What to do

What campers like
Privacy between sites: Spring Hill RV Park earns praise for spacious campsites. "The spaces are far enough apart that they aren't on top of each other," notes one reviewer who appreciated the park's layout and proximity to Chapel Hill.
Internet connectivity: Working campers appreciate reliable connectivity options. "The Wifi is excellent and, I believe, cell service is good for pretty much everyone since it's so close to the Triangle," reports a Spring Hill camper who stayed during the week.
Shade coverage: Trees provide natural temperature control during hot months. "Shady site #28" was highlighted as a positive feature by a visitor to Jones Station RV Park, who also noted the "extra wide and extra long pull thru site" and "very clean toilet/shower building."
What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Weather impacts camping comfort throughout the year. One Indian Heritage RV Park visitor noted, "Enjoyed a misty sunset and sunrise by the river," highlighting the atmospheric conditions travelers might encounter.
Site selection challenges: Tree placement can affect larger rigs. "I asked not to park my fifth wheel under a hickory tree that was rubbing the top of my recently recoated roof," explained one Cane Creek camper who later experienced damage during a storm.
Reservation timing: Availability varies throughout the year. "We stayed with family and reserved a cabin. Our two family members reserved two RV sites," mentioned a Forest Lake visitor, emphasizing the importance of coordinating group reservations.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Ivory Clay Farm provides a quieter alternative to larger facilities. "This is a great relaxing get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life! As the owners, we love relaxing & enjoying the bonfires, sunsets, wildlife & star gazing," notes a representative.
Children's activities: Structured programs keep young campers engaged. "Plenty of places to tent camp or RV camp! Places to fish things for kids to play on and of course places to shower after! One of my family's favorite places to camp!" shares a Cane Creek visitor.
Family-friendly atmosphere: Some parks cultivate environments where children can socialize. "Lots of kids that play together well," observes a Forest Lake camper who appreciated the social dynamics.
Tips from RVers
Propane services: Jordan Dam RV Park offers convenient refill options. "The RV Park has on-site propane filling, and if you leave your tank on your picnic table, Earl will come and fill it. This was extremely convenient during the winter months, when we were filling one of our tanks every few days," reports a long-term resident.
Site leveling needs: Terrain varies across campgrounds. "Site maintenance man, Earl, will direct you into your site, which was a bit tricky in the site we were in," notes a Jordan Dam RV Park visitor who stayed long-term.
Bathroom facilities: Availability and quality differ between parks. Indian Heritage RV Park features "the nicest bathhouse I've encountered with a very homey living room like entry, very nice, private bathrooms with showers, and a laundry room," according to a cross-country cyclist.
