1 campground with availability this weekend
Several cabin camping options exist near McLeansville, North Carolina at campgrounds including Greensboro KOA and Haw River State Park. The Greensboro KOA provides full-service cabins with electricity, water, and climate control systems. Haw River State Park Cabins feature electric hookups with both 30-amp and 50-amp options to accommodate various needs. Most cabins include basic furnishings and some offer kitchen facilities, though amenities vary by location. The sleeping arrangements typically include beds with mattresses, but space can be limited at certain sites. "The cabins are really nice based on staying in a KOA cabin in the past and the exterior looks, which have been updated," according to one visitor review.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Greensboro KOA requires a minimum two-night stay for cabin rentals, with rates around $100 per night. Reservations are essential, particularly during summer months when families frequently book these accommodations. Most cabins in the area permit pets, though specific rules vary by property. Deep River Campground and RV Park, located approximately 35 miles from McLeansville, provides additional cabin options with full hookups in a setting close to the NC State Zoo. One review noted, "The site was big and good for the short amount of time we spent in it," though some cabins may have space limitations.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Basic cooking equipment is typically available, though specifics vary considerably between properties. The Greensboro KOA features a small store with camping essentials and basic grocery items. Highway noise can be a consideration at the Greensboro location, as several reviews mention its proximity to Interstate 40. Cabin guests should check with individual properties about specific amenities and what supplies to bring, as furnishing levels differ significantly between campgrounds. Bathrooms and shower facilities may be shared at some locations while private in others.
"We stayed at this rv campground while visiting the many things to see and do in Greensboro North Carolina. visitgreensboronc.com The rv sites are all pull thru nearly level, big gravel sites."
"Nice place to camp for a few days - we had a campervan and were surrounded by huge, but quiet, RVs."
"Only a short 45 minute drive will get you to this spot for a quick day trip or a few nights. Super pet friendly and well maintained campground."
"While a student at Wake, I hiked the trails frequently. So, I know the park pretty well. The SP is in a great location, especially if you are in Central NC. "

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
RangerWas a monthly Camper when I came in to the campground. Nobody was cleaning the men’s room. No one was trying to collect the fall leaves. This is an old run down campground. I cleaned the men’s room for free because there was no staff to clean. I regret helping the owner for free on multiple occasions.
GuideThe sites are very large, long and wider at the back, plenty of room for a big group or family. The bathrooms look new and they are clean. Here during the week so it's very empty and quiet.
TravelerWe visited Crosswinds campground at Jordan Lake State Park on the worst heatwave of the year. The great thing about this area is that the sites a well shaded. We were about 50 yards from the lake, with the wind blowing we still were comfortable all day. We stayed on Loop A, which is my favorite loop at the park. There’s no electricity or water at the sites. There are water spickets throughout the loop with potable water. The site is awesome! There’s a small pond beside it. The neighboring sites are close, but regular conversations can not be heard.this loop is always quiet even when there are a lot of people, but it’s never been full when I’m there. I didn’t do good with photos except for the food.
ScoutThe campground is very well kept. Super friendly staff and in a good location.
ScoutDecent campground in a beautiful location along Lake Jordan. Crosswinds Campground is one of several sites on the lake. We chose this location since the gates stay open all the time, while other sites have a curfew that can lock you out for the night.
The staff are super friendly and helpful. There’s apparently a camp host whom we never met and they’re on the site next to ours (not sure if they’re supposed to greet us or help us get acquainted with the site, but the staff member at check in was great and did all that when we arrived).
Loop C is quiet, very few children, and less road noise compared to the other loops, but doesn’t have the same access to the lake.
Site C50 is conveniently located close to the bath house, has a large fire pit with adjustable grill, picnic table, and hookups for water and electricity. We’re in a tent, so really just use the electricity. The picnic table here should be replaced, as the wood seems to be rotting, but still does the job. There are a few sites in loop C that do have direct access to the lake, but those tend to be booked all of the time. We explored one last night and couldn’t believe it was vacant and how much nicer it seemed.
Bathrooms are not as clean as I would like, but I bring disinfectant wipes to wipe the toilet before use. Showers are fine, but use an annoying motion sensor to turn the water on/off. Showering at night is annoying with the bugs because the bathhouse is lit like a beacon (probably for safety). Waiting for the daytime is a better experience. Also, there isn’t a washing station for dishes, and we do that at our site.
Firewood can be purchased by the staff at the campground entrance; however, the exact same firewood is almost $4 fewer at a Refuel station down the street. Definitely stop into that gas station store for things you might need.
Overall, really good experience staying here, some annoying things, but won’t ruin your stay.
GuideIt’s not too often you get amazing hospitality anywhere these days, BUT THIS PLACE HAS IT! From the phone call to the arrival, the Indian Heritage RV Park is impressive. The park has level gravel sites, both pull-thru’s and back-ins, and they vary from fully- to partially-shaded to full sun. Solid-connecting WiFi is available with speeds to easily watch a movie. There’s even a trash can at each site. But wait, there’s more. If you’ve been on the road way too long and crave personal bathroom space, check out their bathhouse—individual rooms make it feel like you’re at a resort…plenty of space and super clean and inviting! The laundry room offers two washers, dryers, folding tables, and a hanging rack (bring your own hangers); again, super clean. This park is located on the Smith River and I highly recommend getting a lakeside spot if one’s available…spectacular view if you have a back porch on your rig! Jody was our host and makes you feel like you’re part of the family. The owner (sorry I forgot his name) is also very friendly. Restaurants are a few blocks down the street but you wouldn’t know it unless you took a short walk…that’s how tucked away this place is. Definitely staying here again the next time I travel Hwy 58!
ScoutReally fantastic spot to camp! Great sites and hook ups (no sewer, but EASY dump station)! Go for Loop B - it has the beach.
Cabin camping near McLeansville, North Carolina offers visitors access to several regional lakes and river systems. Located in the Piedmont region at approximately 700 feet elevation, the area experiences mild winters and warm, humid summers. Seasonal temperature variations influence cabin availability and amenities, with most facilities operating year-round but offering different services depending on the season.
Hiking trails: Hanging Rock State Park features numerous trail options, with Moore's Wall Loop Trail offering views of city skylines. "There are a lot of trails to explore, but they are not just trails to nowhere. There are five waterfalls to see, a climbing access area, Cook's Wall, and much more," explains one visitor to Hanging Rock State Park Campground.
Swimming beaches: Jordan Lake provides beach access directly from some camping areas. "Close to the beach where we sat for hours. Clean bathrooms. Spacious sites. Plenty of privacy," notes a visitor at Crosswinds Campground, which is approximately 40 miles from McLeansville.
Fishing opportunities: Paradise Lake offers shoreline fishing with multiple species available. A camper mentions, "We stayed overnight on the lake (#45). The campground is very well maintained with clean restrooms. Loved the opportunity to let the dog swim." Most fishing areas don't require additional permits beyond a standard North Carolina fishing license.
Quiet surroundings: Despite highway proximity, many cabins provide relatively peaceful settings. At Forest Lake RV and Camping Resort, a visitor notes, "We have been coming here for about 6 years and we have always enjoyed our stay. There is a nice restaurant to eat at, a small convenience store, arcade games, 3 pools and a ton of activities."
Kid-friendly activities: Multiple pool options and recreation areas keep children entertained. "The children will love the caboose/play area, and there is a large pool, which was actually open. There is also a fenced dog walk and another playground for children," shares a reviewer at Greensboro KOA.
Easy highway access: Most cabins are strategically located near major routes while still maintaining a camping atmosphere. "Easy on-Easy off access to several major highways which is exactly what a KOA Journey describes! Just perfect for us. The staff is welcoming, friendly, and very helpful!" comments another Greensboro KOA visitor.
Site variations: Cabin sizes differ significantly between locations with varying levels of privacy. At Deep River Campground, a visitor explains, "We were on lot 20, which is a double space designed for a larger rig, very private with lots of shade."
Highway noise: Several campgrounds experience road noise, requiring preparation for light sleepers. "This campground is only 100 yards from the Interstate! Lots of road noise all night. Very noisy especially in a tent," cautions a Greensboro KOA reviewer.
Reservation requirements: Advance booking is necessary for most cabin accommodations, especially for weekend stays. Many locations have specific check-in time limitations, with one Paradise Lake visitor noting, "We stayed here while visiting the many things to see and do in Greensboro North Carolina."
Weather preparation: The region experiences seasonal temperature variations requiring appropriate cabin selection. A Hyco Lake State Park visitor shares, "Cabins are small but we made it work for our family of 7. We had a blast it was the weekend prior Labor Day we fished saw old friends in Virginia and had a wonderful time."
Bathroom facilities: Shower and restroom quality varies significantly between campgrounds. "Bathhouse was ok. It was clean enough, but you could tell it was extremely old, and needed to be completely redone instead of just painted over," explains a Greensboro KOA camper, suggesting families might want to check bathroom conditions before booking.
Site selection: Request specific cabin locations when reservations are made. "We arrive at campground and entered without issues, however, there was no signs directing us to site numbers. We did find our reserved site but unlike many places we have been there wasn't any receipt or tags attached to pole," reports a Hyco Lake State Park visitor.
Hookup locations: Pay attention to utility placement when selecting cabin sites. At Hyco Lake, a visitor explains, "We also noted that our water and electricity was on the passenger side of our vehicle so it was a good thing we had an extra hose to reach the water as well as a long enough cord to reach the electric box."
Leveling challenges: Some sites require significant adjustment for comfortable setup. "The gravel sites are wide enough but ours was way off from level. Nice dog area and small playground," notes a Greensboro KOA visitor, highlighting the importance of bringing proper leveling equipment.
Site sizes: Cabin and RV site dimensions vary widely between campgrounds. A camper at Indian Heritage RV Park reports, "Just got here. The people who run this place have been very kind and great to work with on reservations. The site we have was easy to back in. Everything works well."
