Fairy Stone State Park Campground houses four yurts that provide a comfortable glamping experience in the Virginia countryside, just a short drive from Mayodan. Each yurt features a full-size bed with a twin trundle bed, indoor rocking chairs, a small table with chairs, and a couch for relaxing after a day of outdoor activities. The spacious wrap-around deck with rocking chairs offers a perfect spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. While the yurts don't have electricity or running water, clean bathhouses are conveniently located nearby. Other glamping options in the region include Greensboro KOA and Fancy Gap-Blue Ridge Parkway KOA, which offer cabin accommodations with more amenities than traditional camping. One guest shared, "We stayed in a Yurt at Fairy Stone State Park. It has no electricity or water but the bath house was close. The yurt has a double bed, a twin trundle, a couch and some chairs, and a table and chairs."
The glamping campsites around Mayodan provide easy access to numerous outdoor activities while offering more comfort than traditional camping. At Fairy Stone State Park, glampers can hunt for the distinctive cross-shaped fairy stones, a unique geological feature that gives the park its name. The park also features hiking trails, a lake for swimming, and a playground for families. Chantilly Farm RV/Tent Campground & Event Venue offers glamping accommodations with scenic mountain views and hosts music events throughout the year. Willville Motorcycle Camp provides cabin glamping specifically designed for motorcycle enthusiasts, located just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. According to a camper, "The Yurt we stayed in was a little weird because the Fire Pit and Picnic table is behind and almost under the yurt, down a decently step slope and the yurt sits on stilts on the back side. The Yurt next to us #3 had the fire pit and table right up front next to the parking spot which would be better I think."
"Trash cans, fire pits, level spots, picnic tables were at every location. Easy access to the water, playgrounds & hiking trails were just moments away from the camper."
"The bathhouse was well kept. The staff had decorations throughout the park for Halloween which is something I dont remember them doing in the past. There is a nice playground for the kids."
from $60 - $75 / night
"This beautiful campground was centrally located within the state park and gave quick access to a wide variety of easy to strenuous hiking trails."
"No water and electric hookups which we sort of prefer as it seems to be less attractive to mega sized RVs with noisy generators."

"Washrooms are at quite a distance from this site so we were glad to be completely self-contained. Accessibility to both beach swimming areas is risky for those needing to use a cane or crutches."
"The lower loop is pretty level, fun to walk and ride bikes around, and the kids love the playground! The bathhouse is always clean and you can't beat the atmosphere around the campground!"

"Our site had a great view of the beautiful lake. There was a pool our kids could swim in until 7:00pm. They let us borrow a metal fire pit so we could make s’mores."
"This site along with sites 8 and 9 have electric so I was able to run an extension cord into my tent. This site has gorgeous views of the lake and seems to share a grill with #11. "

"This campground is very clean and the staff is great. Water park is awesome. Large trail to go for a little walk. Very reasonably priced. Will go again."
"Bath house was clean and the grounds were very well maintained. The pond dam was really close to our site and the rushing water will really lull you to sleep at night."
GuideStopped here after our fiasco with holly bluff. Beautiful campground with trees. Very quiet during the day and peaceful. The only thing we found curious was the vehicle in and right back out activity between 10:30-pm and 1am back and forth to campers that were long term stays. Made nighttime hard to sleep in site 3 with vehicles back and forth for hours .
ScoutLooking for a nice place for a camping getaway? We highly recommend checking out the Deep River Campground in Asheboro, NC. The location itself is beautiful. It is literally on the Deep River and features a hiking trail that runs along the river past the remnants of a historical damn, where a small area of rapids gently swirls around the big rocks spanning the river. There’s also a large lake with a nice grassy expanse for picnics, playing games or just lazing around lakeside. This campground has been around for a while, but it has new owners now and they are breathing some for real new life into the place. They have already made lots of repairs and improvements, and you can see more in progress. There are sites for RVs with all the hook-ups, and great primitive sites for tent camping, several located right on the river. If you don’t have an RV and sleeping on the ground doesn’t spark joy, they have a few small rustic but nicely-appointed cabins. You’ll find two pools, several covered picnic shelters, a playground for the small ones, and several options for older kids and adults to play, like a horseshoe pit and a nice game room. They also have planned activities like movie nights and weiner roasts most evenings to entertain and create community among campers. They are pet friendly and have their own pet mascots on site— a flock of ducks including beautifully colored teals and mallards. We were just there for 2 nights, but I have a good feeling we’ll be visiting there again soon. Definitely worth a visi
GuideGreat spot to visit, with pool fishing ect. Very nice people and clean.
GuideWe had a blast here. My kiddo was able to roam freely and safely with other kids. We enjoyed a hike with the dogs, as well as swimming at the beaches.
ScoutThe campground is beautiful and extremely well maintained. The entire staff is friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Very quiet, adjoins the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the small community of Fancy Gap is interesting.
ScoutThis is a nice little place with level sites and easy shower/restroom access. I thought it was a little pricey and we had to drive to the lake, but it's a nice place to paddle board or kayak because they don't allow motor boats. They have a nice beach that our kid liked. You also have to the fairy stone hunting ground - we didn't find any. But there's a cool hiking trail with a couple of abandoned mine entrances.
ScoutThis is the perfect camp ground whether you’re wanting a quiet spot, or family fun. The grounds are spacious and the sites offer a great variety.
TravelerJust arrived, looks great. Opted for a pull thru near the pool.
ScoutTruly a gem of a place if your on two wheels. The sites are perfect for tents and plenty of trees if hammocks are more your thing. The amenities are clean and work well. No complaints about anything other than not having a fireplace at your site, but there is a big community firepit.
