    Fairy Stone State Park Campground offers CCC-built cabins with fireplaces, full kitchens with refrigerators, stoves, microwaves, and toasters. These heated and air-conditioned accommodations include private bathrooms with showers. Hanging Rock State Park provides similar cabin options with varying sleeping arrangements. "The cabin was so cozy and comfortable! We loved having the fireplace," noted one visitor about Fairy Stone's accommodations. Haw River State Park Cabins feature electric hookups, water connections, and sewer hookups, making them suitable for longer stays.

    Most cabins require advance reservations, particularly during peak summer months. Thousand Trails Forest Lake offers year-round cabin rentals with full hookups and amenities like fire rings and picnic tables. Dan Nicholas Park and Greensboro KOA provide pet-friendly cabin options for travelers with animals. Cabins at Salem Breeze RV Park offer more basic accommodations with limited amenities but include trash service and water hookups. A camper wrote, "The cabins have a nice large deck that is great for hanging out while the kids were asleep."

    Bed linens, pillows, and personal items are typically not provided at most campground cabins. Visitors should bring their own towels, toiletries, cooking utensils, and food supplies. Some locations like Greensboro KOA have on-site markets for basic provisions, while others require guests to shop before arrival. Many cabins include outdoor fire rings and picnic tables for cooking and dining. Fairy Stone and Hanging Rock cabins offer more complete kitchens with cookware, though specific supplies vary by location. Firewood can be purchased at several parks, including Dan Nicholas Park and Hanging Rock State Park, where bundles cost approximately $5.

      Deep River Campground And RV Park

      Stopped 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 .

      Deep River Campground And RV Park

      New Owners, making lots of noticeable changes for your enjoyable stay

      Looking 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

      High Rock Lake Marina and Campground

      Like watching water boil

      Was 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.

      Indian Heritage RV Park

      Perfect Everything!

      It’s not too often you get amazing hospitality anywhere these days, BUT THIS PLACE HAS IT! From the phone call to the arrival, the Indian Heritage RV Park is impressive. The park has level gravel sites, both pull-thru’s and back-ins, and they vary from fully- to partially-shaded to full sun. Solid-connecting WiFi is available with speeds to easily watch a movie. There’s even a trash can at each site. But wait, there’s more. If you’ve been on the road way too long and crave personal bathroom space, check out their bathhouse—individual rooms make it feel like you’re at a resort…plenty of space and super clean and inviting! The laundry room offers two washers, dryers, folding tables, and a hanging rack (bring your own hangers); again, super clean. This park is located on the Smith River and I highly recommend getting a lakeside spot if one’s available…spectacular view if you have a back porch on your rig! Jody was our host and makes you feel like you’re part of the family. The owner (sorry I forgot his name) is also very friendly. Restaurants are a few blocks down the street but you wouldn’t know it unless you took a short walk…that’s how tucked away this place is. Definitely staying here again the next time I travel Hwy 58!

      Fairy Stone State Park Campground

      Nice new sites

      This is a nice little place with level sites and easy shower/restroom access. I thought it was a little pricey and we had to drive to the lake, but it's a nice place to paddle board or kayak because they don't allow motor boats. They have a nice beach that our kid liked. You also have to the fairy stone hunting ground - we didn't find any. But there's a cool hiking trail with a couple of abandoned mine entrances.

      Willville Motorcycle Camp

      Best motorcycle campground in the area!

      Truly a gem of a place if your on two wheels. The sites are perfect for tents and plenty of trees if hammocks are more your thing. The amenities are clean and work well. No complaints about anything other than not having a fireplace at your site, but there is a big community firepit.

    Guide to Oak Ridge

    Cabin camping near Oak Ridge, North Carolina offers year-round access to the rolling Piedmont region where elevations range from 600-900 feet. The area experiences four distinct seasons with relatively mild winters and warm, humid summers. Cabin facilities vary significantly in size and amenities, with many properties undergoing recent renovations to improve comfort while maintaining rustic charm.

    What to do

    Hiking the interconnected trails: At Hanging Rock State Park Campground, visitors can explore numerous trails with varying difficulty levels. "There are a lot of reasons to love Hanging Rock State Park. That's why it is probably my favorite state park in North Carolina... There are lots of trails to explore, but they are not just trails to nowhere. There are five waterfalls to see, a climbing access area, Cook's Wall, and much more," explains reviewer Myron C.

    Fishing in stocked ponds: Thousand Trails Forest Lake provides fishing opportunities right on the property. "I caught 2 sunfishes in 30 min & I'm no fisherman," mentions Joel M. The campground maintains a well-stocked fishing pond where campers can try their luck without traveling offsite.

    Discovering unique local geology: Take a short drive to Stuart, Virginia to hunt for distinctive cross-shaped minerals. "We hunted and found fairy stones which made the trip that much more fun," shares Bridget H. about her experience at Fairy Stone State Park Campground. The unique geological formations are located at a designated hunting site near the park.

    What campers like

    Private outdoor spaces: Cabin sites often include dedicated outdoor areas. "The cabins have a nice large deck that is great for hanging out while the kids were asleep," notes one camper at Salem Breeze RV Park. These spacious decks provide additional living space beyond the cabin interior.

    Convenient location: Many campers appreciate the accessibility of Greensboro KOA for overnight stays. "Easy on-Easy off access to several major highways which is exactly what a KOA Journey describes!! Just perfect for us," writes Wendy S. The location allows quick access to urban amenities while maintaining a camping atmosphere.

    Lake access: Several cabin properties feature water recreation. "The lake has a swimming beach with mountains in the background, and there are also rowboats and canoes for rent," explains Myron C. about Hanging Rock State Park. Most lakes in the region offer swimming from late May through early September.

    What you should know

    Site variations: Cabin sites differ substantially between properties. "The tent pads are elevated 3-4 inches, outlined by horizontal timbers and backfilled with fine pea gravel and sand," describes Dave V. about tent sites at Hanging Rock, while cabins feature more substantial foundations.

    Reservation requirements: Booking policies vary widely. "Staying in one of the cabins at this KOA in Greensboro requires a minimum two-night stay, and they run about $100 a night," notes Myron C. Most properties require reservations weeks in advance during peak season.

    Limited connectivity: Cell service and internet access are inconsistent throughout the region. "There is no cell service or internet/wifi at the cabins though so come prepared with something to do!" advises Katie M. about her stay at Dan Nicholas Park. Some campgrounds offer limited WiFi near office buildings only.

    Tips for camping with families

    Youth activities: Many campgrounds organize regular activities for younger visitors. "There were activities planned to include an outdoor movie (with free popcorn), arts & crafts for the kids, candy bar bingo, and a DJ," shares Brooke S. about her family's experience at Thousand Trails Forest Lake.

    Playground access: Dedicated play areas provide entertainment for children. "This is a great campground for families! Fun lake to swim at during the summer and easy hikes to beautiful waterfalls. One of the best campgrounds in NC!" says Ryan N. about Hanging Rock State Park Campground.

    Park amenities: Some properties offer extensive recreational facilities beyond camping. "The park has more to do other than the campground it is a wonderful place if you have young kids," notes Eddie B. about Dan Nicholas Park, which includes a zoo, gem mining, a train ride, and carousel for children.

    Tips from RVers

    Leveling challenges: Some sites require significant effort to level recreational vehicles. "The gravel sites are wide enough but ours was way off from level," explains Kelly N. about her stay at Greensboro KOA. Bringing extra leveling blocks is recommended for most sites in the region.

    Hookup placement: The location of utility connections varies between sites. "I didn't like the way they had the waste lines set up, and I kept smelling raw sewage," reports Julie L. from her experience at Thousand Trails Forest Lake. Bringing extension hoses for water and sewer connections is advisable.

    Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some properties. "This campground is only 100 yards from the Interstate! Lots of road noise all night. Very noisy especially in a tent," cautions Joel R. about Greensboro KOA. Cabins provide better sound insulation than tents at locations near major roadways.
