3 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several state parks and private campgrounds near Whitsett, North Carolina provide furnished cabin rentals with varying amenities. Haw River State Park Cabins in nearby Browns Summit offers cabin accommodations with electric hookups, heating, and pet-friendly policies. Greensboro KOA, just a short drive from Whitsett, features cabin rentals with electricity, beds, and access to clean shower facilities. According to one visitor, "The cabins were wonderful and I would highly recommend them... it was one of the nicest cabins out there and the whole family hung out with us at our cabin site since it had more privacy." Most cabins include picnic tables and fire rings outside, while interior amenities typically include beds, basic furniture, and sometimes kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location and price point. Hanging Rock State Park Campground, about an hour's drive from Whitsett, offers cabin options that remain open year-round with heating systems for winter stays. Most cabins require a two-night minimum stay, particularly at Greensboro KOA where cabins cost approximately $100 per night. Pet policies vary by location, with some properties like Haw River State Park and Hyco Lake State Park Campground explicitly welcoming pets in their cabin accommodations. Reservations are essential, especially during summer months and weekends when cabins book quickly. One reviewer noted of their KOA cabin experience, "The cabins are really nice, and children will love the caboose/play area and large pool."
Most cabin rentals provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, blankets, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary widely between properties, from basic setups with only a microwave to more complete kitchenettes with small refrigerators and hot plates. Cooking utensils, pots, pans, and dishes are sometimes provided but often limited, so checking with the specific property before arrival is recommended. Firewood can typically be purchased on-site at most locations, with Hanging Rock State Park selling bundles for $5. While some cabins include small refrigerators, bringing a cooler with ice is advisable for additional food storage. General stores at Greensboro KOA and Moonshine Creek Campground offer basic provisions, though most cabin campers bring their own groceries from stores in Greensboro or Burlington.

"Nice place to camp for a few days - we had a campervan and were surrounded by huge, but quiet, RVs."
"Only a short 45 minute drive will get you to this spot for a quick day trip or a few nights. Super pet friendly and well maintained campground."

GuideStopped here after our fiasco with holly bluff. Beautiful campground with trees. Very quiet during the day and peaceful. The only thing we found curious was the vehicle in and right back out activity between 10:30-pm and 1am back and forth to campers that were long term stays. Made nighttime hard to sleep in site 3 with vehicles back and forth for hours .
ScoutLooking for a nice place for a camping getaway? We highly recommend checking out the Deep River Campground in Asheboro, NC. The location itself is beautiful. It is literally on the Deep River and features a hiking trail that runs along the river past the remnants of a historical damn, where a small area of rapids gently swirls around the big rocks spanning the river. There’s also a large lake with a nice grassy expanse for picnics, playing games or just lazing around lakeside. This campground has been around for a while, but it has new owners now and they are breathing some for real new life into the place. They have already made lots of repairs and improvements, and you can see more in progress. There are sites for RVs with all the hook-ups, and great primitive sites for tent camping, several located right on the river. If you don’t have an RV and sleeping on the ground doesn’t spark joy, they have a few small rustic but nicely-appointed cabins. You’ll find two pools, several covered picnic shelters, a playground for the small ones, and several options for older kids and adults to play, like a horseshoe pit and a nice game room. They also have planned activities like movie nights and weiner roasts most evenings to entertain and create community among campers. They are pet friendly and have their own pet mascots on site— a flock of ducks including beautifully colored teals and mallards. We were just there for 2 nights, but I have a good feeling we’ll be visiting there again soon. Definitely worth a visi
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.
GuideThe sites are very large, long and wider at the back, plenty of room for a big group or family. The bathrooms look new and they are clean. Here during the week so it's very empty and quiet.
TravelerWe visited Crosswinds campground at Jordan Lake State Park on the worst heatwave of the year. The great thing about this area is that the sites a well shaded. We were about 50 yards from the lake, with the wind blowing we still were comfortable all day. We stayed on Loop A, which is my favorite loop at the park. There’s no electricity or water at the sites. There are water spickets throughout the loop with potable water. The site is awesome! There’s a small pond beside it. The neighboring sites are close, but regular conversations can not be heard.this loop is always quiet even when there are a lot of people, but it’s never been full when I’m there. I didn’t do good with photos except for the food.
ScoutThe campground is very well kept. Super friendly staff and in a good location.
ScoutThis is a nice place to paddle board. They also have a really cool disk golf course that we just hiked. The staff are super friendly. Classic NC country folk. The restrooms have been redone and now there is a bank of individual shower/rest rooms. The only drawback is it's kind of a long uphill walk from the campsites on a gravel road.
ScoutDecent campground in a beautiful location along Lake Jordan. Crosswinds Campground is one of several sites on the lake. We chose this location since the gates stay open all the time, while other sites have a curfew that can lock you out for the night.
The staff are super friendly and helpful. There’s apparently a camp host whom we never met and they’re on the site next to ours (not sure if they’re supposed to greet us or help us get acquainted with the site, but the staff member at check in was great and did all that when we arrived).
Loop C is quiet, very few children, and less road noise compared to the other loops, but doesn’t have the same access to the lake.
Site C50 is conveniently located close to the bath house, has a large fire pit with adjustable grill, picnic table, and hookups for water and electricity. We’re in a tent, so really just use the electricity. The picnic table here should be replaced, as the wood seems to be rotting, but still does the job. There are a few sites in loop C that do have direct access to the lake, but those tend to be booked all of the time. We explored one last night and couldn’t believe it was vacant and how much nicer it seemed.
Bathrooms are not as clean as I would like, but I bring disinfectant wipes to wipe the toilet before use. Showers are fine, but use an annoying motion sensor to turn the water on/off. Showering at night is annoying with the bugs because the bathhouse is lit like a beacon (probably for safety). Waiting for the daytime is a better experience. Also, there isn’t a washing station for dishes, and we do that at our site.
Firewood can be purchased by the staff at the campground entrance; however, the exact same firewood is almost $4 fewer at a Refuel station down the street. Definitely stop into that gas station store for things you might need.
Overall, really good experience staying here, some annoying things, but won’t ruin your stay.
TravelerFirst time to Loop C and we loved it. There are some great sites here, they are big and most are decently spaced. It rained heavily while there, some sites will hold water, but I didn’t see any fully submerged. There’s no electrical hook ups, there are a few potable water spickets throughout the loop. The bathroom was very clean.
Cabin accommodations near Whitsett, North Carolina provide year-round access to the region's diverse terrain and moderate climate. The area sits at elevations between 600-800 feet, with seasonal temperatures ranging from winter lows around 30°F to summer highs averaging 88°F. Several campgrounds within a 60-mile radius offer cabin options varying from rustic structures to fully-equipped units with modern amenities.
Waterfall exploration: Hanging Rock State Park Campground, located about 50 miles from Whitsett, features multiple accessible waterfalls for visitors. According to one camper, "There are a lot of trails to explore, but they are not just trails to nowhere. There are five waterfalls to see, a climbing access area, Cook's Wall, and much more."
Lake activities: At Rolling View Falls Lake, approximately 50 miles from Whitsett, guests can swim, fish, and boat. "The lake is beautiful and great for kids. We will be going back," notes one visitor. Fishing is particularly productive with one reviewer commenting, "We always catch a ton of fish!"
Mountain biking: The area surrounding Cool Creek Farm offers extensive trails for cyclists. According to a reviewer, "Miles of mountain bike trails within 30 minutes of the property. A great basecamp after a day of adventuring."
Creek access: Cabin guests at Moonshine Creek Campground frequently mention the water features. One visitor described it as "the prettiest, friendliest, most peaceful campground I've ever stayed. I cannot talk about it enough! Landscaping is beautiful, but still natural. Benches throughout even in the creek to put your feet in."
Wildlife viewing: Many cabin sites offer opportunities to observe local fauna. At Rolling View Falls Lake, one camper noted, "Deer mosey past your site and linger during the evening. Ample squirrel and robins, woodpeckers and cardinals compete for air time."
Accessibility to urban amenities: Cabins near Whitsett provide a balance between nature and city conveniences. A visitor to William B. Umstead State Park Campground described it as "an outdoor oasis as you can get lost in the woods with the hustle and bustle of the city all around you."
Road noise: Several cabins sit near highways. A Greensboro KOA visitor warned, "This campground is only 100 yards from the Interstate! Lots of road noise all night. Very noisy especially in a tent." However, cabins typically provide better sound insulation than tents.
Site levelness: Terrain can present challenges at some locations. A reviewer at Hyco Lake State Park Campground noted, "A lot of them are sloped. Very hard to level out an RV."
Bathroom facilities: Quality varies significantly between properties. At Hanging Rock State Park, one camper observed, "The bathroom facility is outdated (built in the 1960s). Even though it has hot water, it is NOT handicap accessible, and the shower doors are narrow. If you are not a skinny person, you might have trouble squeezing through the shower doors."
Choose cabins with nearby activities: Families benefit from sites with immediate recreation options. A visitor to Hanging Rock State Park reported, "From spotting salamanders near the creek to pretending they were mountain explorers on the trails, they were thoroughly entertained the whole trip."
Consider bathhouse proximity: When booking with children, location matters. "It was a bit of a walk to the bath house, even though I specifically requested a site close to the bath house when I booked the reservation 8 months prior," noted one camper at Greensboro KOA.
Verify tent pad sizes: For larger families bringing their own shelter, space can be limited. A visitor to Hanging Rock State Park shared, "We stayed at Campsite 50, and while it was in a nice wooded area with plenty of shade and a decent amount of privacy, the tent pad was smaller than expected. We brought a 10-person tent, and it was a tight fit."
Hookup placement: At some cabin and RV sites, utilities require extra equipment. A Hyco Lake State Park camper advised, "We did find that our water and electricity was on the passenger side of our vehicle so it was a good thing we had an extra hose to reach the water as well as a long enough cord to reach the electric box."
Site size considerations: Check dimensions before booking. A Greensboro KOA visitor mentioned, "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."
Dump station availability: Not all campgrounds with cabins offer full services. A visitor to Jordan Lake State Recreation Area observed, "This campground is pretty great except for two things. There is no septic on your site, and they lock the gate after a certain hour. If you need something or arrive after hours you are out of luck."
