Best RV Parks & Resorts near Mocksville, NC

Part of the Thousand Trails System. 2 swimming pools, camp store, snack bar, fishing pond (I cought 2 sunfishes in 30 min & I’m no fisherman) basketball court, mini golf, & playground equipment. Multiple bathrooms with showers - nothing fancy, but, adequate. The camping sites are close together, but, that seems standard in these types of campgrounds. People seems friendly and the staff were professional. Store has snacks, some camping stuff, & fishing bait. Snack bar has fast food & video games. Lodge has TV & pool table (we did not try either) but nice amenity for rainy days. It seems like most campers (at least half) had golf carts. This was our 1st stop on a coast to coast adventure with a 5 year old & 2 large dogs. This is mostly a RV park & not a wilderness experience - but as far as RV parks go - I was very happy with the experience.

We were hesitant based on the reviews of “steep grade” but found this entirely manageable (24’ motor home RV). The grade is 7% and is managed through a long gentle slope in/out. The only time I’d be concerned about the entrance would be in a driving rain. Beyond that there is a central area of RV spots with nice distance between them. There are some trees but mostly around the perimeter. We were just overnight, so did not acquaint ourselves with the amenities. I would echo there are no bath houses. Friendly manager and friendly campers, most of whom appear to be permanent. They have only a small number of available slots and she would not allow me to reserve the day before — I had to call the day of to see if they still had an opening, which added to our trip insecurity. They did not take cards, we paid cash. They are in the middle of expanding with a set of new RV spaces ‘up the hill’. This was more of a grade than the entrance, but quite manageable. The long spot (# 33) was pull-through, very level, gravel, with all hookups. One RV pad per terrace. Close enough we could talk with our near neighbor but had loads of privacy. Up that high on the hill we heard a whisper of Interstate noise but that did not detract from the whip-or-will song at dusk. Overall a very nice RV park, one we would definitely stay at again.

We stayed in section B of the Oak Hollow Campground. It was simply a large gravel parking lot for RVs/campers. We had full hook ups and paid$45 a night for our campsite. This was the worst physical campsite we have ever had… We stepped out of our camper and if we didn’t immediately turn we would hit our head on our neighbors slide out. There was not even enough room to set up a lawn chair between our camper and the camper next to us. The hook ups were lined up at the back of the parking spot for our camper which means we had to use a ton of extensions for our water, sewage, and power. There were not any trails at the park to walk our dogs but there was plenty of grass. The staff was very nice and the campground was gated. The laundry unit was a single washer and dryer outside of each of the shower/bathroom spots and were already closed at the end of November. They had two bathroom/shower houses. The campsite featured likely over 100 camper/rv spots so two bathroom/shower houses and 2 laundry machines would not be enough. If we were not seeing family in the area, we would not have stayed here. Campsite sections A and C seem to be much more spread out, if you’re wanting to be in this area. The campsite is in High Point and is near all the amenities that you would need.

We made a mistake. My wife and I are moving to North Carolina, and we were looking for a place to stay for a month in the Asheboro area. I checked around and Deep River was the only local campground with long-term sites available, so I made the reservation. The owner, Scott, was very helpful throughout the reservation process and we thought we were going to have a good experience. 

When we showed up, Scott met us at the office and he took us to the "most level site" he had available. I was a little concerned from the start because the sewer pipe was sitting at a 45 degree angle and it was half buried in the ground. I had to help dig out the pipe and when I looked inside I noticed the connection was broken and any drainage would  have leached directly into the ground. Additionally, the sewer connection was more than 40 feet from the center of the site and I only carry 30 feet of line, so we had to back way up in order to hook-up. Unfortunately, that meant that our primary slide was within 3 feet of a giant pine tree so there was barely enough room to open it. Another problem with being so far back in the site was how unlevel the camper was. It took a while for me to get the trailer unhitched and by the time I had it nearly level, I had used all of my blocks and the jack was extended to the maximum height. Needless to say, I did not feel very comfortable with the arrangement and I was really starting to question whether or not to stay. 

Then I started looking around at the site and there was trash everywhere with broken pieces of metal and half chewed dog bones strewn about. I looked at my wife and I could tell she was not happy. So I got on my phone, called another campground and made reservations. Scott was understanding, he tried to talk us into trying another site but by that time we had decided to move on. I will give Scott credit, he didn't charge us a cancellation fee, so that was good.

A quick note, the WiFi was limited to close to the office and we would have had to pay Spectrum for a monthly internet connection. Also, Verizon cell coverage was weak.

We camped here one night. Family owned. Very very nice people. This is an older campground that needs repair. Mostly long term campers. Convenient to falls. At one time this was probably a very popular place, but pool and water slide have been closed for years. Sites were small and quite muddy.

We stayed here a week and we were the only ones at the full hook up sites the whole time.

Great stay. Minutes from the zoo. We did a three day weekend here, with a day at the zoo, and the rest of the time playing at the campground.

3 kids all loved it.

Sites were gravel, not all level, but not too bad. Full hook-ups, picnic table and fire pit. Extremely friendly staff.

Moved here in November with the intentions of staying long term. Which we told to 2 different employees. One when we made the reservation and another one just days before our arrival when she called to ask us how long we would be staying. The manager didn't ask my husband how long we would be staying at check-in. In January we were told the rate for our cramped site was going up to$850 a month. And in 2 months we would have to pay the daily rate which comes to$1350. I was told by the manager that they needed the sites for traveling nurses who are essential workers. Didn't matter that my husband is a truck driver and also an essential worker during this pandemic. We would not moved here if we had been given the correct information. But I am pretty sure that we weren't told that it wasn't a long term campground because they had a lot of empty spots in November. I think they neglected to tell us so they could fill a spot and make money. Or else all of the staff is incompetent. If you plan on staying be aware that they charge 17 cents kwh for site 29. According to the helpful woman at Duke Energy, the site next to us was paying just over 9 cents a kwh. Our site and some of the others weren't showing up on their list. Internet was mostly good. Water pressure was horrible in the mornings when there were a lot of people there. The noise from the interstate is constant and loud. The dryers are kind of ineffective. Site was uneven, muddy and the RV next door was angled very close to ours. RV vehicle across the road nearly hit ours every time he backed out. The manager was snippy and rude sometimes when you go to get the mail. One day you can come in and get it and then next day you are reprimanded for opening the door. Which has a sign that says to come on in. Best to find somewhere else to stay. Unless tight quarters, rudeness and noise are your thing.

We have been happy members of Thousand Trails for several years and have created several friend groups of whom I hope would verify my claim as accurate. My husband, Paul(OP), has always had the heart of a servant and has helped many throughout Lake Myers and Forest Lake. He enjoys playing cork hole and building campfires. We have so many wonderful friends at the campgrounds that we hang out with even when we don’t have our camper in. It has always been a source of stress relief and relaxation for us. We have never been ones to instigate gossip or spread it. We sit quietly to ourselves or with friends, play corn hole and enjoy the fire, food& friendships. Our dog LOVES to exercise on the golf cart trails! Last YEAR, one of the teen boys that lives in the campground full time came to our site and invited our 16 y/o(at the time) son to join him and a gang of other kids that found a villa unlocked. The private investigator we hired found out that the number of kids involved goes into the double digits. We advised Susan, the manager, of the identity of as many involved as we could. Our son was not involved in the actual damage and nothing further was said to us by Susan or any other representative of Lake Myers, Thousand Trails or Encore. Charges were attempted against our son alone, but when our attorney advised that all kids involved or none(some parents had already paid restitution… I offered but was not responded to) were to be charged then charges were dropped. We have been camping every 2 weeks in and one week out at Forest Lake with no problems at all until recently when my husband couldn’t get logged into our account to make his payment. I tried as well and couldn’t get logged in. Turns out that our entire national membership has been canceled by the Lake Myers manager with the reasoning of“unsupervised child”. That is totally falsified. How many of you see Mon or Dad following their older kids around? Our son had never cause any trouble. Funny, the kid that lives there who coaxed our son to the villas still lives there on site because his mom works for a prominent attorney that I guess Lake Myers is afraid of.(Well, mine is good too!) Ban our son from Lake Myers? Fine… but ban all the ones involved, don’t do it out of retaliation against us because you lack evidence. Want to ban our whole innocent family from Lake Myers? Fine… but ban all the families of those involved. If your going to accept money of one mom to let her stay because she works for an attorney, then the offer needs to be given to all. But why cancel our whole family national membership? THAT is excessive and we will be filing a lawsuit if it’s not fixed asap. We just bought a brand spanking new camper, new golf cart, paid membership fees(I want refunded if our membership is not going to be honored due to a dishonorable and unethical manager with no factual evidence and can apparently be paid off). Seriously! Existing campers can’t complain publicly about anything at the campground without the fear of their memberships being terminated for it. This is morally wrong. I have contacted membership services just to be told they can’t do anything. I call BS. This needs a fair resolution immediately.

Took a weekend trip to Deep River Campground in Asheboro, NC. Very well kept, level spots, pet friendly, big rig friendly with pull through and back-in sites available. Full hook-ups (50 & 30 amp). Fire pit and picnic tables at each site. About $40 a night, no deposit required. With weekly and monthly rates as well. 2 pools (currently closed due to covid), game room, store, and private pond. Located minutes away from multiple trail heads. We were on lot 20, which is a double space designed for a larger rig, very private with lots of shade.

This park,to be honest when we first arrived, made us ask:"Is this IT??" Our first impressions were that it was a parking lot.  we even looked for the rest of the campground.  It's 10 spots, full hook-up, with an awesome view of Pilot Mountain. Each pad is concrete, with a picnic table, fire pit and full hook-ups. But after we set up, and caught out breath, we realized that this park is EXACTLY what we wanted. The main feature is the view, and what a view it has! This is more for a mature crowd, as there's really nothing here for kids to do (no playground or pool) which for us was nice. It was good to have a campfire and sit and watch the sun set. The other campers were very friendly, but you can tell when talking to the owners, that this is a labor of love and hope! In the morning, getting up early to watch the sunrise light up the mountain like a candle really set the tone for a beautiful day. Next time I want to have time to hike the mountain, but for this trip, just relaxing and watching nature was worth every breath.

We stayed at the Stone Mountain campground 5 nights/6 days, and enjoyed every minute of it. There aren’t many trees between the RV/full hook up sites, but they’re far enough apart that you don’t feel like you’re on top of your neighbor. There is a gorgeous little creek that runs through the middle of the full hook up sites, which made it even more peaceful sitting around the fire at night, and our daughter loved exploring it during the day. The bathhouse was a ways away from our site (53), so we typically rode a bike or drove the truck. This could be problematic for someone with limited mobility, or small children that can’t hold it very long. But it wasn’t really an issue for us. The bathhouse was usually spotless, well stocked with toilet paper, well heated, and not very busy at all. The showers will get pretty warm, which surprised me, and the pressure is pretty good as well. However, you have to push the button down every 10-15 seconds, and the stall is pretty small. They are sufficient for washing off the sweat and dirt from spending a day hiking though. We did a lot of hiking, which is the reason we went. There are a wide assortment of trails, from easy and moderate, all the way to strenuous and advanced. All of them are equally gorgeous, but I highly recommend the loop trail, which takes you by the Stone Mountain falls, then around the base and over the summit of Stone Mountain, and by the Hutchinson homestead. You can also branch off that trail and go to the middle and lower falls, which were also absolutely gorgeous. The summit climb by the Hutchinson homestead is pretty strenuous, but very much worth the views. I’d really recommend taking a blanket and snacks, and resting on the top for a little breather and to take in all that surrounds you. The creek throughout the park is delayed harvest trout waters, which is great for people that enjoy fishing. The creeks are incredibly clear, and so serene. The park doesn’t allow campers to bring in, or harvest their own fire wood, but they do sell bundles at the check in station for $5. The staff was helpful and nice, and the park is very quiet, clean, and family friendly. Keep your eyes open, we saw wild turkey and deer in abundance.

Be prepared to truly rough it if you camp here. No electrical or sewer hook ups for rvs. Perfect for traveling campers that are packing light and have minimal needs.
