Best Campgrounds near Germanton, NC

597 Reviews

North Carolina's Piedmont region surrounding Germanton features several state park campgrounds and private camping areas within a 30-mile radius. Hanging Rock State Park Campground, located about 15 miles northeast of Germanton, offers tent sites, RV hookups, and cabins with access to hiking trails and waterfalls. Pilot Mountain State Park Campground, situated 20 miles west, provides similar accommodations with electric hookups and fire rings. Private facilities like Jomeokee Campground and Greystone RV Park cater to various camping styles from tent camping to full-hookup RV sites with more amenities.

Seasonal considerations affect campground availability throughout the area, with several facilities operating only during warmer months. Pilot Mountain State Park's camping season runs from mid-March through November, while Tanglewood Park welcomes campers from May through mid-November. Most private campgrounds remain open year-round, offering more consistent access. Reservations are recommended for all developed campgrounds, especially during summer weekends and holidays. The terrain ranges from relatively flat sites at valley-based campgrounds to more challenging sloped areas in the state parks. "Most of the trails are not flat trails. Trails either go up or down... but each offer spectacular destinations and views," noted one visitor to Hanging Rock State Park.

Campers consistently praise the spaciousness of sites at Hanging Rock State Park, with reviews highlighting the privacy between campsites and proximity to hiking trails. "The sites are bigger than you would expect from a typical state park campground. The bathrooms and showers are clean and nice," according to feedback on The Dyrt. Pilot Mountain provides excellent views and access to rock climbing areas, making it popular with outdoor enthusiasts. Private campgrounds in the area offer varying levels of amenities, with some providing full hookups, well-maintained shower facilities, and proximity to local attractions. Several reviews mention the peaceful setting at Jomeokee Campground with its views of Pilot Mountain and spacious grounds. Visitors should note that some campgrounds have limited shade, which can be challenging during hot summer months.

    Greensboro KOA

    Noisy- Ok for one night

    This campground is only 100 yards from the Interstate! Lots of road noise all night. Very noisy especially in a tent. The sites are large enough for most RVs. Adequate space between sites, and some grass. There are a few trees around the campground but not in the RV sites. Full hookups (30/50 amp) Pool, playground and camp store with basics. Shower and bathroom were clean.

    Fancy Gap-Blue Ridge Parkway KOA

    Awesome KOA!

    My family and I stayed here for a few days. The campground is beautiful. All of the staff members that we encountered were super friendly. We ordered campground room service from Daves Smokehouse which was excellent and arrived very quickly. The campground is very well maintained and clean. The wifi was great at our site. AT&T cell service was not so good though. This KOA is very close to Blue Ridge Parkway, Fancy Gap Pottery & Fabric Outlet , as well as the Fancy Gap Old Country store. Our stay was very peaceful and relaxing, If we go back to the area we will definitely stay here again.

    Creekside Camping

    Beautiful sites

    Huge sites by the water (creek), power and water. Fire wood at each site. There are fire pits, barbecue grills, 2 sites have picnic tables, and one site has a wooden swing near the creek. The ground is uneven, so we had to move around a bit to get level. The sites do not have concrete or gravel pads. You park in the grass. Pick your spot, and you might need a long power cord. The bath house is up the hill (a bit of a climb), traditional toilet and sink inside, the shower is outside. Open air shower. Very quiet here, only a few cars pass by on the small road up the hill. We have a 14ft. teardrop camper and use an AWD vehicle. Not sure what the largest size camper would make it back here. The road is very narrow and you’re parking on the grass. There is also a small laundry building up the hill.

    Cobble Hill RV Campground (Formerly) Carolina Rose

    good stop & stay

    campground being remodeled so bathhouses were a little walk away but not too inconvenient. pool was also closed for now BUT overall cute location. did park on site 59 (pull through) but was SUPER unlevel. cute pond and amphitheater too! has laundry as well.

    coolest part about this spot is that it’s about a 10 min drive into Catawba college town which was a super nice area for us being younger. perfect mix of Boulder & Philly :)

    hosts were SUPER friendly and nice :)

    Love Valley Campground

    Clean

    Probably the second cleanest campground I had ever been to

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Asheboro

    Great stay

    Campground has many things to do for the Littles. I would recommend renting the “off road” golf cart for fun. The only negative is the lack of bath houses. Although we have a full bathroom in our camper we typically use the showers at the campgrounds. There were only 2 bathhouses in the campground. Our site was well shaded and enough space between the sites.

    Tanglewood Park

    Shaded and clean

    No 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

    Brookhaven Mill Farm

    Quaint Site with Goats!

    I only needed to stay at this site for a few hours with my dog for dinner and a quick nap before heading on my way! The grass was a little overgrown which was just a little itchy but otherwise it was an amazing site, with a well maintained porta potty and cute animals on site!

    Rocky Knob Campground — Blue Ridge Parkway

    Quiet, nice, but no showers, very basic

    Minimalist facilities. Good location. Has rv and tent sites. Right off blue Ridge Parkway.

    Overall ok if you need a crash pad, but I would not seek it out
