Campgrounds near Westfield, North Carolina range from motorcycle-focused sites to family-friendly resorts with lakeside amenities. The region sits at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains with elevations between 1,000-1,500 feet, creating mild summers and colorful fall foliage seasons. Many campgrounds remain open year-round, though amenities like swimming pools typically operate from April through October when temperatures average 75-85°F during peak season.
What to do
Motorcycle camping adventures: Willville Motorcycle Camp in Meadows Of Dan is specifically designed for motorcycle travelers. Located just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, it offers excellent access to regional riding routes. "Great motorcycle campground. Clean facilities, friendly host. Good spread of water spigots and electrical outlets if you need to charge your equipment, although electric isn't available at each spot (you can bring an extension cord if you need it for a CPAP or such)," notes Brian F. at Willville Motorcycle Camp.
Hiking and biking trails: The New River Trail is accessible from several local campgrounds. "Catch the head of the 58 mile trail just 2 blocks from the RV site. (Just head down to the River, just beyond the caboose with ice cream!) 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," shares Jennifer K. about Fries New RiverTrail RV Park.
Disc golf courses: Several campgrounds feature recreational facilities beyond standard amenities. "It is a beautiful venue with rolling grassy hills and acres of woods with hiking and mountain biking trails. They have full hookup RV sites along with dry ones and multiple tent camping options! They also have free wifi along with a brand new 9 hole disc golf course!" explains Stafford W. about Chantilly Farm RV/Tent Campground.
What campers like
Quiet, scenic settings: Many campers appreciate the peaceful atmosphere at smaller campgrounds. "We were on top of a hill with other RV's with gorgeous views and sunsets. The grounds were very well kept and mowed. Trash cans were abundant and bathrooms were decent," shares Joan about Chantilly Farm RV/Tent Campground & Event Venue.
Clean facilities: Cleanliness ranks high on camper priorities. "The campground is close to the New River Trail so we walked and biked the trail every day. It was a beautiful area. There's a little ice cream shop and a diner close by," notes Sherri J. about Fries New RiverTrail RV Park.
Family-friendly amenities: Some campgrounds focus on activities for all ages. "This campground has so many sites and they are well laid out and spacious. They have 30 amp and 50 amp sites to suit your needs. There is a nice restaurant to eat at, a small convenience store, arcade games, 3 pools and a ton of activities," explains Lauren S. about Thousand Trails Forest Lake.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Many campgrounds fill quickly during peak seasons. "We were only there Fri-Sun but there were activities planned to include an outdoor movie (with free popcorn), arts & crafts for the kids, candy bar bingo, and a DJ," shares Brooke S. about Thousand Trails Forest Lake.
Site specifications: RV sites vary significantly between campgrounds. "We stayed in site 10 (end site) and it perfect for our 25 ft travel trailer. The gated campground has ten FHU sites for self contained RVs (no pop ups or tents allowed), all sites have wifi and open sky for starlink, campground bathhouse and laundry are five stars," explains Jennifer H. about Greystone RV Park.
Seasonal operations: Some campgrounds limit services during off-seasons. "We just bought a brand spanking new camper, new golf cart, paid membership fees. I want refunded if our membership is not going to be honored due to a dishonorable and unethical manager with no factual evidence," reports Susan P. about Lake Myers RV Resort, highlighting the importance of understanding membership policies.
Tips for camping with families
Activity planning: Choose campgrounds with structured programming for children. "Part of the Thousand Trails System. 2 swimming pools, camp store, snack bar, fishing pond (I caught 2 sunfishes in 30 min & I'm no fisherman) basketball court, mini golf, & playground equipment," shares Joel M. about Thousand Trails Forest Lake.
Age-appropriate options: Consider the activities available for specific age groups. "The staff is wonderfully nice and helpful. 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. There is a play ground and game room for older kids but nothing for the smaller children to do," advises Keanu G. about Lake Myers RV Resort.
Cabin alternatives: For families new to camping, cabins provide comfort with outdoor access. "We were able to spend a couple of weeks enjoying the park. We stayed in one of the cabins after the high season. Comfortable and cozy, we really enjoyed our morning walks along the trails and lake," shares Mychele B. about Lake Ridge RV Resort.
Tips from RVers
Site selection considerations: Look for campgrounds with level sites and adequate hookups. "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," notes Drew W. about Black Dog Acres RV Park.
Road conditions: Access roads to some campgrounds present challenges for larger rigs. "Located right outside of Floyd, VA and just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is a beautiful venue with rolling grassy hills and acres of woods with hiking and mountain biking trails," states Stafford W. about Chantilly Farm RV/Tent Campground.
Internet connectivity: Remote work campers should verify connectivity options. "We had a great time visiting Mocksville. There are a lot of cute restaurants near by. Verizon service has 2 bars. Occasionally got a little spotty while working, but our hotspot worked enough. Streaming did get dicey," shares Ariel F. about Lake Myers RV Resort.
