundings. A camper at Ivory Clay Farm mentioned, "We love relaxing & enjoying the bonfires, sunsets, wildlife & star gazing." The wooded settings throughout the region provide habitat for deer, birds, and small mammals.
Social activities: Organized events are common at larger campgrounds. "Fun activities... kid friendly... love playing BINGO here!!" shared an enthusiastic visitor to Lake Myers RV Resort. Seasonal programming varies by location and time of year.
What you should know
Varying quality: Reviews indicate significant differences between properties. "This is one of the best campgrounds we've found in all of our RV travels," wrote one camper about Jones Station RV Park, while others reported less positive experiences at different locations.
Seasonal operations: Operating schedules vary considerably. One location "operates seasonally from April through November" while others like Forest Lake remain open "all year." Some amenities close during winter months even when parks remain open.
Site selection matters: Position and privacy vary dramatically within campgrounds. At Forest Lake, a camper observed their site "was on the opposite side of the real lake access and right across from the annual spots so we never really had too much privacy but most of the neighbors were very curteous and friendly."
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly amenities: Look for campgrounds with dedicated facilities. "There is a putt putt course, pool, adults only pool and lounge, family lounge with small arcade games, pool table, and other games," reported a visitor to Thousand Trails Forest Lake, who added there were "activities planned to include an outdoor movie (with free popcorn), arts & crafts for the kids, candy bar bingo, and a DJ."
Age considerations: Not all campgrounds cater to younger children. One parent noted about Lake Myers, "There was not much at all for them to do other than play in the pool... There is a play ground and game room for older kids but nothing for the smaller children to do. If it was just adults going, or even older children maybe 7 and up it would be a great location."
Animals: Some properties feature farm animals. Cobble Hill (now Carolina Rose) has "goats and a horse" on site, and a visitor mentioned that "getting fresh eggs from the check-in store each morning" was "the best part" of their experience.
Tips from RVers
Site specifics: Request sites away from construction when possible. One RVer at Forest Lake reported, "We get to the site to discover it backs onto a construction area where they're putting more sites... at 7:30am Saturday morning they were out in full force with huge dump trucks and diggers."
Road conditions: Interior roads vary substantially in quality. A camper at Lake Myers warned, "This park is quite difficult to navigate the roads and sites if you have a larger rig," while another at Greystone RV Park appreciated the "flat, paved spots" and noted sites were "concrete" with "easy access to/from Interstate 40."
Long-term occupancy: Be aware many parks have a high percentage of permanent residents. "This is basically a trailer park. Packed, old, nasty," wrote one dissatisfied camper about Lake Myers, while another observed "90% of the sites are occupied by permanent campers." However, a different perspective noted, "Those types always seem to be laid back and quiet."
