22 campgrounds with availability this weekend
RV facilities near W. Kerr Scott Reservoir include several developed campgrounds with varying levels of amenities. Riverwalk RV Park offers 51 sites with full hookups including 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections. Lake Myers RV Resort operates seasonally from April through November with big-rig friendly sites and complete hookups. Roaring River Vineyards RV Campground provides electric hookups with 50-amp service and dump station access but lacks sewer connections at individual sites. Peak Creek RV Campground features only two sites but includes full hookups with both 30 and 50-amp electrical options. "The sites are pretty spread out. They keep things well manicured," noted one visitor about area campgrounds.
Navigation to some mountain RV parks requires caution on steep roads. Indian Springs Campground has a 7% grade entrance that becomes challenging during heavy rain. Many parks in the region remain open year-round, though several operate seasonally between April and October. Propane service is limited at most locations, with firewood more commonly available for purchase. While pets are welcome at most facilities, alcohol policies vary significantly between campgrounds. Cellular coverage fluctuates throughout the area, particularly in more remote locations. Dump stations are available at Lake Myers and Roaring River Vineyards, while several campgrounds feature pull-through RV pads suitable for larger rigs. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, proximity to highways creates noise issues at some locations, while others offer peaceful creek-side settings.
"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."
"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."
"We were looking for a campground near by over Martin Luther weekend and used the Dyrt app and found this nice campground."
"Large back-in spot, fairly level. Very quiet during the week but have been told by the camp hosts that every weekend is booked for a long time. Would definitely go back."
from $70 - $85 / night

ScoutGreat location , clean bathhouse
ScoutNobody was here on Sat. Had gard time finding site. Site reserved did not have 30 amp and could not reach staff. Moved to other site hoping it would not be a problem. We were able to finally reach staff on Mon. Also no pcknick tables or fire rings.
ScoutLet me first start by saying that this campground is absolutely beautiful. I have lived in this area my entire life and the Doe is one of my favorites. I am a avid camper and have camped all over this area. I decided to give this place a try, I own a small pop-up camper and knew it was going to get cold 10/20/2026-10/22/2026, so me and my sister rented the RV at Doe River. #1 check in is not until 3pm, I always order a load of wood from a local guy who delivers to camp sites, I do all my cooking in a Dutch oven over the fire or burgers and dogs in the fire, what is a camping trip without a nice warm fire. The owner came over to my campsite and asked if I had ordered this wood and I replied yes, she then asked what I was going to do with it all, I replied I am going to burn it. So, I told Carl (the wood guy) where to stack it, the owner then said that I need to leave it in my truck bc if I didn't use it all I would have to put it back on my truck and take it home with me, I said really? It's just a unspoken rule that if you don't use all your wood that you pay it forward and leave it for the next camper?? She said absolutely not, So we moved the wood from his truck and into mine. She then asked again why I needed so much wood and that most ppl just buy small bundles from her. And just like that I understood! Carl the wood man and his wife also made a comment about how rude she was about the wood. It does not end there, Not only does she have camaras on some of the out blds which I get, but I don't get why they are pointing directly at camp sites, We felt like we were in a fish bowl the entire time. Every single time we went to the bathroom she showed up abt 5 mins later, There is a camara right above the bathroom door, One on the pavilion, and one on each side of the bathhouse, at the entrances and who know where else. So much for privacy in the great outdoors. I didn't even feel comfortable hiking, we felt like we were being watched constantly. She was constantly there, walking her dog which was not friendly and so big she could hardly control him on the leash which was really scary, she also was driving through several times throughout the day. Then came the kicker, about 1 o'clock in the morning we were freezing, I had turned the heat on in the camper before going to bed and heard it come on, Well the propane ran out between 11pm and 1am, I called her at least 10 times we had every blanket and was still freezing, We decided we would go to the bath house bc it had a mini split hanging on the wall, Out of luck there, it was set on air conditioning with no way to change it, so we found a blow dryer trying to get warm, still the entire time trying to call the owners, We finally ended up in our car until the husband arrived. He acted so annoyed at us and said all u have to do is fip the switch on the propane tanks outside! We had never stayed in a travel trailer before and according to them all we had to do was show up and start glamping!! So, I was supposed to know to go outside at 1 am and switch over propane tanks?? No, It should have been FULL when I got there!!! With attitude he said,"Its Basic Camping" No sir it's not, what I do is basic camping, I was told on the phone that I was glamping, She, the owner also said we should have called 911 when we could not get hold of them so that Carter County police officers could come and wake them up!!! Not sure if that is putting our tax dollars to good use?? Like I said it is truly a beautiful place and has great potential, we left that second night at 11pm because again the heat was not working, we have not asked for any refund we just took the loss. it would be to much of a hassle. We just know better next time. With owners like that they can keep it. Windy Wells/Debra Price
ScoutMy husband and I arrived at Doe River Landing for 3 nights and enjoyed everything the resort offered. While there we read the 2 reviews posted by Kylie T, and by Andrew W, who gave the resort a 1 star rating. Not knowing the facts that caused the rating by them, and occurred prior to us, we approach the owner and asked.
The owner showed us videos from their security cameras. These adults has stated in Kylie T review and confirm by Andrew W review that they were a group of 20 adults and "every single one of us is over 21 and family". So why are these adults playing "hide and seek" under the pavilion as they stated? Andrew W stated, "It was not blocked off", yet they had to crawl on the ground and around bushes to get under the pavilion. When the owner yelled at them approximately 10 adults that were under the pavilion crawled out which was captured on the security cameras. Andrew W stated in his review the owner called them hooligans, which is rowdy, destructive persons and from the security cameras, that description is correct. There was no mention of damages in their reviews such as the Adirondack chair they broke or possible damage to the water pipes and electric wires under the pavilion, which the owner was currently checking.
Once we read these two reviews by Kylie T and Andrew W and saw the owners security videos, we felt future customers deserved to know another opinion based on our findings.
These entitled adults justified their review of a 1 star by stating they paid money to use the campground.
I would ask these adults "why do you think it is OK to treat someone else's property in this destructive way?"
GuideSeems to be a well established campground in an off the beaten path location. Roads alternately paved and gravel. The campsite is gravel in a wooded setting. Fair amount of space between sites. The bathhouse is clean but dated.
ScoutWe brought our whole family out and rented almost every cabin on the property, plus the event center, for the weekend— we gave this place a lot of business. And honestly, the stay itself was great— nice place, no complaints about the cabins. The owner is the problem. He came flying in in his blue F-150 doing 20–30 mph where the posted speed limit is 5, and started screaming at us over something that could've been handled with a simple conversation. His exact words:"Where are your parents? This is a family establishment. I will not have hooligans running around here." Every single one of us is over 21 and family. All we were doing was playing hide and seek— which isn't against any of the property's rules— and there were no other guests to disturb, since we had the entire area rented. He still threatened to call the police, even though it wasn't even quiet hours. Before anyone could get a word in, he peeled out so fast the gravel sprayed up at us and our cars. Then on his way out he drove the wrong way down the property's one-way road, so apparently the rules only apply to guests. It's sad, because the property itself is great, and we were never anything but nice to the owners the whole weekend. To be treated in such an unprofessional manner— screamed at, threatened, and never given so much as an apology afterward— put a real dent in the weekend. We won't be back
ScoutOur group of about 20 rented nearly every cabin at Doe River Landing for my friend's wedding weekend, with the reception held on site. The cabins were nice and well-equipped, and the only other guests were in a cabin half a mile away through the woods. Unfortunately, the hosts ruined the stay. One night, some of us were playing hide and seek in an area that wasn't blocked off or against any rule. The host's husband came speeding in at roughly 30 mph(the posted limit is 5), jumped out of his truck screaming that he"will not have child hooligans running around the campground," told us to"go back to the motel we crawled out of," and demanded to see our parents— despite all of us being adults in our twenties. He then peeled out so aggressively he sprayed gravel at us and our cars. It wasn't even quiet hours, and we weren't disturbing anyone. Afterward, the host called us again, passive-aggressive, and questioned our ages— even though you have to be 21 just to rent a cabin there. The property is lovely, but the hosts' behavior put a real damper on what should have been a joyful wedding celebration. It's a shame they treat people paying good money this way. We won't be back.
ScoutThis is not a resort type campground. It is a place for people to bring old campers to live full time and long term. The electric and water utilities are original from the 50's and there are constant problems with both. There is a lot of unrecognized potential because the owners do not reinvest any money into anything for the campground.
W. Kerr Scott Dam & Reservoir sits at approximately 1,030 feet elevation in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. RV camping options spread across several counties surrounding this 1,475-acre impoundment, with most campgrounds positioned within 30 miles of the reservoir. Winter temperatures can drop below freezing from December through February, making some seasonal campgrounds unavailable during colder months.
Bicycle access: The New River Trail offers 58 miles of cycling paths accessible from RV camping areas. "We rode the first 6 miles (and back) of the New River Trail to the train trestle and through the tunnel, just beyond. Easy ride with 2% grade," notes a visitor to Fries New RiverTrail RV Park.
Kayaking options: Water sports remain popular with campers staying near the reservoir. RVers can find boat rentals at several locations. "Kayak and bike drop offs are available at the gas station. (About 2 miles down)," according to campers at Fries New RiverTrail RV Park.
Wine tasting: Several campgrounds offer proximity to local vineyards. "Had a great time here...campground is behind the restaurant and a pond. Very nice peaceful setting and you can wine taste while you are visiting," writes a camper about Roaring River Vineyards RV Campground.
Creek access: Many campers appreciate the ability to cool off in nearby waterways. A visitor at Peak Creek RV Campground notes, "Creek is like a river, cool getaway during the day."
Pool facilities: Swimming options vary between campgrounds. "Many activities offered for family with 2 large pools etc," writes a reviewer about Lake Myers RV Resort.
Camp store conveniences: On-site provisions save travel time. One visitor to Linville Falls Campground mentioned, "It has a store where you can get your basic camping things, also has a place to do your laundry, wash dishes and has a few showers plus family shower area."
Reservation requirements: Booking policies vary significantly between campgrounds, with some requiring substantial advance planning. "We were lucky enough to call just after a cancellation was made in the RV Park…making room for us for 4 nights," reports a camper at Fries New RiverTrail RV Park.
Water pressure variations: Water hookups can be inconsistent depending on site location. "Being at the end of the water line for the park, our pressure wasn't great so we used our fresh water tank and water pump for showers and to wash dishes," notes a visitor to Fries New RiverTrail RV Park.
Campground size considerations: Capacity ranges from just two sites at Peak Creek RV Campground to over 50 at Riverwalk RV Park. "This campground is just a few minutes down the road from the very quaint town of Elkin, NC. There is a nice walking path through the campground. The sites were roomy and the entire campground was so clean!"
Activity planning: Multiple campgrounds offer family-oriented recreation options. A Lake Myers RV Resort visitor shares, "A+ campground.. fun activities.. kid friendly.. love playing BINGO here!!"
Age-appropriate facilities: Not all campgrounds cater to young children. A camper at Lake Myers RV Resort advises, "We took our three boys (all under 5) for the weekend. There was not much at all for them to do other than play in the pool, which was a tad bit dirty. BUT there were storms that weekend so I don't think that was their fault."
Entertainment options: Some campgrounds feature unexpected social activities. A visitor to Rose Creek Retreat appreciated that "We loved the privacy, location, and serenity of this campground. We live in the country and are used to more seclusion."
Site leveling: Terrain varies between campgrounds, affecting setup time. A Fries New RiverTrail RV Park camper notes, "Our site was completely level and had a deck, perfect for a morning yoga routine."
Internet connectivity: WiFi quality varies significantly between locations. "Verizon service has 2 bars. Occasionally got a little spotty while working, but our hotspot worked enough. Streaming did get dicey," shares a Lake Myers RV Resort visitor.
Site spacing: Privacy between RVs differs between campgrounds. A camper at Riverwalk RV Park observed, "All the sites were very roomy, many pull through sites, very clean and very friendly hosts. All sites were gravel and have a fire pit that you can move around to where you want to build your fire."
