    Greensboro KOA

    Noisy- Ok for one night

    This campground is only 100 yards from the Interstate! Lots of road noise all night. Very noisy especially in a tent. The sites are large enough for most RVs. Adequate space between sites, and some grass. There are a few trees around the campground but not in the RV sites. Full hookups (30/50 amp) Pool, playground and camp store with basics. Shower and bathroom were clean.

    Cobble Hill RV Campground (Formerly) Carolina Rose

    good stop & stay

    campground being remodeled so bathhouses were a little walk away but not too inconvenient. pool was also closed for now BUT overall cute location. did park on site 59 (pull through) but was SUPER unlevel. cute pond and amphitheater too! has laundry as well.

    coolest part about this spot is that it’s about a 10 min drive into Catawba college town which was a super nice area for us being younger. perfect mix of Boulder & Philly :)

    hosts were SUPER friendly and nice :)

    Love Valley Campground

    Clean

    Probably the second cleanest campground I had ever been to

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Asheboro

    Great stay

    Campground has many things to do for the Littles. I would recommend renting the “off road” golf cart for fun. The only negative is the lack of bath houses. Although we have a full bathroom in our camper we typically use the showers at the campgrounds. There were only 2 bathhouses in the campground. Our site was well shaded and enough space between the sites.

    Tanglewood Park

    Shaded and clean

    No permanent sites so it's clean with no clutter, host greeted upon arrival, lots of access to hike/bike trails, near park with ponds, pool, ball courts. Several sites including mine very hard to level

    Brookhaven Mill Farm

    Quaint Site with Goats!

    I only needed to stay at this site for a few hours with my dog for dinner and a quick nap before heading on my way! The grass was a little overgrown which was just a little itchy but otherwise it was an amazing site, with a well maintained porta potty and cute animals on site!

    Black Dog Acres RV Park

    Clean, Easy, & Nice

    We stopped just for a night as we were traveling 74 south. It was just a little off the path (a few low trees on the route but nothing going slow and caulk won’t fix). Super easy pull through sites with convenient hookups. No bathrooms so did need to hook up water. Every body was super nice and friendly, 10/10 would stay again.

    Lake Reidsville Recreation Park

    A Hidden Gem in North Carolina

    Lake Reidsville Campground was a beautiful and peaceful escape from the daily hustle. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by serene water views, lush greenery, and the calming sounds of nature. The campground is well-maintained, and the lake itself is stunning — perfect for morning reflections or evening sunsets.

    The dock area was a favorite spot of mine — great for fishing, relaxing, or just soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. The photo I took captures how inviting and tranquil this place is. It’s clear the city takes pride in keeping the area clean and accessible.

    Whether you’re camping, kayaking, or simply looking for a quiet place to unwind, Lake Reidsville is absolutely worth a visit. I’m already planning to return.

    Arrowhead Campground

    Perfect spot

    Nicely spaced, shaded, and quiet camp ground. A lot of people camp here with their jeeps, sidexsides, and 4wheelers. The bathrooms and showers aren’t fancy but are clean. There’s a boat ramp right by the entrance. Overall an awesome camp ground!
