Pet owners camping at Shallow Ford Natural Area can access primitive campsites along the Mountains to Sea Trail where dogs can enjoy the peaceful natural setting with river sounds as backdrop. Dogs should remain leashed on trails to protect local wildlife. Sites at Hagan-Stone Park provide ample shade and privacy with nearby amenities including multiple playgrounds, fishing ponds, hiking trails, and a swimming pool. Campers with dogs particularly appreciate Oak Hollow City Campground and Jones Station RV Park for their level sites and water access. Both locations maintain clean facilities and enforce standard pet policies requiring waste pickup and leash control.

    Eno River State Park Campground

    So green! Gorgeous River!

    This is one of my favorite camping spots in the North Carolina triangle area.  There is a tremendous amount of hiking and trails to do around here.  The Eno River is more than safe to swim or paddle in.  Dogs are welcome here! If you can camp close to the river, I recommend, it's great to fall asleep to the sounds of the river.  Bring bug spray!

    Tanglewood Park

    Nice and new!

    Great hosts, spacious spots, nearby dog park, loved staying here. The bath houses are a little dated but very clean. There is horse shoe, volleyball, soccer goals on the camp ground. I would stay here all the time if I could!

    Poplar Point Campground — Jordan Lake State Recreation Area

    Outdoor Perfection @ Jordan Lake SRA Poplar Point Campground

    Poplar Point Campground could quite possibly be the best campground in all of North Carolina! Yes, I know, that’s quite a statement to make, considering all of the amazing places in the great state of North Carolina. So let me explain why I reached this conclusion:

    • Some of the most outstanding hiking trails

    • Heavily wooded forest paradise that delivers privacy and solitude

    • Perfectly maintained amenities such as picnic tables, fold-up fire ring and grills

    • Bathroom facilities are some of the best I’ve experienced with state-run facilities

    • Direct access to a fantastic lakeside experience, complete with boat launches

    • Designated swimming area complete with life vests

    • On-site park staff were nothing short of amazing, helpful and incredibly friendly

    • Close access to purchase anything that might be needed 

    Insider’s tip? Be sure to get down to the lake from wherever your campsite is just after sunset and bring a couple of folding chairs and a telescope (pre-planning here is needed!) to catch a glimpse of one of the most amazing star-studded night skies you’ve ever seen in your life! 

    Happy Camping!

    Tanglewood Park

    New, Basic, but Nice

    We only stayed for 1 night as we were passing through, but we plan to return one day.

    Positives are it’s a newer campground, nice and shaded, full hookups (w,e,s), lots were wide, Easy to get in and out of, plenty to do within the park (hiking, fishing, kayak/canoe, etc), has a nice dog park, hosts were very welcoming and kind, VERY clean.

    Negatives are unlevel lots (we had to lower ours by over 4” and still weren’t level, but couldn’t adjust anymore), sites aren’t exactly private - but there was a bit of space between sites.

    Tanglewood Park

    . Beautiful place

    Beautiful place. At $35 a night, there is a lot to enjoy. The only thing you need to be aware of is that some of the sights are very slanted. Very tall levelers are needed. But they do have cable, wifi(that’s ok) a dog park and lots more. It’s worth it.

    Tanglewood Park

    Excellent County Park with Plenty to Do

    This is our local park so we're a bit spoiled. It was perfect for our first outing in our new 34' travel trailer. Plenty of shade in the campground which unfortunately makes backing a challenge in some sides dodging the trees. The park has great mountain biking, walking/hiking trails, horseback riding, gold, swimming, playgrounds and a great dog park. It's the place we go on the weekend as locals and a great place to visit for campers. Hosts were extremely friendly and do a fantastic job keeping the sides clean and cleared of even the smallest twigs and branches from the tree.

    Cedarock Park

    Hidden gem for a quick outdoor getaway

    Cedarock Park, located in Burlington, North Carolina, is a hidden gem for all sorts of outdoor activities. The park offers hike-in camping with a handful of sites scattered along Rock Creek. The sites are well spaced and can accommodate large groups (you only pay $1 for each additional person for groups larger than 10). The park is also home to 6 miles of hiking trails and 6 miles of equestrian trails. There are two fantastic disc golf courses (I personally enjoy the Wellspring course) and even a historical farm that sheds light on what life was like as a farmer in 19th century North Carolina.

    Crosswinds Campground — Jordan Lake State Recreation Area

    A Short Drive, Yet a World Away

    This area is such a short drive from the triangle area of North Carolina, yet this park feels quite remote. Like many state parks, this one excels in the services department. 

    Bathrooms and showers were clean and comfortable, as were the campsites. 

    Each camping loop felt tucked away into its own little neighborhood, and the large campsites offered space so that you aren’t stacked right next to your neighbor.  We camped in the nonelectric loop (we always bring our solar panel) for 3 nights in mid-February and there were very few campers around, but the neighboring loop with electrical hook-up sites were 3/4 full with large rigs. 

    Hiking, biking, paddling, are all great things to do during your stay. There is also a boat launch within the park in case power boating or fishing is your thing, but kayaks and canoes can easily launch from the lakeside campsites.  It was a bit too chilly to get on the water in February, so we opted for hiking and biking.

    The closest services for gas or a few extra snacks are within 5 minutes of the park.

Guide to McLeansville

McLeansville, North Carolina sits at approximately 663 feet above sea level in the Piedmont region, with mild winters and warm, humid summers typical of central North Carolina. The area experiences average summer temperatures around 87°F and winter lows near 30°F, creating favorable camping conditions for most of the year except during occasional heavy rainfall when some tent sites can become saturated.

What to do

Hiking trails with waterfalls: Hanging Rock State Park Campground offers miles of trails with five different waterfalls to explore. "The trails were very challenging and the views were spectacular. Definitely worth the trip," shares Isaac O. The park's elevation provides panoramic views across multiple counties.

Disc golf courses: Cedarock Park features two complete disc golf courses with a total of 36 holes. "There are two fantastic disc golf courses (I personally enjoy the Wellspring course) and even a historical farm that sheds light on what life was like as a farmer in 19th century North Carolina," notes Kelsey L.

Fishing opportunities: Lake Reidsville Recreation Park provides access to a peaceful lake popular with anglers. The park maintains dedicated fishing areas along the shoreline. "The dock area was a favorite spot of mine — great for fishing, relaxing, or just soaking in the peaceful atmosphere," writes Luis V.

What campers like

Private wooded campsites: Campers at Hagan-Stone Park appreciate the secluded tent sites. "Most of the B sites are in a nice wooded setting. There's plenty of trails to walk during the day. Very quiet even though the sites are pretty close together," shares Morgan A. The park's layout provides a sense of seclusion despite its proximity to urban areas.

Lake views: Oak Hollow City Campground offers tent platforms overlooking the water. "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," notes Larisa C. Some sites include their own small beach area.

Farm animal encounters: Brookhaven Mill Farm provides camping with a unique agricultural setting. "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. Campers can observe sheep and miniature horses on the property.

What you should know

Site unevenness: Several campgrounds have terrain challenges. "Site B20 was reaaally uneven but we made it work for 2 tents! If you tent camp in the B lot, the bathhouse is a bit of a walk," warns Morgan A. about Hagan-Stone Park. At Oak Hollow, "many sites are not level so plan ahead and bring extra levelers."

Traffic noise considerations: Many campgrounds in the region experience highway sounds. "The road noise at night - it was very loud. Next time we will bring something to help quiet the noise," mentions Tara T. about Cedarock Park. Similarly, at Jones Station RV Park, the proximity to Interstate 40 provides easy access but some noise exposure.

Water access logistics: "You have to bring your own firewood or buy it ($5 a bundle) - gathering firewood from the woods is not allowed. Water is shared between sites," notes Morgan A. about Hagan-Stone Park. This water-sharing setup is common at several area campgrounds, so bringing a splitter is recommended.

Tips for camping with families

Multiple playgrounds: Hagan-Stone Park offers several play areas for children. "Great location, many trails to walk, shelters to rent, and you can kayak on the pond. Lots of wildlife," shares Alexia H. The park maintains dedicated playground equipment in multiple locations.

Swimming options: Lake Reidsville Recreation Park provides water recreation for families. "You can rent paddle boats or kayaks or paddle boards. You may fish or ride boats," explains Jack and Lisa L., though they note "you can't swim" in the lake itself. For swimming, Oak Hollow maintains a pool open until 7:00 pm during summer months.

Historical education: Cedarock Park offers a unique historical farm restored to represent life in the late 1800s. "The park is almost 500 acres in size and offers 6 miles of hiking trails, 6 miles of equestrian trails, 2 disc golf courses with a total of 36 holes for play, a historical farm restored to the late 1800s time period, 2 fishing ponds, a picturesque waterfall over an old mill dam," details Kelsey L.

Tips from RVers

Utility connections: Sites at Greensboro KOA provide full hookups though site sizes vary. "The rv sites are all pull thru nearly level, big gravel sites. We had plenty of room for our 45' plus toad. There is a nice large K9 park. Playground. The best WIFI we have experienced and many free antenna tv channels," notes David M.

Site spacing considerations: Campgrounds vary widely in how they position RVs. "We stayed in loop C which is basically an open field. That was fine but the sites are very close together. Also, there is one water connection for each two sites so would advise bringing a splitter," shares Marshall P. about Hagan-Stone Park. In contrast, Jones Station RV Park offers "extra wide and extra long pull thru site. Sites nicely spaced apart similar to state parks."

Length restrictions: Some parks have limitations on larger rigs. At Hagan-Stone Park, "Loop B is heavily wooded with 30amp and water every-other site. You may need as much as 50' water hose. If you're longer than 30' you may find Loop B tough to navigate," warns Rick S. Always verify your RV length can be accommodated before booking.
