1 campground with availability this weekend
Cedarock Park in Burlington accommodates horses with 6 miles of equestrian trails winding through its 500-acre grounds. The park requires riders to bring their own water and feed for horses, as no dedicated horse facilities exist on the campground property. Trailer parking is available in designated areas near the equestrian trail entrance. The trail system connects to primitive tent camping areas, though equestrians must secure their horses at their individual campsites as no dedicated corrals or tie-outs are provided. Campground staff enforce strict manure management rules requiring campers to pack out all horse waste. Sites cost $10 for groups under 10 people with a small additional fee for larger groups. The campground serves as a good staging area for day rides but lacks specialized equestrian camping amenities.
Located 35 minutes southwest of Reidsville, Fairy Stone State Park offers additional options for horse enthusiasts with an equestrian camp located just outside the park gates. Riders access 6 miles of bridle paths directly from the campground area. The trails traverse moderate terrain through wooded areas with water access points along the route. Horse owners should note that while trailer parking is available, the facility does not provide feed storage or tack lockers. Trail conditions vary seasonally, particularly after heavy rain when some lower sections become muddy. Advance reservations are required for the equestrian campsites, which fill quickly during peak spring and fall riding seasons. The combination of well-maintained trails and proximity to additional recreational amenities makes this location popular among regional horse camping groups despite its basic horse facilities.

- 6 miles of hiking trails
- 6 miles of equestrian trails
- 2 disc golf courses with a total of 36 holes for play

"Our site (17) was on the opposite side of the real lake access and right across from the annual spots so we never really had too much privacy but most of the neighbors were very curteous and friendly."
"Located close to nothing else, this campground was so peaceful at night. During the day, it’s beautiful. It’s got showers with hot water and accessible facilities. Great camping!"
"The Yurt we stayed in was a little weird because the Fire Pit and Picnic table is behind and almost under the yurt, down a decently step slope and the yurt sits on stilts on the back side."
"The red tags can be walk up sites. We met Ron, the camp host immediately. He was making his way around campsites in his golf cart - as friendly as can be! "

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.
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.
ScoutNo permanent sites so it's clean with no clutter, host greeted upon arrival, lots of access to hike/bike trails, near park with ponds, pool, ball courts. Several sites including mine very hard to level
GuideThis is an excellent place to stay. It’s very clean, lots to do, beautiful view of lake. Great hiking trails.
ScoutPlenty of places to tent camp or RV camp! Places to fish things for kids to play on and of course places to shower after! One of my family’s favorite places to camp!
TravelerThe campground is very cramped and the owner is very unfriendly and was unwilling to work with me after I asked not to park my fifth wheel under a hickory tree that was rubbing the top of my recently recoated roof. She refused. Roughly 7weeks into my 13 week stay a large storm rolled through and a hickory nut busted the top of my ac unit on my roof and the nut broke the blades of my fan off. She refused to acknowledge the damage. I tried to compromise with taking the price of the service of the monthly payment. The owner refused then stated she was going to need the next month payment or she would have my fifth towed. She is very unreasonable and very rude
ScoutArrived late. Camp host was outside waiting for our arrival. Escorted to the camp site. zFHU and level. Nice roomy campground. Warm clean shower house. Nearly tame deer all over the place.
TravelerNice quiet campground in a large park. Deer roam theoughout the park and campground. Clean bath/shower. Easy check in with multiple host on site. All sites paved.
GuideThe park is so beautiful. The sites are a little rough but easy to level your rig. The park has great trails around it, they can be pretty challenging when it comes to elevation gain. The lake is wonderful. They were updating cabins when we were there last, they look great. The showers were clean and the bathroom was the same. The host was a nice gentleman. No Verizon service or WiFi. We go here to get away.

The fairy stone hunting area is located just outside the park entrance near a gas station.
Disc golf courses: Cedarock Park features two complete disc golf courses with 36 total holes.

The courses wind through wooded areas and open fields, providing varied terrain for different skill levels.
Water activities: Cane Creek Campground offers swimming and fishing in their lake. "Beautiful little park nestled into the woods! The 40s sites seem to be the best spots to get for a view or access to Lake activities," writes Mandy L. Boat rentals cost $5-10 per hour depending on watercraft type.
Historical attractions: Cedarock Park provides access to a preserved 19th-century farm. "The park is also home to a historical farm that sheds light on what life was like as a farmer in 19th century North Carolina," explains Kelsey L.

Equestrian facilities: Horse boarding options around Reidsville include the equestrian camp at Fairy Stone State Park. "There is an equestrian camp just outside the park gates," mentions Kirsten J., who appreciated the dedicated facilities for riders. The camp connects directly to bridle paths.
Wildlife viewing: Many campgrounds report abundant deer sightings. "Deer roam throughout the park and campground," notes Brandon about Tanglewood Park. Morning and evening hours offer the best wildlife viewing opportunities, particularly near water sources.
Gate closures: Some parks lock entrance gates after hours. "The downside is they lock the gate at night and no one else is there so if you have an emergency or just need to leave you can't, you're literally stuck," warns Summer C. about Cedarock Park. Check specific gate hours when making reservations.
Cell service limitations: Tanglewood Park and other area campgrounds have spotty coverage. "Wi-fi present but not strong enough for any streaming," reports Kristy Gary B. Most campgrounds recommend downloading maps and information before arrival.
Leveling challenges: Many campsites require significant leveling equipment. "Sites are long and wide but some have quite a slope to them," notes Kristy Gary B. about Tanglewood Park. "We had to lower ours by over 4" and still weren't level, but couldn't adjust anymore," adds Tiffany D.
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature play areas for children. "The park has great trails around it, they can be pretty challenging when it comes to elevation gain. The lake is wonderful," writes Keith F. about Fairy Stone State Park, highlighting family-friendly amenities.

Noise considerations: Some sites experience road noise. "The only downside is the road noise at night - it was very loud. Next time we will bring something to help quiet the noise," advises Tara T. about Cedarock Park. Sites further from main roads provide quieter overnight conditions.
Hookup availability: Cane Creek Campground and RV Park offers full connections. "Located close to nothing else, this campground was so peaceful at night. During the day, it's beautiful.
