Visitors can enjoy boat access, hiking trails, swimming areas, and wildlife observation opportunities around the lake.

Most locations remain open seasonally from spring through fall, with Jordan Lake operating from January through October, while others like Eno River State Park offer year-round glamping opportunities with comfortable accommodations and modern amenities.

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
GuideThe sites are very large, long and wider at the back, plenty of room for a big group or family. The bathrooms look new and they are clean. Here during the week so it's very empty and quiet.
LegendSometimes you pull into a campground expecting little more than a comfortable place to sleep and discover the kids have already made tomorrow’s plans before you’ve even finished setting up, and Fayetteville RV Resort & Cottages was that kind of happy surprise for our family. Tucked into the countryside of Wade just minutes from I-95, this beautifully maintained resort combines spacious, mostly shaded RV sites (including enormous pull-throughs accommodating big rigs) with cottages and enough green space that it feels remarkably removed from the highway. Families are especially spoiled here with two swimming pools, mini golf, a playground, walking path, fitness center, clubhouse, clean restrooms and showers, laundry facilities and dog parks, while full-hookup sites with 30/50-amp service make Mom and Dad’s life considerably easier too. One of my favorite memories was watching the boys bounce between swimming and miniature golf until that wonderful end-of-the-day exhaustion finally set in, leaving us to enjoy a quieter evening together back at the campsite. Some campgrounds are where you sleep between adventures - this is one where convincing the kids to actually leave becomes the adventure. With the resort offering numerous long pull-through and back-in sites rather than one clearly superior campsite, I’d choose one of the more shaded sites away from the busiest activity areas if your family values a quieter evening. We would enthusiastically recommend Fayetteville RV Resort for families because it’s exceptionally clean, wonderfully convenient and packed with enough kid-friendly recreation to turn what could easily have been an I-95 pit stop into a genuine family camping getaway.
TravelerWe visited Crosswinds campground at Jordan Lake State Park on the worst heatwave of the year. The great thing about this area is that the sites a well shaded. We were about 50 yards from the lake, with the wind blowing we still were comfortable all day. We stayed on Loop A, which is my favorite loop at the park. There’s no electricity or water at the sites. There are water spickets throughout the loop with potable water. The site is awesome! There’s a small pond beside it. The neighboring sites are close, but regular conversations can not be heard.this loop is always quiet even when there are a lot of people, but it’s never been full when I’m there. I didn’t do good with photos except for the food.
ScoutDecent campground in a beautiful location along Lake Jordan. Crosswinds Campground is one of several sites on the lake. We chose this location since the gates stay open all the time, while other sites have a curfew that can lock you out for the night.
The staff are super friendly and helpful. There’s apparently a camp host whom we never met and they’re on the site next to ours (not sure if they’re supposed to greet us or help us get acquainted with the site, but the staff member at check in was great and did all that when we arrived).
Loop C is quiet, very few children, and less road noise compared to the other loops, but doesn’t have the same access to the lake.
Site C50 is conveniently located close to the bath house, has a large fire pit with adjustable grill, picnic table, and hookups for water and electricity. We’re in a tent, so really just use the electricity. The picnic table here should be replaced, as the wood seems to be rotting, but still does the job. There are a few sites in loop C that do have direct access to the lake, but those tend to be booked all of the time. We explored one last night and couldn’t believe it was vacant and how much nicer it seemed.
Bathrooms are not as clean as I would like, but I bring disinfectant wipes to wipe the toilet before use. Showers are fine, but use an annoying motion sensor to turn the water on/off. Showering at night is annoying with the bugs because the bathhouse is lit like a beacon (probably for safety). Waiting for the daytime is a better experience. Also, there isn’t a washing station for dishes, and we do that at our site.
Firewood can be purchased by the staff at the campground entrance; however, the exact same firewood is almost $4 fewer at a Refuel station down the street. Definitely stop into that gas station store for things you might need.
Overall, really good experience staying here, some annoying things, but won’t ruin your stay.
TravelerFirst time to Loop C and we loved it. There are some great sites here, they are big and most are decently spaced. It rained heavily while there, some sites will hold water, but I didn’t see any fully submerged. There’s no electrical hook ups, there are a few potable water spickets throughout the loop. The bathroom was very clean.
TravelerIt’s not scenic or particularly private, but it’s clean, well designed, and pumping out shore power to combat the Iowa humidity
TravelerEasy back in camp sites some have a bit of steep up hill to the flat space the area is hilly I was only her 2 nights so I didn’t really have much time to explore I came here to visit my Uncle and I needed a place to park his home area is to small.

Hiking trails at Raven Rock: Access multiple trail options at Moccasin Branch Campground ranging from short walks to longer treks along the Cape Fear River. "We hiked in from the parking lot to one of the canoe in sites on the river. I loved all the trails, mainly the one that goes from the campsite I was on to the river where there is natural waterslide," writes Sarah L.
Swimming in natural settings: Cool off in the river at Raven Rock State Park during summer months. "Great place to hike, fish, and camp with the family," notes Charles W. Another visitor recommends: "The trails are nice and short, not too much room for extra exploration. Best advice is there are some big rocks in the river at various locations that you can lay on and take a nap. Super comfy and the water is also pretty shallow."
Camping near fishing spots: Set up at Crosswinds Campground for easy fishing access. "Great Campsites, nice wooded sites and close to lake access. Great hiking trails and very family friendly. Deer walked right behind our site. Boat ramp in campground," reports Wendy M. Sites with water views allow you to keep boats nearby. "Some sites offer a tie-off of your boat adjacent to your campsite."
Privacy between sites: Eno River State Park Campground offers well-spaced primitive sites. "The primitive sites are spaces far enough apart that it truly feels like solitude. Piper Creek is our favorite. Flat and easy 1.2 mile hike in along the river," notes Sarah W. The natural setting maintains a wilderness feel while still being accessible.
Clean facilities: Many visitors appreciate the maintenance standards at campgrounds in the region. "Very Clean Bathroom! Beautiful Pools for the public," writes Nikki A. about Deep River Campground. Even the more rustic locations maintain good standards, with one reviewer noting: "The bathhouse for this area has two toilets and two showers. Each is completely private. There is also a very nice sink and counter on the end for dishwashing."
Level campsites: Well-maintained sites at Jordan Lake make setup easier. "We enjoyed this campsite. It was clean, quiet and very close to the boat ramp! We had a great time and will definitely be back!" reports Jessie N. Another camper notes: "The camping sites are spacious and most are level."
Seasonal availability: Most campgrounds in the area operate on limited schedules. Crosswinds Campground at Jordan Lake is open January through October, while others have different timeframes. Some visitors note specific restrictions: "This campground is pretty great except for two things. There is no septic on your site, and they lock the gate after a certain hour. If you need something or arrive after hours you are out of luck."
Varying noise levels: Proximity to highways affects some locations. At Greensboro KOA, visitors report: "As previously mentioned, serves its purpose for an overnight. Right off the highway, and by that I mean you see, and HEAR the traffic. The billboard in front of the trailer is an interesting touch. Nothing ear plugs and a long day can't fix." Rural sites offer more tranquility.
Hiking accessibility: Trails near campgrounds vary in difficulty. At Eno River State Park, one visitor explains: "The trails I took before and also this time are easy to moderate. The Cole Mill and Bobbitt Hole trails are connected, and I took both. The Bobbitt Hole trail takes you to a bend in the Eno River where some people go in to cool off."
Playground access: Choose B.W. Wells Campground for kid-friendly amenities. "Loved that there was a playground near the site. The site itself was gravelly and not super private but it was great- the hikes around were stunning," explains Amanda L. Many campgrounds feature play areas within walking distance of campsites.
Educational opportunities: Look for parks with nature programs. "We loved the educational experiences at this park. Very knowledgeable and clean," shares Elizabeth V. about Eno River State Park. Rangers often conduct programs about local wildlife and ecosystems during summer months.
Entertainment options: For maximum family activities, consider Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in nearby Asheboro. "This is a great family campground. They have activities all day for the kids and family. They are still under construction but you can't tell. Very spacious with plenty of activities and room for kids," writes Josh Q. Another camper adds: "Amenities available were: General Store, Pool, Gaga Ball, Bouncing Pillow, Bath House by the pool, fishing pond, laser tag, and a bunch of activities."
Hookup locations: Check site details before booking. "This was our very first full-time RV park. We loved being in the park and it easily accommodated our 39ft. Class A. Back-in site but with plenty of room to do so. Each site has water and electric hook-up. Sewer however is a dump station," notes Paul H. about Crosswinds Campground.
Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds require extra equipment. "Took some time leveling my rig, but turned out great," writes Robert N. about Jellystone Park. Bring additional leveling blocks as terrain can be uneven at several locations.
Access for larger vehicles: Most parks accommodate big rigs, but turning radius varies. "The rv sites are all pull thru nearly level, big gravel sites. We had plenty of room for our 45' plus toad," reports David M. Always verify maximum length restrictions when booking.
