Cane Creek Campground and RV Park features spacious sites for pet owners along with clean bathrooms and full hookups for RVs. Pets are welcome throughout the campground with typical leash requirements, though specific designated pet areas aren't mentioned in campground information. The facility maintains several playground areas for children while providing ample shade at most sites, particularly in the 40s section which offers better lake views and access. Campers note the peaceful wooded setting creates a natural environment for walking dogs. Both Cedarock Park and Hagan-Stone Park also accommodate pets with accessible camping options and hiking trails. The campgrounds offer picnic tables and fire rings, with most maintaining clean facilities despite occasional issues with spiders in the bathrooms.
Brookhaven Mill Farm provides a unique pet-friendly camping experience where campers can set up near sheep and miniature horses. The farm environment offers a peaceful setting for pets and their owners with sites available along the river or closer to farm animals. Cedarock Park's hiking trails span 6 miles with additional equestrian paths, making it suitable for active dogs needing exercise. Most campgrounds in the area have standard amenities including fire pits and picnic tables, though amenities vary with Cedarock Park offering more primitive camping without hookups or showers. The park gates lock at night which can be problematic in emergencies. Road noise might disturb some campers and their pets at certain sites, so selecting locations deeper in the parks is advisable for noise-sensitive dogs.
"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."

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!
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!
TravelerThis 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!
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.
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.
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.
TravelerThis area was one of my favorite ares for dispersed camping in Uwharrie National Forest while living in North Carolina. The area can be accessed by boat on the Little River, or by hiking in. Me and my friends would always float our kayaks down the river to a place we called "Bird Dog" and camp for the night. If you are looking for a place that has very little traffic, this is the place you want to go! This area would be limited to dispersed camping due to no campsites. It is a National Forest so be mindful of rules and regulations while visiting!

There is a boat ramp where PEKIN ROAD crosses the Little River. PLEASANT GROVE CHURCH ROAD pretty much cuts right through the area on the PDF.
Camping options near Snow Camp, North Carolina range from basic tent sites to full-hookup RV parks within the rolling Piedmont landscape. Most campgrounds in the area sit at elevations between 500-700 feet, creating moderate temperatures with summer highs averaging 85-90°F and winter lows rarely dropping below freezing. The region receives about 45 inches of annual rainfall, with slightly higher precipitation during summer months when thunderstorms are common.
Paddling opportunities: 3.5 miles of lake access at Jordan Lake State Recreation Area offers multiple water activities. "We loved being able to just chill in the lake away from it all. Loved being able to beat the heat," notes Joanna R. The recreation area includes designated swimming areas and boat rentals within 30 minutes of Snow Camp.
Hiking trails: 12 miles of combined paths between hiking and equestrian routes at Cedarock Park provide options for all skill levels. "The park is almost 500 acres in size and offers 6 miles of hiking trails and 6 miles of equestrian trails," explains Kelsey L. The park features creek-side trails with minimal elevation changes, making them suitable for beginners.
Disc golf: 36 holes across two courses available at Cedarock Park with no additional fees beyond camping costs. The Wellspring course receives particular praise from regular players. Most holes feature natural obstacles and varied terrain requiring strategic play rather than pure distance throws.
Spacious waterfront sites: prime locations with direct access to the water at Poplar Point Campground. "Sites F36 and F40 are situated so the awning side of the camper has a direct, unobstructed view of the water," reports Stuart O. The campground's rolling terrain creates natural separation between sites.
Quiet atmosphere: limited road noise at certain campgrounds despite proximity to highways. "Located close to nothing else, this campground was so peaceful at night. During the day, it's beautiful," says Dimitry A. about Cane Creek Campground and RV Park. Sites in the 40s section typically offer the most peaceful settings.
Wildlife viewing: deer and smaller animals frequently spotted along trails and near camping areas. "Deer walked right behind our site," mentions Wendy M. about Crosswinds Campground. Morning and evening hours provide the best wildlife viewing opportunities, particularly near water sources.
Gate closures: park access restrictions at night in several locations. "The campsites are alright minus the hike but 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. Always check specific closing times before booking.
Variable site levelness: bring leveling blocks for RVs and trailers. "The gravel sites are wide enough but ours was way off from level," notes Kelly N. Most parks offer at least some level sites, but reservations often don't guarantee the most level locations.
Limited cell service: spotty coverage at campgrounds farther from major roads. "For those that care about working on laptop or streaming TV while camping, our cellphone hotspots worked great. We got anywhere from 30-55mbps with our Verizon cell coverage," reports Andrew S. about Jordan Lake State Recreation Area, but coverage varies significantly between providers and specific campground loops.
Playgrounds: multiple play areas for different age groups at Hagan-Stone Park. "Great location, many trails to walk, shelters to rent, and you can kayak on the pond. Very nice play areas for the kiddies and a pool (extra fee)," notes Rick S. The playgrounds feature equipment suitable for ages 2-12.
Swimming options: dedicated beach areas at Jordan Lake with shallow entry points. "The spots are well spread out so you don't feel like you are on top of each other and it's very kid friendly," writes Bailey R. Swimming areas typically open from late May through early September with no lifeguards on duty.
Educational opportunities: historical sites within several parks provide learning experiences. "We loved the educational experiences at this park. Very knowledgeable and clean," says Elizabeth V. about Eno River State Park. Programs about local wildlife and history run primarily on summer weekends.
Site selection strategy: research specific loops for the best experience. "Like the way the campsites take advantage of the rolling terrain. We stayed at the F Loop. Sites F36 and F40 are situated so the awning side of the camper has a direct, unobstructed view of the water," advises Stuart O. about Poplar Point Campground. Front-row sites typically book 3-6 months in advance.
Water connections: bring splitters and extra hose for shared hookups. "There is one water connection for each two sites so would advise bringing a splitter," suggests Marshall P. Most RV parks provide 30/50 amp service, but water sharing arrangements vary significantly between campgrounds.
Dog friendly campgrounds near Snow Camp: designated pet areas exist at several locations. "Not a bad site in the camp. Beautiful views, dog friendly, large shady sites," shares Betty B. While most parks accommodate pets with typical leash requirements, rules about dogs on beaches or in buildings vary by location.
