4 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Lake Norman State Park Campground offers furnished cabins with comfortable beds, air conditioning, and private porches. The cabins are within walking distance of clean bathrooms and showers, with paths that light up at night for easy navigation. Statesville RV Park I-77 provides cozy camping cabins suitable for overnight stays, featuring double beds and twin-sized bunk beds. Midway Campground Resort and Lake Myers RV Resort also offer cabin accommodations near Troutman. "We stayed in the new glamping cabin #2. Very clean, comfortable bed, nice AC, lovely porch to relax on. All cabins are in walking distance to the bathrooms and showers."
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Lake Norman's glamping cabins provide more amenities than basic units at other parks. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when the swimming areas are open. Pet policies vary by location, with some cabins allowing dogs while others restrict pets. A recent review noted, "The camping cabins are cozy, we stayed in a single which has 1 dbl bed and twin sized bunk bed. Staff was very friendly. I wouldn't consider this a camping destination."
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary widely between locations, with some offering only outdoor fire pits and others providing more extensive kitchen setups. On-site camp stores at locations like Midway Campground Resort and Lake Myers RV Resort stock basic provisions, though many cabin guests bring their own food and supplies. Statesville RV Park's proximity to Interstate 77 makes it convenient for travelers needing overnight accommodations with easy highway access.

"Driving 14 1/2 hrs I was cooked called and had the most easiest booking. There was a sites available so I booked it."
"We played mini golf, had a view of the lake, and enjoyed a great campfire on our little porch they provided. We truly had so much fun even though we only stayed one night! Can’t wait to come back."
"We stayed here while visiting friends who lived in the Salisbury area and stayed in Cabin 1. The cabins are REALLY nice, I was very impressed."
"We did some awesome hikes nearby, and also did some biking. The trails were great, as was the weather. NC is such a great state, and I honestly didnt know how much it had to offer outdoors."
"Definitely not the campground to book if you are looking to enjoy the surroundings/scenery as things are very packed in. Close enough to Winston-Salem to do day trips though."
"There is a play ground and game room for older kids but nothing for the smaller children to do. If it was just adults going, or even older children maybe 7 and up it would be a great location."
"Very close to my home. I hike in to the remote campsite on the lake. Lots of fishermen and trash since the scum can’t seem to pick up after themselves. The cabins here are also great."

from $10 - $30 / night

"They have a mini train ride, sprinkler playground, a big regular playground, carousel, panning for gems, paddle boats, nature center, and shelters and picnic areas."
"People and pet friendly. Adult and under 18 pools open seasonably. Gated and campers are given individual codes to get in after hours."
"Game room, store and grill. Spacious and level sites. Hiking trails and lake with small beach for swimming and fishing. Pet + horse friendly. Neatly kept. Kind and helpful host."
"We tow a 19' a-frame camper with a Toyota Tacoma and had lots of room on the pad. The pad was pretty level so set up was easy."

GuideDriving 14 1/2 hrs I was cooked called and had the most easiest booking. There was a sites available so I booked it. Needless to say I got there in the dark and a kind person helped me to my site and got me backed in. Soo exhausted I hooked up electric only hit the bed passed out
RangerWas a monthly Camper when I came in to the campground. Nobody was cleaning the men’s room. No one was trying to collect the fall leaves. This is an old run down campground. I cleaned the men’s room for free because there was no staff to clean. I regret helping the owner for free on multiple occasions.
TravelerThis is/was marked as dispersed camping but this is primarily an OHV area, with a shooting range nearby that can be heard from some campsites. Most, if not all, of the campsites are intended to be large group sites. The empty site we found was filled with trash, discarded tents, air mattresses, and trashed electronics from OHVs. There's so much trash we would not even be able to take it all out with us if we wanted to. This may be a national forest, but it is not peace and quiet as one would expect from "dispersed and primitive" camping.
ScoutThe spots are alright but first night got ate up by ants so hadda move and the other spots are good but have no shade and no signal and not mutch to take pictures of so if you wanna have some survival type camping this is a great location.
TravelerI don’t have any complaints about this campground! Sites are nice and feel like you aren’t close to anyone else. Very pretty area, quiet. Newest bathhouse I have ever seen at a state park! Awesome showers.
ScoutIs a very basic campground they are having allot of plumbing issues. no activities for the kids no hot tub, store, restaurant or music on weekends anymore
LegendWe pulled into Lake Norman State Park around 6 PM on New Year’s Eve, mainly because we didn’t want to drive a couple more hours to our original destination. We only planned to stay one night, but the campground surprised us—in the best way—and we ended up staying three nights instead.
There were plenty of available campsites, and every site we saw was at least decently spaced, with several feeling nicely secluded. The campground was quiet and well laid out. The bathhouse was clean and modern, and having water spigots available in the no-hookups loop was a big plus.
One of the highlights was riding our e-bikes on the Hawk, Hicks, Norwood Creek, and Monbo loops. These are the easier sections of the Itusi Trail system and were a lot of fun—though still a bit too unpaved for my wife’s taste😄. Even so, the hiking trail access from the campground made it easy to get out and explore.
This stop wasn’t planned at all, but it turned into one of those stays that makes you glad plans changed. We’ll definitely be coming back to Lake Norman State Park.

ScoutClean, safe, road noise all night, showers are clean, water is kinda warm. Site was level
GuideThis is a nice campground. Water issues in the ladies bathroom and spotty/weak Wi-Fi. Most amenities were closed due to short staffing. They are planning to refurbish a lot and staff more in the new year. When that happens this place will be a strong 5 stars!
