What to do
Hiking trail access: B.W. Wells Campground offers multiple trails with diverse difficulty levels. "There are plenty of short hikes and a swimming area. The sites are close together but still semi private," notes Heather L.
Fishing opportunities: Anglers have multiple options for catching a variety of fish species. "If you're looking for some really cool outdoors adventures while in these parts, check out Go Ape Zipline and Adventure Park that offers treetop rope trails and adventure courses," recommends Stuart K. about Shinleaf Campground, adding "If you like to fish, there's tons of different varieties here to catch, including: walleye, crappie, white bass, large- and small-mouth bass, blue gill, striped bass as well as catfish."
Kayaking and canoeing: Access the water directly from many campsites. "There is a tremendous amount of hiking and trails to do around here. The Eno River is more than safe to swim or paddle in," states Samantha P. about Eno River State Park.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: At Rolling View, campers appreciate the space between sites. "My husband and I absolutely love this place! Park rangers are friendly, campsites aren't on top of each other and the restrooms and showers are clean. We love seeing the wildlife," reports Sharon M.
Clean facilities: Bathhouses and facilities receive positive reviews for maintenance. "Bathhouses were super clean. And we were a short walk to the lake to fish and hang out near the water," says Melinda J. about Holly Point.
Pet-friendly policies: Most campgrounds welcome dogs, making this area ideal for those seeking dog friendly campgrounds near Creedmoor. "Dogs are welcome here! If you can camp close to the river, I recommend, it's great to fall asleep to the sounds of the river," says Samantha P. about Eno River State Park.
What you should know
Seasonal operation: Campground availability varies seasonally. "Only open Sept 1 to Feb 28th and March 31 to May 14," warns Erin B. about Butner Lake WMA. This seasonal limitation coincides with hunting seasons.
Aircraft noise: The proximity to RDU airport means occasional aircraft noise. "If you're sensitive consider bringing earplugs for your comfort," suggests Jessica H. about Holly Point, noting "The only thing you will contend with is occasional air traffic noise from RDU."
Primitive camping considerations: Some sites lack basic amenities. "Very primitive, but close to town if you need anything. Sites are very close together, no privacy. Most campers are here to hunt so are gone most of the day," explains Billy B. about Butner Lake WMA.
