Travelers seeking comfortable alternatives to traditional camping can enjoy canvas tent options equipped with proper beds, electricity, and climate control features.

The glamping sites maintain gated security for added peace of mind, while still providing access to hiking opportunities and picnic areas. Pet-friendly policies allow guests to bring their four-legged companions to most accommodations. One reviewer highlighted, "We stayed for 9 nights and really enjoyed it at Oak Hollow. The campground is well maintained and several areas of the campground have beautiful views of the lake."
"Our site had a great view of the beautiful lake. There was a pool our kids could swim in until 7:00pm. They let us borrow a metal fire pit so we could make s’mores."
"This site along with sites 8 and 9 have electric so I was able to run an extension cord into my tent. This site has gorgeous views of the lake and seems to share a grill with #11. "
"Nice place to camp for a few days - we had a campervan and were surrounded by huge, but quiet, RVs."
"We stayed at this rv campground while visiting the many things to see and do in Greensboro North Carolina. visitgreensboronc.com The rv sites are all pull thru nearly level, big gravel sites."
"Trash cans, fire pits, level spots, picnic tables were at every location. Easy access to the water, playgrounds & hiking trails were just moments away from the camper."
"The bathhouse was well kept. The staff had decorations throughout the park for Halloween which is something I dont remember them doing in the past. There is a nice playground for the kids."
from $60 - $75 / night
"This beautiful campground was centrally located within the state park and gave quick access to a wide variety of easy to strenuous hiking trails."
"No water and electric hookups which we sort of prefer as it seems to be less attractive to mega sized RVs with noisy generators."

"I heard mixed reviews about this campground but since I had a 1000 Trails membership, I figured it was worth checking out."
"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."
"Close to Mount Airy. Only one bathroom but it’s clean and has clean showers. No real activities on site."
"Each site has mosaic picnic table and fire pit. All sites are fhu and level. We definitely will be back."
"I would recommend renting the “off road” golf cart for fun. The only negative is the lack of bath houses."
"We had booked a site at a nearby Asheboro campground, but when we arrived it was awful and we decided not to stay. I got on the phone with Jellystone, and they were very accommodating."
"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."
"The location itself is beautiful."

"This campground is very clean and the staff is great. Water park is awesome. Large trail to go for a little walk. Very reasonably priced. Will go again."
"Bath house was clean and the grounds were very well maintained. The pond dam was really close to our site and the rushing water will really lull you to sleep at night."
"Washrooms are at quite a distance from this site so we were glad to be completely self-contained. Accessibility to both beach swimming areas is risky for those needing to use a cane or crutches."
"The lower loop is pretty level, fun to walk and ride bikes around, and the kids love the playground! The bathhouse is always clean and you can't beat the atmosphere around the campground!"

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 .
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.
GuideGreat spot to visit, with pool fishing ect. Very nice people and clean.
GuideWe had a blast here. My kiddo was able to roam freely and safely with other kids. We enjoyed a hike with the dogs, as well as swimming at the beaches.
ScoutThis 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.
ScoutTruly 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.
ScoutBeautiful campground, all sites are paved with designated tent pads,h20,and power 20/30/50 amp. There is plenty to do at park fairy stone hunts, paddling, hiking, beach etc.

Rock climbing adventures: Pilot Mountain State Park Campground is known for its steep cliffs that provide access to climbing routes. "I've been here several times, and it's one of my favorite places for toprope climbing in the area. If you're not a climber, the views are still worth the drive," shares an experienced climber.
Fairy stone hunting: A unique geological activity exists at Fairy Stone State Park Campground. "We learned about the mysterious 'Fairy Stones' and went to the hunt site to see for ourselves. Sure enough - we found several fairy stones and the kids were very happy!" reports a family who enjoyed this distinctive treasure hunt.
Private lake access: Oak Hollow City Campground offers waterfront sites that campers consistently praise. "Our site had a great view of the beautiful lake.

Clean, well-maintained facilities: Campers frequently note the cleanliness of bathhouses. One reviewer at Lake Reidsville Recreation Park mentioned, "Trash cans, fire pits, level spots, picnic tables were at every location. Easy access to the water, playgrounds & hiking trails were just moments away from the camper."
Platform camping sites: Several campgrounds in the area feature unique platform sites. At Oak Hollow, a camper reports, "This was our first time setting up on a platform and it was very easy. Our site had a great view of the beautiful lake."
Yurt accommodations: For those seeking yurt camping near Oak Ridge, North Carolina area, Fairy Stone State Park offers comfortable yurt options. "The Yurt overall was very clean and cozy... They have a nice large deck that is great for hanging out on while the kids were asleep," shares a visitor who enjoyed the mix of comfort and outdoor experience.
Highway noise considerations: Greensboro KOA provides convenience but with a tradeoff. "This campground is only 100 yards from the Interstate! Lots of road noise all night. Very noisy especially in a tent," warns a camper. Some campgrounds provide earplugs at check-in to mitigate this issue.
Site levelness varies significantly: At Fairy Stone State Park, a camper notes, "Most of the sites are not level and it felt very crowded." Another visitor at Oak Hollow warns, "many sites are not level so plan ahead and bring extra levelers."
Reservation requirements: Many campgrounds implement split reservation systems. At Fairy Stone, "About a year ago, this park became half first come first served and half reservation only. Each site has a yellow or red tag on it - the yellow tags have to be reserved by site number."
Limited cell service: Multiple campgrounds report spotty connectivity. A Fairy Stone visitor mentions, "There is no cell service or internet/wifi at the cabins though so come prepared with something to do! We found it to be very relaxing to unplug!"

Educational opportunities: Ranger programs offer learning experiences for children. At Fairy Stone, "The programming was also amazing for our eight and four-year old boys. Ranger Lexie hunted legendary fairystones with our kids and they haven't stopped talking about the magic of the hunt!"
Strategic site selection for families: When choosing a campsite with children, location matters. A camper at Oak Hollow notes, "Loop C was the tent sites - many with interesting platforms that gave us a good view of the lake. This view came at a price though - the sites were just off the road - meaning 4 or 5 feet from the road."
Hookup locations matter: At Oak Hollow, plan for adequate cord length. "I was excited to have a lake view spot with electric but my 25 foot cord was not long enough so make sure you have atleast 50 feet," advises one RVer who encountered challenges with site setup.
Access road conditions: Some campgrounds have challenging approach roads. At Salthouse Branch Campground, a camper warns, "The roads going into the campground is very narrow and steep up and downs. My breaks were gone by the time I got to the entrance."
RV site privacy considerations: Reviews frequently mention site spacing. At Thousand Trails Forest Lake, an RVer notes, "The camping sites are close together, but, that seems standard in these types of campgrounds." This perspective helps set appropriate expectations for privacy.
Extended stays require planning: For longer visits, consider amenity access. A visitor to Mayberry Campground shares, "There's one bathhouse near the main entrance as well as laundry facilities. This is an okay place to stay if you plan on not spending much time in the campground."
