The rolling countryside surrounding Mocksville, North Carolina features a mix of private RV resorts and established campgrounds within a 30-minute drive. Lake Myers RV Resort, located directly in Mocksville, provides seasonal camping from April through November with full hookup sites for RVs, cabin rentals, and tent camping areas. Within the broader region, Thousand Trails Forest Lake in Advance and Tanglewood Park in Clemmons offer year-round camping options with varying amenities. Most campgrounds in this area cater primarily to RV travelers, with spacious sites that accommodate larger rigs, though tent camping is available at select locations.
Reservations are strongly recommended for all campgrounds in the Mocksville area, particularly during summer weekends and holiday periods. The camping season peaks from May through September when temperatures are warmest, though several facilities remain open year-round. Cell service varies by location but is generally reliable throughout the region, with Verizon providing the most consistent coverage. As one camper noted about Lake Myers RV Resort: "The campground is mostly annual people with permanent lots. The spots are really close together and the roads are narrow. Verizon service has 2 bars, occasionally got spotty while working, but our hotspot worked enough."
Many campgrounds near Mocksville feature recreational amenities like fishing ponds, swimming areas, and dog parks. The proximity to Winston-Salem (approximately 20 miles northeast) provides convenient access to urban amenities while maintaining a rural camping experience. Visitors report that off-season camping offers a quieter experience with fewer crowds. Summer humidity and insects can be challenging, particularly in July and August. Campers seeking more natural settings might consider venturing slightly farther to Lake Norman State Park (about 30 miles southwest), which offers more spacious sites and water recreation opportunities. Site leveling can be an issue at some private campgrounds, with several reviews mentioning the need for additional blocks or leveling equipment.

ScoutThe spots are alright but first night got ate up by ants so hadda move and the other spots are good but have no shade and no signal and not mutch to take pictures of so if you wanna have some survival type camping this is a great location.
LegendThis campground is essentially an expansive gravel parking lot made for RVs. While that may not sound appealing to some, race fans will love it because it is so close to all the racing action of the Charlotte Motor Speedway. We camped in the M section which is near the main road. There is a bit of road noise but it didn’t bother us because our RV has good sound protection and the road was quiet at night. We don’t like being right on top of other campers and since most people don’t want to be near the road, this worked in our favor. If you have Good Sam, there is a discount which is a pretty good deal for 50 amps, full hook-up site. Despite our site being close to the office, the wifi never worked well and we gave up opting for our Verizon hotspot. There is no cable but our over-the-air antenna worked well (35+ channels) and you would not have any trouble getting satellite reception. There are no trees for shade and we were glad the highs were only in the 70’s when we were there. The large sized gravel is nice to keep the dust down and not make this nasty when it rains but don’t even think about going barefoot on it. Even our dog was apprehensive and tender footed when she walked across it. There is not much for kids to do here– just a small playground. The laundry is located at the office but the only bathhouse is far away from the front of the campground. If you need the bathhouse you are going to want to be in the P, Q, or R sections of else you will have to walk pretty far. Garbage is picked up at your site but when we were there, it often sat for a day or two. The campground was probably only at ¼ capacity and the one dumpster was overflowing. Can’t imagine what they do during busy racing weekends. There is a free food pantry so if you have any canned goods or other items you want to share. For race fans, this is a great campground because you are within walking distance of the Carolina Motor Speedway and the associated dirt track and drag racing track. For $30 you can take a tour of all the race facilities and I highly recommend it.
ScoutThis is a beautiful park but be aware there is only ONE toilet for a loop of at least 23 tent sites!!! If it's a busy weekend, you'll be miserable.
TravelerThis quiet gem was just what I needed. It’s close enough to shoppes, diners, and other activities. It’s also close to the NC Zoo. With dedicated and mixed spots, it’s perfect for tents and RVs. Did I mention the staff? They’re friendly and helpful.
Zooland is a great place for solo, family, or group. The campground offers a pool, activities, walking trails, as well as laundry facilities and 2 bath houses. There’s also a dog park for your K9 family member(s).
Most sites have water and electrical hook ups. But one word of caution; you may or may not have cell service. But there is wi-fi throughout the property.
TravelerI don't know much about the location other than i worked as a sub-contractor for Direct TV and had to service someone at the place and it was really pretty and everyone was super nice was 4th of July and they do a fireworks show of their own. It has been hard to find since but wanted to make sure it got the attention it deserves. it may be more of a vacation rent the lots by the season I'm not 100% sure.
TravelerI don’t have any complaints about this campground! Sites are nice and feel like you aren’t close to anyone else. Very pretty area, quiet. Newest bathhouse I have ever seen at a state park! Awesome showers.
ScoutIs a very basic campground they are having allot of plumbing issues. no activities for the kids no hot tub, store, restaurant or music on weekends anymore
TravelerVery nice Good flat spots Quiet Showers Beautiful views Lots of squirrels Love it
ScoutWe reserved the site via The Dyrt months in advance. We arrived and found that the host wasn't at home and the one site they had was occupied by an obviously long term tenant. The host's phone went immediately to voicemail and texts were unanswered. We were able to scramble and find a site at another site several miles away. Not the way we wanted to start our trip. We will be expecting a full refund after this fiasco. Lesson learned - contact the host before you leave home.

Fishing opportunities: Lake Norman State Park offers multiple fishing spots along its shoreline with catches including bass, crappie, and bream. "I enjoyed sitting near the pond and just watching the ducks swim. The best part was getting fresh eggs from the check-in store each morning... And I mean... Fresh Eggs. Really cool place," notes one visitor to Carolina Rose Campground.
Hiking and biking trails: Several campgrounds maintain trail systems ranging from easy to moderate difficulty. "There is a putt putt course, pool, adults only pool and lounge, family lounge with small arcade games, pool table, and other games... There are miles and miles of trails in the woods, along the river bank, and along the lake," writes a camper at Thousand Trails Forest Lake.
Swimming pools and water recreation: During summer months, most campgrounds operate swimming pools as a primary attraction. At Midway Campground Resort, visitors appreciate the "Beautiful pool with bounce house and playground. Concrete pads. Quiet at night. Great for relaxation."
Year-round accessibility: Unlike seasonal facilities, several campgrounds remain open throughout winter. "Stayed at Carolina Rose for a few months over the winter. Very friendly staff, and VERY reasonable rates. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again when I'm in the area," reports one long-term visitor.
Wildlife viewing: The region supports diverse wildlife viewable from campsites. "Deer roam throughout the park and campground. Clean bath/shower. Easy check in with multiple host on site. All sites paved," writes a camper at Tanglewood Park.
Family-oriented activities: Organized events create social opportunities at many campgrounds. "We were only there Fri-Sun but there were activities planned to include an outdoor movie (with free popcorn), arts & crafts for the kids, candy bar bingo, and a DJ," notes a visitor at Forest Lake.
Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds in the region have uneven terrain requiring additional equipment. "Sites are not necessarily level and big rigs might have a hard time navigating the campground, but folks are friendly and it's a nice place to spend a few days," warns a reviewer at Midway Campground Resort.
Campground renovations: Several facilities are undergoing improvements, affecting availability. "Campground being remodeled so bathhouses were a little walk away but not too inconvenient. Pool was also closed for now BUT overall cute location," reports a recent visitor to Carolina Rose Campground.
Off-season limitations: Amenities may be reduced outside peak seasons. "Unfortunately a lot of the activity type things (arcade, mini-golf, horseshoes, etc.) weren't available because we visited in the off season. Bummer but to be expected even though we had super nice weather," notes a camper at Lake Myers RV Resort.
Children's entertainment options: The area offers numerous kid-focused attractions. "This campground has so many things to do at a reasonable price. Definitely bring the kids," suggests a visitor to Midway Campground Resort, while another notes their "jump pad, playground, arcade, and mini-golf. Plenty for kids to do."
Dan Nicholas Park amenities: This county park provides exceptional family value. "We fished, rode bikes, hiked and saw plenty of wildlife. Not too close to the neighbors, and the camp hosts were nice," writes a camper at Lake Norman State Park, while another mentions that "it was surprisingly busy, almost all sites occupied... A lot of young families were here with their bikes."
Age-appropriate facilities: Consider age when selecting a campsite near Mocksville. "There was not much at all for them to do other than play in the pool, which was a tad bit dirty. BUT there were storms that weekend so I don't think that was their fault. There is a playground and game room for older kids but nothing for the smaller children to do," notes a family at Lake Myers RV Resort.
Site selection strategy: Choose locations based on specific needs. "Easy access right off 85, but far enough it's quiet. Nice really long pull through sites, place is well maintained and lots to offer, whether passing through or wanting to explore the area," recommends a visitor to Cross Winds Family Campground.
Hookup variations: Check what utilities are available before booking. "Full hookups (30 & 50 amp), WiFi and cable. Owners have been very accommodating with putting us all together," notes a visitor organizing a group stay at Carolina Rose Campground.
Road condition awareness: Internal campground roads vary significantly in quality. "The sites are crammed together and not leveled well. Their attempt to level the sites caused huge bumps and I bottomed out trying to leave," cautions an RV camper at Statesville RV Park I-77.
