Nice and new!
Great hosts, spacious spots, nearby dog park, loved staying here. The bath houses are a little dated but very clean. There is horse shoe, volleyball, soccer goals on the camp ground. I would stay here all the time if I could!

Tanglewood Park
New, Basic, but Nice
We only stayed for 1 night as we were passing through, but we plan to return one day.
Positives are it’s a newer campground, nice and shaded, full hookups (w,e,s), lots were wide, Easy to get in and out of, plenty to do within the park (hiking, fishing, kayak/canoe, etc), has a nice dog park, hosts were very welcoming and kind, VERY clean.
Negatives are unlevel lots (we had to lower ours by over 4” and still weren’t level, but couldn’t adjust anymore), sites aren’t exactly private - but there was a bit of space between sites.
Linda B.TravelerZooland Family Campground
Fun, Friendly, Full-Service Campground
This 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.
Marjorie W.GuideTanglewood Park
. Beautiful place
Beautiful place. At $35 a night, there is a lot to enjoy. The only thing you need to be aware of is that some of the sights are very slanted. Very tall levelers are needed. But they do have cable, wifi(that’s ok) a dog park and lots more. It’s worth it.

Tanglewood Park
Excellent County Park with Plenty to Do
This is our local park so we're a bit spoiled. It was perfect for our first outing in our new 34' travel trailer. Plenty of shade in the campground which unfortunately makes backing a challenge in some sides dodging the trees. The park has great mountain biking, walking/hiking trails, horseback riding, gold, swimming, playgrounds and a great dog park. It's the place we go on the weekend as locals and a great place to visit for campers. Hosts were extremely friendly and do a fantastic job keeping the sides clean and cleared of even the smallest twigs and branches from the tree.
Ariel F.GuideLake Myers RV Resort
Packed but quiet off season
We had a nice time visiting Mocksville. There are a lot of cute restaurants near by.
We stayed here as part of our thousand trails membership.
The campground is mostly annual people with permanent lots. We don’t mind that at all. Those types always seem to be laid back and quiet. The spots are really close together. And the roads are sooo narrow.
The dog park was nice and walking the park was relaxing.
Unfortunately a lot of the activity type things (arcade, mini-golf, horseshoes, etc) weren’t available because we visited in the off season. Bummer but to be expected even though we had super nice weather.
Not really the campgrounds fault I don’t think, but there were SO MANY FLIES. I spent the weeks killing the ones that snuck in. So annoying.
We visited with our 33’ travel trailer. Site D64 is plenty long but has the y of the road surrounding you. Verizon service has 2 bars. Occasionally got a little spotty while working, but our hotspot worked enough. Streaming did get dicey.

RangerCedarock Park
Hidden gem for a quick outdoor getaway
Cedarock 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.
Katy S.RangerHanging Rock State Park Campground
One of the most diverse state parks in NC
Hanging Rock is one of the best state parks in North Carolina. With breathtaking views from the cliffs, miles of hiking trails, a lake, and 5 waterfalls, it can keep you busy for a few days, or just over a weekend. I have been to the park throughout the year, in sunshine, rain, and snow, and always enjoyed it. I stayed at the family campground a few times. I usually book sites 3, 4 or 6 - they are spacious and conveniently located close to the bathroom as well as the hiking trail and the little stream behind the campground.
The sites are bigger than you would expect from a typical state park campground. The bathrooms and showers are clean and nice. The host is very nice.
Guide to Summerfield
Camping areas near Summerfield, North Carolina sit within the rolling Piedmont region at elevations between 800-1,000 feet, creating moderate temperatures that extend the camping season beyond summer months. The region experiences distinct seasons with fall bringing colorful foliage displays across the mixed hardwood forests. Winter camping remains viable with daytime temperatures often reaching the 50s.
What to do
Hike to multiple waterfalls: Hanging Rock State Park Campground features several waterfall trails beyond the main summit attractions. "The shortest hike to see a waterfall is relatively easy and is only three-tenths of a mile one way," notes reviewer Myron C., who recommends allocating adequate time for exploration.
Rock climbing routes: Pilot Mountain offers designated climbing access areas for different skill levels. "I've been here several times, and it's one of my favorite places for toprope climbing in the area," shares DrDavid P. The mountain features routes suitable for beginners and experienced climbers alike.
Disc golf courses: Lake Reidsville Recreation Park maintains a full disc golf course adjacent to camping areas. "There are eight lakefront sites. The sites closer to the water are provided with power and water," according to Timothy W., making it convenient to alternate between recreation and relaxation.
What campers like
Secluded wooded sites: Hagan-Stone Park offers camping loops with varying levels of tree coverage. "Loop B is heavily wooded with 30amp and water every-other site. You may need as much as 50' water hose," advises Rick S., who appreciates the natural setting.
Nature viewing opportunities: Jomeokee Campground provides direct views of Pilot Mountain. "The trees, the adjacent pastures, the farm pond, the rolling hills, and the scenic views make this a great little campground. The bottom row of sites looks directly at Pilot Mtn in the distance," describes Martha S.
Peaceful farm settings: Brookhaven Mill Farm offers animal interactions as part of the camping experience. "I setup right near the picnic table with a view of the mini horses," writes Karen M., highlighting the unique farm atmosphere that distinguishes this location from standard campgrounds.
What you should know
Bathroom facilities vary significantly: Oak Hollow City Campground bathrooms receive mixed reviews. "The restrooms and showers were very clean," notes Larisa C., while others mention facilities at different campgrounds need updating.
Highway noise impacts some locations: Greensboro KOA sits close to interstate highways, which affects noise levels. "As previously mentioned, serves its purpose for an overnight. Right off the highway, and by that I mean you see, and HEAR the traffic," reports Greg H., though the campground provides ear plugs at check-in.
Terrain challenges: Many campgrounds in the region feature sloped sites. "The tent pad was level but ground around the area was mostly sloped," says Mike T. about Hagan-Stone Park, and similar reports come from multiple locations requiring campers to bring leveling equipment.
Tips for camping with families
Elevated platforms for tents: Greensboro KOA offers family-friendly amenities despite highway proximity. "The RV sites are spacious and mostly level with electric, water, and sewer hookups. The cabins are really nice...The children will love the caboose/play area, and there is a large pool," shares Myron C.
Campsite selection for larger tents: When camping at Hanging Rock, "Campsite 50...the tent pad was smaller than expected. We brought a 10-person tent, and it was a tight fit," warns David N., suggesting families with larger tents should request specific sites when making reservations.
Open play areas: Jomeokee Campground features extensive fields for children to run and play. "The large grassy fields have lots of kids and adults playing ball and frisbee. They allow tent groups and everyone seems to be having a great time," reports Martha S.
Tips from RVers
Length limitations and navigation: Pilot Mountain State Park Campground requires careful planning for larger vehicles. Sites accommodate medium-sized RVs but access roads can be challenging. "The perimeter trails are great, not too crowded. The ones closer into Pilot Mountain itself get way too crowded," notes Courtney P.
Electrical cord length requirements: Oak Hollow City Campground requires longer electrical cords at certain sites. "I was excited to have a lake view spot with electric but my 25 foot cord was not long enough so make sure you have at least 50 feet," advises Libby M., highlighting the importance of proper equipment.
Water connections: Hagan-Stone Park features shared water spigots between sites. "Loop B is heavily wooded with 30amp and water every-other site. You may need as much as 50' water hose," explains Rick S., noting the specific infrastructure requirements for RV campers.
