Tent and RV camping options near Moravian Falls offer outdoor experiences from creekside retreats to vineyard settings. Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this area sits at elevations ranging from 1,200 to 1,800 feet with summer highs averaging in the mid-80s and winter lows near freezing. Cell service can be spotty in mountain valleys where many campsites are located.
What to do

What you should know
Limited tent camping: Many rv campgrounds near Moravian Falls are primarily designed for RVs with limited tent options. "This is basically a trailer park. Packed, old, nasty. I cannot even understand how it can really be categorized as a campground," reported one dissatisfied guest about certain facilities.
Weather considerations: Higher elevation campgrounds offer cooler temperatures during summer. "This campground is high in elevation so it's cooler than the surrounding areas," noted a camper at Doughton Park.
Site privacy varies: Some campgrounds offer more secluded sites than others. "Sites 1 and 2 are close to the parkway. The rest of the sites are set far enough back that, maybe motorcycles can be heard," mentioned a camper describing site spacing at Doughton Park.
Tips for camping with families
Activity options: Evaluate age-appropriate activities before booking. "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 play ground and game room for older kids but nothing for the smaller children to do," one family noted about Lake Myers RV Resort.
Swimming facilities: Thousand Trails Forest Lake offers multiple pools for different age groups. "There is a putt putt course, pool, adults only pool and lounge, family lounge with small arcade games, pool table, and other games," states a review from Thousand Trails Forest Lake.
Playground access: Look for campgrounds with recently updated playground equipment. "New playground for the kids! Remodeled bath houses make it the nicest campground on the river," mentioned a visitor about River Country Campground's facilities.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling: Check site specifications before booking larger RVs. "This is a decent family-friendly campground but is quite difficult to navigate the roads and sites if you have a larger rig," noted one RVer about Lake Myers.
Road conditions: Mountain access requires careful driving consideration. "And the roads are sooo narrow," mentioned an RVer staying at Lake Myers with a 33-foot travel trailer.
Internet access: Connectivity varies dramatically between rv campgrounds in Moravian Falls, North Carolina. "Verizon service has 2 bars. Occasionally got a little spotty while working, but our hotspot worked enough. Streaming did get dicey," reported one camper about their connectivity.
