      RV Resort At Carolina Crossroads

      Nice place with a few cons

      Nice level pull through concrete site with paved road. Good hook ups, clean facilities, nice dog park and clean pool/hot tub. Close off 95, but far enough you don't hear it at all. We even got a gazebo site, which was awesome. They even allow you to wash your rig. Only negatives, are not much in the area to do, no cable or wifi and absolutely no antenna service. Shopping, Walmart, gas and chain restaurants close by. Would definitely stay here again.

      RV Resort At Carolina Crossroads

      Sweet Community

      This is a surprisingly zen spot for what is basically a parking lot surrounded a pine plantation. The community is very friendly and includes a lot of long-term residents, some of whom even have little veggie gardens. There's a lovely little pool and hot tub (unfortunately for the youth, they aren't allowed in the latter), a pool table, a grill, a little putt-putt golf course, and a nice dog park. There is also (at least on the women's side) a very nice universal access shower suite. And some of the spots come with sweet little gazebos to hang out in! I was permitted, with only a few hours notice, to arrive after office hours, for which I was very grateful.

      Goose Creek State Park Campground

      Great and New Campground

      Goose Creek State Park campground is one of the newer state parks in North Carolina. The RV part of the park has a great layout with large sites. The park is very flat with full hookups and a large patio/picnic area. They also have cabins.

      We stayed at one of the full hook up RV sites with our Riverside Retro 199FKS and it actually looked small in the site. We had more than enough room.

      You are far enough away from Washington, NC that you don't get great cell coverage so, it is almost like going off the grid. I think I had service if I sat outside with my left leg propped up (just kidding). 

      Since this park is so new, there are not many trees or vegetation to provide privacy between sites. I think this park will be great once the plants grow in - don't skip for this reason - still go, just know that you won't have a lot of privacy.

      Goose Creek State Park Campground

      Serene

      This campground is nestled in the tall North Carolina pines. There isn’t much shade though because the branches are mainly at the top. The camp sites are long and have plenty of room between camp sites. The campground has been recently redone and includes some cute cabins. We went on a boardwalk hike there. It said that red wolves and bear live on the area. We only saw deer.

      Goose Creek State Park Campground

      Hidden Gem with trails and sound access

      This place is a gem of a state park!!!!

      Since it's not right next to the coast it's relatively quiet and not crowded. I went here on the tail end of a mid September weekend and found the entire campground to myself! That is unheard of on the West Coast! There is a beautiful sound access.

      This is boutique car camping! There are only 14 camping spots all nicely spaced from each other and in a wooded location. Sites 11-14 are around a little peninsula on the sound so all have some water view. There are a handful of water spouts around the campground, and each site has a parking spot, campsite, table and a lamp hanger. The lamp hanger took me a while to figure out since we don't have these on the west coast it is a suspended hook that looks a bit medieval on first glance.

      Bring your paddle boards or canoe to float around the sound. There is a great outline of a 3 mile canoe trail mapped out by the put in. (see my photos)

      Ohhhh and it goes without saying near the North Carolina sound BRING BUG SPRAY. This is serious deet country.

      Pettigrew State Park Campground

      Beautiful campground with some short distance trails along Phelps Lake

      We camped in the State campground at Pettigrew State Park. It is a small campground with just a few camp sites. We usually overnight there on the way to the NPS campgrounds on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, though it is nice enough to justify a stay if you find yourself in the area. We visited in March, so insects were not a problem, though your experience may be different if you visit during the warmer months, as much of the area surrounding Lake Phelps is cypress swamp.

      I little about the campground amenities: it is modest and good for tent camping. Though there is room for RVs, there aren't electrical and water hookups, though most who were there were in RVs. Each site has a fire ring with a grill and firewood is available for a nominal fee. There is a bathhouse with toilet and shower facilities.

      The natural beauty is worth the visit. From the campground it is an easy walk to the lake. We were able to see an impressive sunset from the lake shore. There is an out and back 1.5 mile trail, for a total of 3 miles, that follows the lake, taking you through the Somerset Place State Historic Site. The walk passes through the swamp with many large cypress and sycamore trees. At the end of the trail is a walkway to the lake along an irrigation canal.

      Enfield - Rocky Mount KOA

      No Frills, Full Hookups I-95 Waysration

      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.

      Family Campground — Merchants Millpond State Park

      Not bad

      Campsites are nice but be careful the wooden borders is included in dimensions. Nice bathrooms with hot showers. Over 5 miles of easy hiking good for everyone. Gas station right outside visitor center entrance in case you forget anything. Not very many people here so its nice and quiet.

    Guide to Windsor

    Campgrounds near Windsor, North Carolina offer varying terrain options from riverside settings to woodland environments. The region experiences distinct seasons with summer temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F from June through September. Winter camping remains viable with temperatures typically staying above freezing, though occasional cold snaps can bring overnight lows into the 20s.

    What to do

    Kayaking on local waterways: The Cashie River Campground provides direct river access for paddlers. "About 200 yards from river, which is perfect for kayaking," notes Never Sitting S. who stayed at Cashie River Campground and Treehouse Village.

    Explore cypress swamps: Merchants Millpond State Park offers a unique paddling experience through ancient cypress trees. "Taking a canoe or kayak out to explore the pond and swamps is a must and total unique experience. Turtles, birds, cypress trees, and alligators," reports Boone who camped at Family Campground — Merchants Millpond State Park.

    Fishing opportunities: Lake Phelps at Pettigrew State Park provides excellent fishing. One camper reported: "I caught 7 large mouth bass and saw a lot of perch. 2 of them were keepers so I want to come back out again just to fish," according to Justin C. who stayed at Pettigrew State Park.

    What campers like

    Natural water features: The clear waters at Pettigrew State Park impress visitors. "The water is amazing! The deepest part of the lake is 9' so you are able to walk around most of the lake. My kids loved this," shares Justin C. who camped at Pettigrew State Park Campground.

    Well-maintained facilities: Campgrounds in the Windsor area typically keep their facilities clean. "Bathrooms near camp site. Wildlife walks right by, several deer on our trip," notes Charles G. about Goose Creek State Park.

    Privacy between sites: Rocky Hock Campground receives praise for its spacious layout. William P. who stayed in winter mentioned: "Wanted to try out a new tent in the snow, was the only camper, and had a huge plot to myself. All RVers were polite and kept to themselves and were quiet." Campers at Rocky Hock Campground appreciate the thoughtful site design.

    What you should know

    Weather considerations: Hurricane season can impact camping plans. One camper at Green Acres Camping Resort reported: "The storm hit hard and the campground lost power for two full days. When my family arrived, the power was still out and it was unbelievable hot and humid, so we ended up having to get a hotel nearby."

    Limited cell service: Some campgrounds have spotty coverage. "Internet is spotty. Turn your cellular data on," advises Evelyn O. who stayed at Goose Creek State Park Campground.

    Water access issues: Water hookups can vary in quality between campgrounds. "Water service is inadequate, it's a water meter box that is in the ground under water itself," noted Geri B. about Cashie River Campground.

    Tips for camping with families

    Swimming options: Several parks offer swimming areas for children. "The lake is the second largest in NC, so we spent about 6 hours just swimming, fishing and kayaking within eyesight of the dock," reports Justin C. about Pettigrew State Park.

    Educational opportunities: Historic sites provide learning experiences. "The plantation is a neat part of history and I learned a ton about this area and park though the slave history is pretty sad," shares Kristi D. who visited Pettigrew State Park.

    Wildlife viewing: Children often enjoy spotting local animals. "We took kayaks and paddle boards with us and put right in at the dock. Good places to explore around on the water. I had several 13 year olds for a birthday trip and they had fun," writes Charles G. about his stay at Goose Creek State Park.

    Tips from RVers

    Campsite selection: At Cashie River, certain sites accommodate larger rigs better. "Stayed in #6 which was very long and easy to pull through," reports Never Sitting S. who appreciated the accessibility at Cashie River Campground.

    Overnight stops: Williamston provides convenient lodging for those traveling through. "Perfect overnight. All the amenities and friendly staff. Got us in ASAP. Easy access off 64," notes Jon S. about Green Acres Camping Resort.

    Long-term options: Some parks accommodate extended stays. "Best RV Park in Williamston NC. Clean, safe, affordable rv park that offers long term options," reports Lewis W. about Treeside RV Park for those needing pet-friendly camping near Windsor, North Carolina with longer reservation periods.
