Good lakeside campground, cool hiking trails, nice views and the bathrooms are really well kept and nice.

We camped overnight making our way south. There are a number of sites right on the lakefront, so snag one of those if you can! Many of the sites offer good flat terrain, and electric hook-ups are available at many sites. Nice, shady and quiet, the campground is very clean. Pretty convenient to I-85. Be sure to go out near sunset to see the beautiful reflections in the lake waters! We will be back!

Overall a great place! I tent camped and it’s really nice being right on the water. Nice to fish right from your campsite. Staff is friendly and the store was nice for last minute things. Bath houses were nice and clean but are definitely a decent uphill walk away.
Traveler
Nice campground. Nice people/hosts. Bathroom not so much. Long backup to get to the site. Hookups on wrong side. But lots of beautiful sites. Mostly all waterfront. E/W

The site is directly on the lake. Mere steps from your door. Beautiful view on the adjacent shoreline and bridge. Rocky shoreline. Easy to back in. I only have 2 complaints. The proximity of neighbors. The only thing separating you from site 24 is the tent pad. And the site length listed is a little misleading. It says 40 feet which I assume is true. But we fit our 27 foot travel trailer in there and had a really hard time wedging our tow vehicle (F250) in there. Parked at an odd angle on the tent pad. Wouldn’t choose this site again but definitely recommend for a smaller trailer.

We camped here at the end of March ( Easter Weekend ) and it was wonderful. The sites are spread out and not on top of each other. The restrooms were immaculate and the staff was courteous.
ScoutI am a retired major. My wife and I bought an older motorhome, and this location was great to test it out. I come again. Bath house is a few blocks way, but for 25 dollars a night. The price was right.

I came here with a large group and really liked it! We were all at crammed into the 4 large group sites so I admittedly can’t comment on the size of a regular site. However the bath houses were adequate. The staff was helpful. And the trails were nice. I wish I would have explored the park a little more as well as the surrounding area. But nice little get away.

Excellent place to camp overnight or for a couple days to rest while traveling the I-95 corridor. Full hookups to empty your tanks (heated water to avoid freezing in cold), level sites - mostly pull through so you can get in and out with ease. Large open areas to walk the pups and a decent sized dog run so they can get exercise (I can’t run that fast :) ). They has a small pool for hot summer months to cool off and refresh. Camp store has needed essentials but don’t expect to find everything a camper can desire. Campus is sparsely appointed but it has all that travelers really want which is a quiet place away from the noisy highway that is safe and has the site amenities of bigger and fancier campgrounds. I rate 4 stars because it serves its intended purpose, has level sites (didn’t even need to unhook to get level) with full hookups, and it’s priced for a quick overnight or even long-term stay if you are of humble needs. We will make it a regular stop on our journeys south and north again.
GuideThis campground appeared to be very clean and well kept. I am disappointed that we were only there for a night traveling south. If I'm in the area will definitely come back.

Great place to stay, safe location, and has a family atmosphere. Space was large and I was able to pull through without having to de-attach my car trailer.
Guide
This park was beautiful and amazing. The views were phenomenal. We were water front. Bath houses super clean and staff very friendly.

Wooded location with Kayak access to the low country. Water service is inadequate, it’s a water meter box that is in the ground under water itself. Quiet place with clean restrooms.
TravelerKimball Point is the BEST. Huge fresh water lake, large camping spots, large sandy beach, playground for kids, very well groomed, moor your boat in the water at your camp site, big boat ramp, pet friendly, great walking areas, tent & RV spaces, NC State run park. Only negative it's hard to book a space. You need to book it EXACTLY 6 months out, call at 08:00 in morning.
RangerThese sites are mostly reservable on the state website, there are many of these campgrounds within the Kerr Lake State Rec Area. 8 in total i believe, we have visited 2 so far, but plan to visit them all. Bullocksville, has Electric and non electric sites, for the most part, the electric sites are more level and developed. We do notice some non electric good sites, but many of those are hillside sloped to the lake. When on site to reserve if you check amenties, it gives you many details, level, length, width, tent pads, etc. so just pay attention to those things and you should be able to book a wonderful campsite in a pretty lakefront campground. Great hot showers, sandy beach area here, boat ramp and launch. Paved roads around campground loop with nice gravel lots on many. We stayed on site 34, 80 feet long, level gravel site, squared gravel picnic area off to side attached to back in site. Picnic table all on mostly shaded site. It was about as close to the bathouse as you could be and while not lake front, it had nice lake view. Many nice sites right on the lake however. We booked the day of our stay, so many where reserved for the up coming weekend.
GuideWe stopped at Medoc Mountain State Park for a night on our way North. It was only 10 miles away from I-95. It was a quiet campground (but we were camping the night after the 4th of July ). Lots of space in between campsites, bathrooms were clean.
Though the website said there was only 50 amp availability, we didn’t have to use our adapter and were able to connect using 30amp plug. There was also a 15 amp connection.
There is a shared water spigot for 4 sites right next to the site. We were able to fill up using our hose before fully backing up into the site. The water was much closer to site 3 than site 1,2,4.
Lots of hiking right from the campground and a fun playground nearby for the kiddos. We would definitely visit again, especially as a stopover to destinations farther from home.
TravelerVery nice campground , clean restrooms and quiet, some of the sites for tents are level some not so much but nonetheless a beautiful location and nice park.
Traveler
Lovely campground to just camp, paddle and be outdoors. So beautiful and right on this huge, amazing lake. Not a lot of activities other then enjoying the outdoors, camping, biking, hiking and water related activities. So perfect.
Traveler
Site 61, right on water, good shade, relatively private. Bit of hike to showers. Well maintained. However, new manager will not allow check in until 4:00 PM even if campsite has been vacant for days before. Makes for traffic jams every day @ 4. as everyone tries to get into site at the same time. If they change, place goes to 4 stars.
ScoutLoved it went tent camping they have electrical hook ups, water, bathrooms clean, shower house clean. Dogs allowed very peaceful and quiet will be going back.
Guide
Just passing through and nice place to pull in with our trailer and stay hitched. Wish the site was more level but a couple leveling blocks fixed it. Nice that they are open year round.

Another site I have camped at while fishing in Kerr lake. All the sites around this lake are good and this one is no exception. Easy access by car, park right next to your site which are nearly all lakeside.
Toilet facilities are available. Sites are all clean and kept in good condition.
Be aware that if there has been heavy rain the lake level will rise considerably and I had to move my tent further away from the waters edge to avoid being flooded out.
Not too many bugs in the summer months and great views of the night sky when clear.
I would recommend this site for families as well.
The lake seems safe to swim in during the summer months.
Fires are allowed there are some fire rings as well.
LegendI camped at Nutbush campground on Kerr Lake for a quiet fishing trip. I camped right on the sandy beach area. Fires are allowed and it was great to site and watch the stars at night. Bugs were not too bad either. I could drive right up to my site so it was easy to unload and set up camp.
Sites are not bookable so its first come first served and you can just choose the site that suits you best.
Seemed very safe for children. Take water and all supplied in with you as there is no site store.
The fishing was good and the water was nice to swim and relax from the heat of the summer sun.
LegendLakeside camping in a tent is great when fishing and being next to the rods. Level sites, can get flooded after heavy rains as I found out. Quiet sites even at peak times, good showers and hot water. Lake has some nice fish to be caught. Take your own firewood as no store on site.
LegendWe camped lakeside at Kerr Lake Satterwhite Point for a group fishing trip. Nice and quiet and we were able to park right next to the tents. Good cell signal and nice views of the lake and the stars at night. Thoroughly recommended.
LegendWe camped lake side at Kimball Point on Kerr Lake. Nice site and views, very quiet great for relaxing fishing and watching the stars at night
LegendWe stayed at Kerr lake JC Cooper campground in April at the side of the lake. Nice and quiet excellent for fishing. Level site and can park right next to tent. Cell signal good.
