Jordan Lake State Recreation Area campgrounds welcome pets throughout their multiple locations, including Poplar Point and Crosswinds. Campsites at these parks maintain generous spacing between sites, providing privacy for campers with dogs. Leashed pets are permitted at all campsites, though owners should be prepared to keep dogs on restraints no longer than six feet. The heavily wooded forest paradise delivers privacy and solitude for campers and their four-legged companions. Most campgrounds in the region feature standard pet amenities including waste disposal stations and access to hiking trails. Cane Creek Campground and RV Park, Moonshine Creek Campground, and Deep River Campground also accommodate pets with full hookup sites for RVs and designated tent camping areas.
Pet owners camping near Siler City benefit from numerous dog-friendly trails throughout the area, particularly around Jordan Lake where multiple hiking paths provide exercise opportunities for pets. The lake itself offers swimming areas where some campers allow their dogs to cool off, though official dog swimming areas are limited. Cedarock Park provides hike-in tent camping with pets allowed on its six miles of hiking trails. During summer months, campers should monitor pets for overheating, especially when hiking the region's wooded trails. Wildlife encounters are possible, so keeping dogs leashed protects both local fauna and pets. Most campgrounds enforce quiet hours that apply to barking dogs, and campers report that park rangers are helpful with pet-related questions. Veterinary services are available in nearby towns including Apex, Chapel Hill, and Asheboro.

TravelerThis 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!
GuideBeautiful campground, meticulously maintained. Store , restaurant, pool, dog park, kayak on lake,putt putt, cornhole, shuffleboard, horseshoes just to name a few
LegendPoplar Point Campground could quite possibly be the best campground in all of North Carolina! Yes, I know, that’s quite a statement to make, considering all of the amazing places in the great state of North Carolina. So let me explain why I reached this conclusion:
• Some of the most outstanding hiking trails
• Heavily wooded forest paradise that delivers privacy and solitude
• Perfectly maintained amenities such as picnic tables, fold-up fire ring and grills
• Bathroom facilities are some of the best I’ve experienced with state-run facilities
• Direct access to a fantastic lakeside experience, complete with boat launches
• Designated swimming area complete with life vests
• On-site park staff were nothing short of amazing, helpful and incredibly friendly
• Close access to purchase anything that might be needed
Insider’s tip? 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!
Happy Camping!
ScoutThis quiet gem was just what I needed. It’s close enough to shoppes, diners, and other activities. It’s also close to the NC Zoo. With dedicated and mixed spots, it’s perfect for tents and RVs. Did I mention the staff? They’re friendly and helpful.
Zooland is a great place for solo, family, or group. The campground offers a pool, activities, walking trails, as well as laundry facilities and 2 bath houses. There’s also a dog park for your K9 family member(s).
Most sites have water and electrical hook ups. But one word of caution; you may or may not have cell service. But there is wi-fi throughout the property.
LegendI’m not sure if this campground is correctly named Holly Point Campground, which after my experience, I would rename it HOLY Point Campground, as this outdoor nature preserve is truly a slice of heaven carved out in the middle of North Carolina’s finest camping paradise. 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 nice shaded nature, hiking trails and calm peace & quiet that only nature can offer, then make your way here to Holly Point Campground@ Falls Lake SRA, where you will not be disappointed.
All of the basics are provided in spades – from picnic table, fold-up fire ring / BBQ grill, bear-proof garbage hanger and a nice small pebble-strewn flat patch of well-maintained nature that offers pristine shade from an unrelenting bit of summer North Carolina sunshine from the tall matchstick-like long leave needle pines. While there’s not a terrible amount of brush between the campsites, you will have semi-privacy unlike many other nearby campgrounds.
The on-site facilities (bathrooms& showers) 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 Falls Lake itself, where there is a perfectly sectioned off swimming area, 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 handful: (1) While IMHO there is no bad spot here in all of Holly Point Campground, there are obviously some that are better than others. Given this, I would highly rank Loops 4 (#118-119, #121-123) & 5 (#141-147; #149, #150, #152-155) as well as the southern and eastern side of Loop 2 (#36-39; #55-71; #73, #75), given their proximity to and views of Falls Lake itself. Of course, the sites that are located closer to the water are those more preferred; (2) If you're an angler, you'll be looking to catch some large-mouthed bass, yellow perch, blue gill, channel and flathead catfish and I recommend the areas that are heaviest shadowed around the lake edges; (3) When you grow weary of having to fix up that next campsite meal and simply want to error on the side of ease and comfort, then check out nearby Buffalo Bros who serve up some pretty might wings and amazing pies (there's also burgers, sandwiches, wraps, salads and other basic Americana foodstuffs) or Nantucket Grill for some pretty outstanding Jambalaya and seafood diablo pasta; and (4) If you love extreme outdoors adventures, then check out Xtreme Park Adventures for indoor and outdoor courses for paintball and laser tag.
Happy Camping!
LegendThis area is such a short drive from the triangle area of North Carolina, yet this park feels quite remote. Like many state parks, this one excels in the services department.
Bathrooms and showers were clean and comfortable, as were the campsites.
Each camping loop felt tucked away into its own little neighborhood, and the large campsites offered space so that you aren’t stacked right next to your neighbor. We camped in the nonelectric loop (we always bring our solar panel) for 3 nights in mid-February and there were very few campers around, but the neighboring loop with electrical hook-up sites were 3/4 full with large rigs.
Hiking, biking, paddling, are all great things to do during your stay. There is also a boat launch within the park in case power boating or fishing is your thing, but kayaks and canoes can easily launch from the lakeside campsites. It was a bit too chilly to get on the water in February, so we opted for hiking and biking.
The closest services for gas or a few extra snacks are within 5 minutes of the park.
RangerCedarock Park, located in Burlington, North Carolina, is a hidden gem for all sorts of outdoor activities. The park offers hike-in camping with a handful of sites scattered along Rock Creek. The sites are well spaced and can accommodate large groups (you only pay $1 for each additional person for groups larger than 10). The park is also home to 6 miles of hiking trails and 6 miles of equestrian trails. There are two fantastic disc golf courses (I personally enjoy the Wellspring course) and even a historical farm that sheds light on what life was like as a farmer in 19th century North Carolina.
GuideThe North Carolina State Park campgrounds are typically very nice, and this one is no exception. My site is adjacent to a large, clean, working bathhouse and a 2 minute walk from a swim beach.
My cell reception outside the camper is excellent, and of if I had a cell booster it would be adequate for streaming inside the camper. I don’t have one as I depend on Starlink for internet access when traveling. Unfortunately Starlink isn’t going to work in my specific site or in most of the others. This is a wooded campground and all the sites are completely shaded
My site has water and electric. About half of the available RV sites have water and electric, it there is no sewer. There is a dump station in the campground. Unusual for NC State facilities, there are no trash bins placed around the campground, but there is a large dumpster station co-located with the dump station.
It’s about a 15-20 minute drive to shopping, but there are several convenience stores a few minutes away.
The campground is clean and well maintained. It meanders around a very large lake, with several beaches and boat launch areas.
TravelerPoplar Point is located on the banks of the lake in the Jordan Lake State Recreation Area. Jordan Lake State Recreation Area has several campgrounds with plenty of lakeside sites, if you make your reservation early. We happened to camp in Poplar Point during the busiest time Labor Day weekend. Even then it was surprisingly quiet, because campsites are generously separated among the pine forest. And after the weekend we were practically alone. So, If you love to be alone in nature, this is a great place for that experience. We have a video about this campground on our YouTube Summertime RV Rovers channel- 4 Great Campgrounds in North Carolina. We stayed there in our Super C Dynamax DX3. We camped at Poplar Point Campground- Jordan Lake SRA in a Motorhome.

Creek exploration and fishing: Deep River Campground offers creek access ideal for families. A visitor notes, "We explored the creek and walking path. The kids loved the jumping pillow." Fishing opportunities exist at most area campgrounds, with ponds stocked seasonally.
Wildlife observation: Jordan Lake campgrounds offer prime bird watching. "Deer walked right behind our site," reports one camper at Crosswinds Campground. Morning hours provide best wildlife viewing opportunities across all sites.
Water recreation options: Poplar Point Campground features direct lake access. "Amazing spots for RVs on the water! There are TONS of spots that are right on the lake yet have plenty of trees for privacy," writes Andrew S. Boat and jet ski rentals available nearby for day use.
Spacious, wooded sites: Jordan Lake campgrounds feature particularly roomy sites. "This site was very spacious, easy to back into, and level. This was a HUGE site, lots of space between neighbors. We love camping with lots of trees and nature," shares Martha S. about Poplar Point.
Water proximity: Campers consistently praise waterfront sites at Jordan Lake's campgrounds. "We camped with our patio hanging out over the creek. It was fantastic," writes Sam C. about Moonshine Creek Campground. Sites nearest water typically book 3-6 months in advance.
Clean facilities: Several campgrounds maintain exceptionally clean bathhouses. Regarding Moonshine Creek, a camper notes, "The BEST and cleanest bathhouse I've ever seen... Trails dispersed throughout. Some RVers live there long term. Laundry room, small store for immediate camping needs, firewood."
Dog-friendly environment: Many campgrounds welcome pets with dedicated amenities. At Greensboro KOA, "There is a nice large K9 park," mentions David M., making it one of several dog friendly campgrounds near Siler City that provide designated pet areas.
Road noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience highway noise. At Greensboro KOA, "This campground is only 100 yards from the Interstate! Lots of road noise all night. Very noisy especially in a tent," warns Joel R. Request sites furthest from roads when booking.
Seasonal operations: While many campgrounds operate year-round, some close during winter. Crosswinds Campground operates "January 1 to October 2," according to their listing, making advance planning necessary for off-season visits.
Park gate closures: Some parks limit overnight access. "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," cautions Summer C. about Cedarock Park.
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds require advance booking, especially during peak season. Cedarock Park requires reservations with "sites $10/night for groups under 10 people in size and cost an additional $1 for each person over 10."
Multi-activity parks: Zooland Family Campground offers extensive activities beyond hiking. "Plenty 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!" shares Krista H.
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature kid-friendly play areas. At Hagan-Stone Park, "Very nice play grounds. Does cost and long waiting line at pool, but one of the best to just get away and relax," notes Justin S.
Zoo proximity: Asheboro area campgrounds provide convenient access to the NC Zoo. "We stayed only a couple nights while passing by and visiting the zoo. Stayed in the off season and the place seemed really well maintained," writes David W. about Zooland Family Campground.
Kid-oriented programming: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park offers structured activities for children. "Campground has many things to do for the Littles. I would recommend renting the 'off road' golf cart for fun," suggests Rebecca F.
Site leveling preparation: Some campgrounds require additional leveling equipment. At Cane Creek Campground and RV Park, one camper notes, "The sites are spacious and mostly level with electric, water, and sewer hookups." Bring leveling blocks as terrain varies significantly between sites.
Hookup locations: Pay attention to hookup placement when reserving. "The sewer connection was more than 40 feet from the center of the site and I only carry 30 feet of line," warns one camper about Deep River Campground. Bring extension hoses/cords when possible.
Cell reception considerations: Most campgrounds offer varied reception. "Surprisingly good cell reception for being in the mountains and having lots of tree cover. Got 1-3 bars ATT depending on where I was within the campground, and we had no issues using our TMobile hotspot," reports a Moonshine Creek camper.
Full-hookup availability: Several campgrounds offer complete services. "Extremely friendly staff. Site F36 and F40 are situated so the awning side of the camper has a direct, unobstructed view of the water," notes a Poplar Point camper.
