Best Glamping near Rougemont, NC

187 Reviews

Falls Lake State Recreation Area houses upscale glamping accommodations within easy reach of Rougemont, providing a blend of outdoor adventure and comfort. The property features glamping yurts and safari-style canvas tents at both Rolling View and B.W. Wells campgrounds, all equipped with electricity, comfortable bedding, and climate control options. Nearby, Jordan Lake State Recreation Area's Crosswinds Campground offers similar luxury tent accommodations with private decks overlooking the water. These sites provide a significant upgrade from traditional camping with plush mattresses, quality linens, and stylish furnishings. Most units include private fire rings and picnic tables, allowing guests to enjoy outdoor cooking while maintaining comfort. Additional amenities include electric hookups, potable water access, and proximity to modern shower facilities. According to a visitor, "The glamping sites are well spaced far enough apart that it truly feels like solitude, yet close enough to modern facilities."

Water-based activities dominate the recreational options at these glamping destinations, with both Falls Lake and Jordan Lake offering swimming beaches, boat rentals, and excellent fishing opportunities. The Mountains to Sea Trail connects with Falls Lake, providing extensive hiking options through scenic woodland terrain and along shorelines. Bird watching is particularly rewarding, with numerous species visible from private decks or along designated nature trails. Several glamping sites offer direct water access, allowing guests to launch kayaks or canoes directly from their accommodation area. One reviewer highlighted, "Connect with the Mountains to Sea trail for a great hike! Sites are large, with convenient access to water to put the kayak or canoe in straight from your site." Most glamping locations remain open year-round, though peak season runs April through October when water temperatures are most comfortable for swimming and paddling.

    Kimball Point Campground — Kerr Lake State Recreation Area

    Beautiful lake but tight tent sites

    Tent sites are a bit confusing as some share the same car access but split into two lower.

    Some of the lots are marked as tent OR RV which I guess they are but we would probably not boondock here again as it isn't flat but the RV sites look amazing.

    Bathrooms: 5/5 clean & air-conditioning in all of them.

    Sites: 3/5 just average/fine

    Pools: 0/5 no pool

    Beach: 3/5 private beach but not upkept. Loads of rock/Carolina clay/trash sea grass

    Waterfrontness: 5/5 weird water but pretty to look at

    Closeness to other sites: 1/5 you are up each other's buttcracks

    Dog rating: 4/5 no problem but also SO dog friendly we had to be very mindful of others not having their dogs on leash.

    Bullocksville Campground — Kerr Lake State Recreation Area

    Camping Oasis with Fantastic Lake Views!

    Tucked away in the lush, verdant forests north of Raleigh, here at Bullocksville Park, you’ll discover camping and cabin grounds that are just a short hike from the nearby Lake Kerr, but far enough away from any roadside noisy traffic. 

    This is a complete natural respite that is incredibly quiet(save the roar of noise from nature!). The grounds themselves are laid out superbly, from 3-4 independent campground sites(in fact, some are across the road from whence you arrived) with blended options for both RV’s and real campers who use tents. 

    There are a number of amenities and diversions, such as boat ramps for motored-boats, kayaking, canoeing, as well as playgrounds for the kiddos, a big gathering hall that can be rented, several picnic areas and shelters along with countless hiking trails. For anyone visiting North Carolina or for nearby residents who just want to get away from the concrete jungle, then Bullocksville Park is definitely worth a look. 

    I will end on this point - I have not come across any such amazing camping gem in all of North Carolina than this splendid campground at Bullocksville.  You'll be lucky (and hopefully very grateful) for getting a piece of land here in front of this gorgeous lake if you book well in advance.

    Happy Camping!

    Staunton River State Park Campground

    Great activities/family friendly camping

    We camped here again at Staunton River State Park, this time we stayed in site 21, which is an electric site near the bathrooms/showers and one of the best for viewing stars. There is little tree cover and a sort of field behind the campsite where you can set up your telescope and see the stars really well. We were also able to rent one of the telescopes they have at the Visitors center (for free!) and use it throughout the stay.

    We came the weekend after the fourth of July which was hot but surprisingly not too crowded. We participated in some of the parks' programs this time around and it made it such a great experience, especially for the kids. They had smores around the fire on a Friday night, where they handed out smores ingredients around a big campfire near the visitors center and you could chat with other campers. It was so nice! Then they had a outdoor movie afterwards. The next day we went to a "feed the animals" program, where the kids got to meet and help feed all the animals in the visitors center and learn more about them. There were turtles, snakes, fish! The kids loved it! We did the Junior Ranger hike and the kids all got badges. Hopefully the pool will be open next summer because it was so hot and that would have been awesome! But there is another Virginia State Park nearby, Occoneechee, that has a splash pad that we went to. Such a fun time!

    Lake Reidsville Recreation Park

    Amazing Place

    All of the sites were amazing. 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.

    B.W. Wells — Falls Lake State Recreation Area

    Family Friendly Campground

    B.W. Wells Campground at Falls Lake felt like stepping into a quiet forest hideaway, where the kids could explore trails, spot eagles over the water, and watch butterflies while we enjoyed campfires under the trees. It’s strictly hike-in and tent-only, so we had to pack light and plan carefully, but the trade-off was true peace and space to connect without the noise of RVs or busy roads. With shaded group sites, fire pits, picnic tables, nearby restrooms, and lake access perfect for paddling or fishing, it offered a rustic yet rewarding experience that was still close enough to Wake Forest for a quick meal or supply run when we needed it.

    Eno River State Park Campground

    So green! Gorgeous River!

    This is one of my favorite camping spots in the North Carolina triangle area.  There is a tremendous amount of hiking and trails to do around here.  The Eno River is more than safe to swim or paddle in.  Dogs are welcome here! If you can camp close to the river, I recommend, it's great to fall asleep to the sounds of the river.  Bring bug spray!

    Crosswinds Campground — Jordan Lake State Recreation Area

    Lake Jordan Campground Bliss

    Located just 30 miles west of Raleigh, Jordan Lake provides 7 different access points throughout this amazing natural preserve.  And while I’m not a kitesurfer or windsurfer, I’m positive that this campground was named for the pretty amazing headwinds that are enjoyed coming off Falls Lake, which Crosswinds Campground @ Jordan Lake SRA sits on. Take my word for it though, this outdoor nature preserve is truly a slice of heaven carved out in some of North Carolina’s finest camping countryside. If you find yourself in the hustle and bustle of nearby Raleigh and looking to get away from the crowds and pavement in exchange for some nicely shaded nature, hiking trails and humble peace & quiet that only God's green nature can offer, then make your way here to Crosswinds Campground, where this heavily wooded forest paradise will embrace you with its inclines, switchbacks and snakelike, swerving road circuits. 

    All of the basics are provided in spades – from picnic table, fold-up fire ring / BBQ grill, bear-proof garbage hanger and a nice pebble-strewn and long-leaf pine shadowed patch of well-maintained nature that offers pristine shade from an unrelenting bit of summer Tar Heel sunshine. While there’s a suitable amount of brush between campsites, surprisingly, it’s the steep inclines and declines between each site that makes one feel that they are truly in the center of their own private wilderness. The on-site bathroom & shower facilities are just slightly north of passable and only a smidge better than you’d expect from a state-run campground, and so this campground gets its only mediocre marks on this front. But that said, there’s plenty of hiking trails to explore and the on-site rangers are incredibly helpful and positive folks that want to ensure you have a great time, but the best amenity on this property is the access to Lake Jordan itself, where there is a perfectly sectioned off swimming area – complete with life safety vests resting on hooks near the shore - as well as boat launching areas for those that want to fish or simply drop a kayak or canoe in the water and take enjoy a lakeside cruise. 

    Insider’s tips? Here's a bundle: (1) Be sure to get down to the lake from wherever your campsite is just after sunset and bring a couple of folding chairs and a telescope (pre-planning here is needed!) to catch a glimpse of one of the most amazing star-studded night skies you’ve ever seen in your life!; (2) While IMHO there are no bad sites per se here, certainly there are some that are better than others, amongst which, I would highly recommend those that are closer to the tree fall lines as well as those that place you closest to either lakeside or lake view.  With 3 loops to choose from (A, B & C), I recommend the following sites: Loop A - #18-19; #21-22; and #44-47; Loop B - #33, #36, #37, #39, #40,#43; Loop C - #19, #21, #23, #24, #26, #32, #34, #36, #40, #42; (3) If you have a boat, you may want to consider calling ahead of time, while you are reserving your campsite and reserve a boat slip - we just thought that they would be readily available, but as it turns out, there's quite a few daytime boaters that don't camp here and are simply looking for a slip to occupy for the day, so plan ahead!; (4) SUPER INSIDER SECRET: there's a little pathway next to site #32 that will lead you to a hidden beachhead where all the cool kids hang out and party; (5) The showers are pretty annoying in that they are regulated by body movement - so as a hack, we applied duct tape and VOILA! the hot water stayed on the whole time! (but remove when you are done or the water won't stop running!); and (6) When you grow tired or anxious after digging through what remains of your Cordova cooler and / or want to sample some local fare, be prepared to drive a short distance (20 minutes or so) back to Apex, where I would recommend The Peak on Salem that serves up some pretty mean Caribbean conch & shrimp fritters as well as some very nice seafood entrees like NC clam bucatini or sweet tea ginger whiskey braised beef short rib.

    Happy Camping!

    Kimball Point Campground — Kerr Lake State Recreation Area

    Wow

    I’ll be honest. I didn’t know places could be this awesome. We are beginning campers and this was beyond our expectation. The views are incredible. (Be sure to watch the sunset. We went in the fall and I’ve never seen colors so bright.) Most sites are waterfront with the possibility of a beach or at least a bulkhead with water views. Picnic tables and great fire pits at each site. Showers/bathrooms are not the closest to sites but if you don’t mind a walk they are not a problem. There are port o johns in one location also. So many water access points for fishing or entering the water for swimming or kayaking. Boat ramp on location at Kimball Point. Beautiful walking areas but no hiking or long trails. Pavilion area and open lake sitting areas were available. Our site had 50/30/20 amp and I’m assuming most do as well. The website didn’t say that and I see this app has 30 only. Pets were permitted. Park ranger drove around often. The most amazing Dollar General ever was about 10 minutes away if you need a quick trip. Everything from tents to giant fifth wheels were there so it’s a great place no matter what you have.

    Rolling View — Falls Lake State Recreation Area

    Best family Camping in my opinion in the area

    I love camping here with the family. Plenty of drive up campgrounds close enough together that you can camp with plenty of sites close enough together that you can have lots of people camping together but still remaining a comfortable distance apart. They also have nice bathing facilities for those who dont want to rough it.

Guide to Rougemont

Rougemont sits at the northern edge of the North Carolina Piedmont region, where the terrain begins transitioning to the foothills. Several state recreation areas near Rougemont offer primitive tent camping options with access to the region's extensive lake system. Most campsites open from March through November with temperatures averaging 50-85°F during these months.

What to do

Stargazing opportunities: At Occoneechee State Park, visitors can view the night sky in optimal conditions. "The park has been recognized as International Dark Sky and there are two telescopes that can be checked out for free at the visitor's center," notes a camper who stayed at Occoneechee State Park.

Disc golf courses: Lake Reidsville Recreation Park offers a dedicated disc golf course among its outdoor activities. "Kayak rental, disc golf course, playground, picnic area and nature trail," mentions a reviewer who enjoyed the Lake Reidsville Recreation Park facilities.

Fishing from shore: Multiple access points at Bullocksville Park provide easy fishing opportunities without needing a boat. "Great tent campsite close to water and boat launch on Kerr Lake. The shower rooms are very clean," reports a visitor to Bullocksville Park.

Bird watching trails: The forests surrounding Eno River State Park host numerous bird species visible from dedicated nature paths. "We hike and swim Eno nearly weekly and are so thankful this resource is so close to us! We also backpack into the primitive sites frequently. We love the trails," explains one regular camper.

What campers like

Private waterfront sites: Kimball Point Campground features numerous sites directly on the water's edge. "Sites are spaced out comfortably with gravel sites and the standard fire pit/grill, table and light hook. Be warned that the sites vary pretty widely in size and grade," advises a camper at Kimball Point Campground.

Clean facilities: The bathroom facilities at B.W. Wells receive consistent positive reviews for maintenance. "The bathhouses weren't quite warm enough for showers in November temps, when we tented. January was just as cold, but we rented a camper," explains a winter visitor to B.W. Wells Campground.

Primitive camping options: Eno River State Park offers more secluded primitive sites requiring a hike in. "Piper Creek is our favorite. Flat and easy 1.2 mile hike in along the river," shares one camper about the park's backpacking options.

Winter camping: Several campgrounds around Rougemont remain open year-round for off-season experiences. "Spent 2 nights out there last weekend. Had a great time. Nice moderate hike to the site. Chilly weekend so it was just me out there at night! Loved it!!" reports a winter camper at Eno River.

What you should know

Reservation timing: Kimball Point sites fill quickly, especially waterfront locations. "Only negative it's hard to book a space. You need to book it EXACTLY 6 months out, call at 08:00 in morning," advises a regular at Kimball Point Campground.
