4 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several campgrounds near Mocksville, North Carolina provide furnished cabin rentals with varying amenities and comfort levels. Lake Myers RV Resort in Mocksville offers cabin accommodations with electricity and climate control, making them suitable for year-round stays. Thousand Trails Forest Lake in nearby Advance features private cabins positioned near a small lake, with one visitor noting, "The cabins were wonderful and I would highly recommend them... it was one of the nicest cabins out there with more privacy and right next to the lake/pond." Statesville RV Park I-77, located about 25 minutes from Mocksville, provides cozy KOA cabin camping options with basic furnishings including beds and climate control systems.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available throughout the region, with prices and amenities varying by location. The KOA cabins in Statesville feature simple but comfortable sleeping arrangements, as one guest described: "The camping cabins are cozy, we stayed in a single which has 1 double bed and twin sized bunk bed." Most state park cabins require advance reservations, particularly during summer months and weekends. Pet policies differ between locations, with Thousand Trails Forest Lake and several state parks allowing pets in designated pet-friendly cabins. Lake Norman State Park Campground, though slightly farther from Mocksville, offers "beautiful little cabins" according to visitor reviews, with clean facilities and well-maintained grounds.
Most cabin rentals provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations, from basic fire rings with grills to cabins with small refrigerators and microwaves. Visitors should plan to bring cooking utensils, dishware, and food supplies. While some campgrounds have small on-site stores with essentials, the town of Mocksville offers several grocery options within a short drive of most cabin locations. Firewood is typically available for purchase at campground offices or from hosts who make evening rounds, though prices and availability may vary seasonally.
"People and pet friendly. Adult and under 18 pools open seasonably. Gated and campers are given individual codes to get in after hours."
"Game room, store and grill. Spacious and level sites. Hiking trails and lake with small beach for swimming and fishing. Pet + horse friendly. Neatly kept. Kind and helpful host."
"Driving 14 1/2 hrs I was cooked called and had the most easiest booking. There was a sites available so I booked it."
"We played mini golf, had a view of the lake, and enjoyed a great campfire on our little porch they provided. We truly had so much fun even though we only stayed one night! Can’t wait to come back."
"Definitely not the campground to book if you are looking to enjoy the surroundings/scenery as things are very packed in. Close enough to Winston-Salem to do day trips though."
"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."
"We stayed here while visiting friends who lived in the Salisbury area and stayed in Cabin 1. The cabins are REALLY nice, I was very impressed."
"We did some awesome hikes nearby, and also did some biking. The trails were great, as was the weather. NC is such a great state, and I honestly didnt know how much it had to offer outdoors."

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.
TravelerThis is/was marked as dispersed camping but this is primarily an OHV area, with a shooting range nearby that can be heard from some campsites. Most, if not all, of the campsites are intended to be large group sites. The empty site we found was filled with trash, discarded tents, air mattresses, and trashed electronics from OHVs. There's so much trash we would not even be able to take it all out with us if we wanted to. This may be a national forest, but it is not peace and quiet as one would expect from "dispersed and primitive" camping.
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.
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
LegendWe pulled into Lake Norman State Park around 6 PM on New Year’s Eve, mainly because we didn’t want to drive a couple more hours to our original destination. We only planned to stay one night, but the campground surprised us—in the best way—and we ended up staying three nights instead.
There were plenty of available campsites, and every site we saw was at least decently spaced, with several feeling nicely secluded. The campground was quiet and well laid out. The bathhouse was clean and modern, and having water spigots available in the no-hookups loop was a big plus.
One of the highlights was riding our e-bikes on the Hawk, Hicks, Norwood Creek, and Monbo loops. These are the easier sections of the Itusi Trail system and were a lot of fun—though still a bit too unpaved for my wife’s taste😄. Even so, the hiking trail access from the campground made it easy to get out and explore.
This stop wasn’t planned at all, but it turned into one of those stays that makes you glad plans changed. We’ll definitely be coming back to Lake Norman State Park.

Mocksville, North Carolina sits at an elevation of 840 feet in the western Piedmont region, with a moderate climate that makes camping comfortable from early spring through late fall. Seasonal temperature changes affect cabin rental availability, with summer months requiring earlier reservations. The area's mixed hardwood forests provide natural shade for many cabin camping locations.
Hiking trails: 4.3-mile moderate route at Hanging Rock State Park Campground offers variable terrain. "Moore's Wall Loop Trail is a 4.3 mile strenuous hike, and it begins by walking by the lake. There is a platform about halfway through the hike in which you can see the skylines of Greensboro and Winston-Salem."
Wildlife viewing: Year-round opportunities for animal spotting at cabin locations. At Dan Nicholas Park, "Whitetail deer mosey past your site and linger during the evening... Skinks, newts and salamanders populate these wooded lands and scurry about." The park also features "a beautiful zoo" according to visitors.
Water recreation: Multiple options within 30 minutes of Mocksville cabins. "The lake offers fishing, paddle boating and feeding the ducks and it's only a short walk from any campsite," at Dan Nicholas Park, while Lake Norman State Park features swimming beaches that require a small fee for access.
Family activities: Multiple entertainment options at Midway Campground Resort complement cabin stays with "a pond for fishing, a nice pool, a jump pad, playground, arcade, and mini-golf. Plenty for kids to do. The best feature is a haunted trail at Halloween."
Cabin amenities: Varying comfort levels at different properties. At Cobble Hill RV Campground, "The cabins are REALLY nice, I was very impressed. We walked the RV sites and spotted several that were also very nice as well. They each seemed to offer a decent bit of privacy, which is nice."
Morning farm-fresh options: Some cabin rental facilities offer unique breakfast additions. Cobble Hill provides "fresh eggs from the check-in store each morning... And I mean... Fresh Eggs" from chickens on the property. The campground also features "goats and a horse" that live on site.
Reservation timing: Summer weekend cabins fill quickly, especially at state parks. At Lake Norman State Park Campground, even during off-peak times it can be "surprisingly busy, almost all sites occupied" according to campers who visited during Thanksgiving weekend.
Accessibility considerations: Bathhouse facilities vary widely between properties. Some older facilities may have "shower doors are narrow. If you are not a skinny person, you might have trouble squeezing through the shower doors" while newer locations feature more accessible facilities.
Wildlife preparation: Bring appropriate storage for food items when staying in cabins. One camper reported, "We stayed 21 days had a blast" at Lake Myers RV Resort in Mocksville, where deer and small animals are common throughout the wooded camping areas.
Activity planning: Schedule structured recreation for young children. Stone Mountain State Park Campground offers "a 15 minute drive to 3 great wineries" for adults while providing "great hikes and area for the family" with "some great swimming holes" that children enjoy during summer months.
Biking opportunities: Bring children's bicycles to many cabin campgrounds. "We have been here for 2 nights and both nights were very noisy because of two concerts" at Lake Myers, showing how planned activities can either enhance or detract from a family's cabin experience depending on preferences.
Cabin selection: Choose based on privacy needs when traveling with children. "Our two family members reserved two RV sites... it was one of the nicest cabins out there and the whole family hung out with is at our cabin site since it had more privacy." Families report that cabin configurations with bunk beds work best for multiple children.
Short-term vs. extended stays: Consider cabin rentals for variety. One RVer noted Cobble Hill "stayed at Carolina Rose for a few months over the winter. Very friendly staff, and VERY reasonable rates" making it suitable for both overnight and extended cabin camping.
Site selection strategy: Research carefully before booking. "The campground is mostly annual people with permanent lots. We don't mind that at all. Those types always seem to be laid back and quiet. The spots are really close together. And the roads are sooo narrow." Understanding site layout helps select appropriate cabins.
Seasonal camping differences: Winter cabin availability differs from peak season. At Midway Campground Resort, "Unfortunately, a lot of the activity type things (arcade, mini-golf, horseshoes, etc) weren't available because we visited in the off season" despite having "super nice weather" during their winter cabin stay.
