"Site next to one of the lake access trails. Spacious site. We were able to get our 37 ft camper level. Shaded so the a/c s were able to keep up with the heat no issue."
"They have a mini train ride, sprinkler playground, a big regular playground, carousel, panning for gems, paddle boats, nature center, and shelters and picnic areas."
"Very close to my home. I hike in to the remote campsite on the lake. Lots of fishermen and trash since the scum can’t seem to pick up after themselves. The cabins here are also great."
"The regular tent “loop” is just one big open field with few trees around it, so there’s absolutely no privacy. If you end up with someone who want to be rowdy, you are in for a long night."
from $10 - $30 / night
"There aren’t really any extras here but if you’re just looking for reliable water/electrical/sewer and wifi near Charlotte this is a fantastic option."
"Decent campground with a pond for fishing, a swimming pool, and a store."
"We particularly appreciated the intact tree canopy; many rv parks these days are sun baked parking lots but not here."

"We stayed in the new glamping cabin #2. Very clean, comfortable bed, nice AC, lovely porch to relax on. All cabins are in walking distance to the bathrooms and showers."

"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."
"And it you are an off road enthusiast, they have made some fantastic off road trails south of the Forrest."
"It is fairly secluded, so once we got to the campground there weren't a lot of other people around."

GuideDriving 14 1/2 hrs I was cooked called and had the most easiest booking. There was a sites available so I booked it. Needless to say I got there in the dark and a kind person helped me to my site and got me backed in. Soo exhausted I hooked up electric only hit the bed passed out
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 .
RangerWhen I’m traveling through the area, I do my best to stay here. It is a peaceful and well kept campground. It is an adult and a kid friendly environment. It’s one of the few places you can feel safe. I highly recommend this place.
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
Cabin rentals are available within a 35-mile radius of Mount Pleasant, North Carolina, with several state parks and private campgrounds offering rental options.

Most cabins require reservations at least two months in advance during summer and fall, with peak season running April through October.
Hiking and water activities at Morrow Mountain: Morrow Mountain State Park Campground offers extensive hiking including the family-friendly Big Rocks Trail. "We loved our stay! Glad to finally find a nice campground just over an hour away from Charlotte. Easy trek for a short weekend trip. We exhausted ourselves hiking and canoeing and much more stuff to do!" shared a visitor. The park also provides canoe and rowboat rentals seasonally.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Campers frequently spot deer and other wildlife near cabins. As one Morrow Mountain visitor noted, "Saw several deer while I was there. The family campground is separated from the road by some trees but there is still noise from cars, like in any family campground I suppose." The park's diverse ecosystem supports various bird species and small mammals.
Swimming access: Lake Norman State Park Campground offers swimming facilities during summer months. "Friendly host, close to lake and well shaded, clean bathrooms, large enough tent sites, great for families," noted one camper. The swimming beach requires a small fee for access, with wristbands provided to identify paid swimmers.
Quiet, forested settings: Most cabin locations provide wooded sites with partial shade. At Norwood Campground, one visitor appreciated the "spacious lots in a wooded setting" and noted it was a "Great little gem in the area to avoid the chaos and calamity with the other Uwharrie area campgrounds. Very quiet and peaceful."
Modern bathhouse facilities: Lake Norman State Park has updated facilities that guests appreciate. One camper observed, "The bathhouse was new and well maintained. I would recommend this place to anyone." Many cabin areas feature recently renovated bathroom facilities, though availability varies seasonally.
Fishing opportunities: Multiple campgrounds provide lake access for fishing. At Norwood Campground, guests enjoy both the stocked pond and nearby Lake Tillery. One camper shared their experience: "Older campground but full of charm. Lot of hiking paths which our dog loved. Although we did not do much they have a fishing pond, a very nice kids playground. A short hike and you are on Lake Tillery."
Cabin furnishing levels vary significantly: Cabins range from rustic to modern with different amenities. As one Dan Nicholas Park visitor advised, "Definite prepare for limited furnishings in basic cabins. The cabins are nice but sparsely equipped." Bring pillows, bedding, and cooking supplies for all cabin stays.
Reservation requirements: Most cabin locations require advance booking, especially during peak seasons. Reservations for weekend dates should be made 2-3 months in advance from April through October.
Internet and connectivity: Cell service is inconsistent in some areas. A camper at Morrow Mountain noted, "The only drawback was that there was no Wi-Fi." Some private campgrounds offer Wi-Fi near the main office areas but service doesn't typically extend to cabin locations.
Seasonal availability: Some cabins close during winter months. Check operating schedules when planning trips between November and March.
Child-friendly activities: Dan Nicholas Park offers numerous family attractions beyond standard camping. "This place is the best places for families to camp. There is a beautiful zoo, gem mining, a train ride, amazing fishing, a beautiful playground, and a carousel," shared one visitor. Many activities require additional fees ranging from $2-5 per person.
Swimming options: Several campgrounds have swimming facilities that appeal to families with children. Lake Norman's swimming area includes a designated children's section with gradual entry.
Playground access: Multiple cabin locations include playground facilities. One camper at Norwood Campground appreciated that "the owners have done a great job of retaining the 'old school' charm of the place while keeping up with utilities and overall functionality."
Educational opportunities: Some parks offer ranger-led programs during summer months. Nature centers at Dan Nicholas Park and Morrow Mountain provide interactive displays and occasional wildlife demonstrations.
Limited cabin parking: Most cabin areas have restricted parking spaces. Larger vehicles may need to park in overflow areas. Check specific cabin restrictions when booking.
Utility hookup differences: RV sites with cabins offer varying hookup configurations. At Cobble Hill RV Campground (Formerly Carolina Rose), guests appreciate the full hookups. One camper noted, "Full hookups (30 & 50 amp), WiFi and cable. Owners are great - so much so that our entire camping family is going to stay there the week of the wedding."
Accessibility considerations: Some cabin areas have limited accessibility for larger vehicles. At Morrow Mountain, campers advised checking site details carefully, as "Site 98 in the electric loop is for tent and pop up campers, but is not pop up camper friendly. The ground is very uneven."
