    Stone Mountain State Park Campground

    One night only

    We stayed for one night only on our way to Dreher Island SP. We didn't get in until after 4 pm, but there was still enough daylight to see how pretty the campground was. We had site 60 for the night. We tow a 19' a-frame camper with a Toyota Tacoma and had lots of room on the pad. The pad was pretty level so set up was easy. The site also had a huge area for the picnic table and the fire ring is far away from your camper. There was a huge grassy area behind our site with a creek, lots of space for our dog. We were in campground B (electric) and the sites were decent. There wasn't a lot shade for us, but up in the tent area they were surrounded by trees and it looked like they all had tent pads, some better than others. The shower house was nice, clean, flush toilets, and good showers. By the shower house they also had an outside sink to wash your dishes. We didn't get to hike, but everyone said we should if we ever go back. It's on our list to visit again.

    Pilot Mountain State Park Campground

    Local favorite, easily accessible for families

    This campground is located just NW of Winston Salem. The campground is mostly wooded and shady with many rocks. Water and trash are readily available. The bath house is extraordinarily clean, with showers, changing area and clean toilets and sinks. Fire pit and picnic tables are at every site - yet many sites are close together and very rocky for tent camping.

    We enjoy hiking to the top from the campground on well marked trails. The views are great and boulders are fun for the kids to play on!

    Lake Norman State Park Campground

    Fantastic quiet get away

    We stayed in the new glamping cabin #2. Very clean, comfortable bed, nice AC, lovely porch to relax on. All cabins are in walking distance to the bathrooms and showers. Those as well were pretty clean for a camp ground, I was pleasantly surprised. The path to the bathrooms light up at night so you can find your way very easy in the dark. Camp ground itself was very clean and I often saw the staff working on cleaning it and interacting with the campers. The designated swimming area was like a piece of heaven. Small not to overly packed, very clean beach. We plan on coming pack to do tent camping with our dog, fantastic family or romantic couple retreat.

    Thousand Trails Forest Lake

    Very peaceful campground

    I am staying here for two weeks because I have a membership and because I am WFM and it enables me to travel.

    I heard mixed reviews about this campground but since I had a 1000 Trails membership, I figured it was worth checking out.

    It was a beautiful drive from Virginia and though we arrived in early evening, the Rangers were very nice and helped us get checked in.

    The sight was a little uneven and took a bit to level but it is surrounded by trees and very quiet. Most of the yẹar round resident had some kind of Halloween decoration up so the park looked great. They even had a little haunted house set up for the kids.

    All in all, this is a very pleasant campground and makes the membership worth it. It's quiet, it's pretty, and you are right between Lexington and Winston Salem. I'm looking forward to coming back over Christmas.

    Lake Myers RV Resort

    Less of an rv resort, more of a mobile home park

    We had a good experience overall at this campground. The people were friendly and the staff was accommodating. Definitely not the campground to book if you are looking to enjoy the surroundings/scenery as things are very packed in. Close enough to Winston-Salem to do day trips though.

    Mayberry Campground

    Disappointing

    Sites are very close together with just a small spot of outdoor personal space. The campground sits on a hillside with multiple gravel roads. Although the landscaping is nice, there’s no trees near any campsites for shade. It’s right near the main highway which is convenient, but also noisy. No picnic benches on the sites unless you rent one and $10 to rent a fire ring. There’s 2 good-sized ponds for catch and release and also 2 kids playgrounds. There’s on bathhouse near the main entrance as well as laundry facilities. This is an okay place to stay if you plan on not spending much time in the campground.

    Pilot Mountain State Park Campground

    Ranger Review: “GreenBelly’s Meal2Go at Pilot Mountain State Park, NC”

    Campground Review:

    Pilot Mountain State Park is located in Pinnacle, NC, approximately 2.5 hours away from Asheville, NC and is known for it’s giant pinnacle, Pilot Mountain, that rises 2,000 feet into the clouds. At the base of a windy road leading up to Pilot Mountain lies the campground, approximately 2 miles from the top. This beautiful campground was centrally located within the state park and gave quick access to a wide variety of easy to strenuous hiking trails. Most of the trails leave directly from the campground. In addition to hiking, Pilot Mountain is known for it’s steep cliffs that give easy access to rock climbing and rappelling. There is a trail leading from the parking lot and traverses above the climbing area so you have quick access to set anchors from the top. Additional anchors are bolted at the top of most routes for easy top roping. The campground itself offered a fire ring, picnic table, and a man-made flat area to pitch a tent at each site. The sites were somewhat close together but we did not have any issues with noise during our stay. There were several clean bath houses throughout. Each one offered flushing toilets, and hot, running water for showers, all of which were free. There was potable water located next to the site and a separate area to clean dishes. Each site also had a ton of shade. Trees surround every inch of the park so there was plenty of space to hang a hammock and get relief from the burning sun. Most sites looked large enough for the average sized RV. The park’s host drove around checking in and offering $5 bundles of wood. The one negative draw back to this campground is that all the sites are on a slope so when it rains, most likely your campsite will too. The park does require a two-night minimum stay if camping over a holiday weekend. Also be aware that the campground entrance closes at 10 pm. You will not be able to enter or exit until the gate opens the next morning. The closest town is 10 miles away in case you forgot anything. Overall, would highly recommend this campground if you are looking for a great place to rock climb and camp for the weekend. We will be back!

    Product Review:

    As a Ranger for the Dyrt, I get products to test from time to time. During my climbing adventures at Pilot Mountain State Park, I got to test out three different Meal2Go packets from Greenbelly: Cranberry/Almond, Peanut/Apricot and Dark Chocolate/Banana (https:// www.greenbelly.co/products/meal2go?variant=19912486532). Let me start by saying how amazingly delicious these meals are. I’m a super picky eater and when I first saw cranberry and apricot, I had second thoughts about trying. Thank goodness my sense of adventure overcame my lack of tastebud exploration. The Meal2Go products are full of mouth watering flavor that I could eat over and over again which is crucial if spending time in the back country. They contain all natural ingredients and 1/3 of your daily nutrients. It lacked that chemical flavor most hiking bars have giving way to a natural tasting bar. They also had the right balance of chewy yet crunchy. Greenbelly designed these products with backpacking in mind. While we didn’t get a chance to use backpacking, it did supply a ton of energy for a full day of climbing. The one draw back I will say is the weight of the product. Since it was designed for backpacking, I was expecting it to be much lighter for what you get. There are two bars in each packet and the weight is 5.5 ounces. And while that doesn’t sound like a lot, it seemed heavier than my average backpacking bar. I will say though, I’d much rather be carrying slightly more weight in my pack if it meant I get to have a healthier/tastier option while rock climbing or playing in the back country. I would highly suggest checking out this product!

    Pilot Mountain State Park Campground

    Enjoyable tent camping and hiking

    My husband and I just returned from a May visit to this campground. It is fairly small, 43 camp sites. No water and electric hookups which we sort of prefer as it seems to be less attractive to mega sized RVs with noisy generators. It was a ratio of about 75%/25% tents to smaller RVs when we were there. Camp site has raised level tent sites not concrete, but hard packed dirt. Also, picnic table and fire pit. The grill on the fire pit was adjustable for height to the coals which was kind of cool. Bath house was a little rustic but plenty of hot water. Firewood is available from the camp host for $6 a bundle. Cash only. If you’re not in good shape get a site above the bath house. Below the bath house involves a good little climb every time you have to go!

    Best part of this campground is that it is right on the trail to the summit. The first trail is Grindstone Trail which is a 2 1/2 mile up and back. It’s a moderate trail with equivalent inclines, declines, and level switchbacks. I’m 63 and healthy and it was an appropriate challenge for me. To get to the summit it’s about a half mile of strenuous climb on the Ledge Springs Trail. That part is strenuous in my opinion.

    You can also drive up to the summit where you get views of the Yadkin Valley and the knob of Pilot Mountain. It’s crowded up there but accessible for a wide range of people so that’s good. If you don’t prefer crowds go at the beginning or end of the season. Season runs May through October I believe.

    Fairy Stone State Park Campground

    Ranger Review: Banner & Oak Hat at Fairy Stone State Park

    Campground Review:

    We stayed in Yurt#4 for 2 nights at Fairy Stone State Park, about a 4 hour drive from where we live. The Yurt overall was very clean and cozy. The outside of the Yurt looks like it needed a powerwashing, but that didn’t really affect us at all, just kind of unsightly. They have a nice large deck that is great for hanging out on while the kids were asleep. The inside of the Yurt has a full size bed with a twin sized trundle bed that rolls under the full. It also had some rocking chairs inside, a small table and chairs, and a couch. We ended up eating and hanging out inside the Yurt or on the deck most of the time. 

    There are 4 Yurts to choose from. Two of them (Yurts#1 & 2) do not have a parking spot right in front of them, they are a short walk from a parking area, so I made sure to get one that did since we would be arriving after dark. The Yurt we stayed in was a little weird because the Fire Pit and Picnic table is behind and almost under the yurt, down a decently step slope and the yurt sits on stilts on the back side. The Yurt next to us#3 had the fire pit and table right up front next to the parking spot which would be better I think. I would try to get Yurt#3 next time! Overall Yurt camping is so fun! We have done it once before, and it is such a great mix between cabin and tent camping. You get the protection from the elements, a real bed to sleep in, and it’s quick to pack-up- but still a bit rustic since there’s no ac or electricity. 

    There are hiking trails right across the street from the Yurt, which was awesome! The bathrooms and showers were fine and in close walking distance. They could probably use some updating but didn’t have any major issues with them. Overall the campground is pretty big and a bit of a maze getting around, we needed to use the park map a lot! Probably due to the park being so old there are a lot of old buildings not in use that are pretty cool. 

    The park is big and there is lots to do! There is a beautiful lake for swimming Tons of hiking trails. They had a great playground for the kids nearby. They had a concert going on somewhere at the park so we had some beautiful orchestral music playing as we were winding down for bed one night. We saw lots of deer roaming around. Note that there is not great cell service in this area. 

    The place to find the Fairy Stones are outside of the park, down the street a little bit beside a gas station. It was tricky knowing exactly what to look for, but once we found a few Fairy Stones, they were everywhere! So fun searching for them with the kids! 

    It was such a fun trip, very peaceful, beautiful scenery everywhere!

    Product Review:

    As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I get products to test from time to time - we tested out the Banner& Oak Men’s Nebo Hat– Olive  

    The quality of this hat is great. Nice and thick but breathable fabric, durable construction. We’ve put this hat through the ringer so far with sweaty hikes, long beach and lake days, and everyday wear and tear and it has performed spectacularly. The adjustable snapback makes fitting easy. Has a nice shape, looks great! Love this hat’s patch with well-designed graphics and the neutral olive color– goes with everything. Will definitely purchase again! Also appreciate the fact that the hats are made in the USA! It is my husband’s new go-to daily hat and I think it will last for a long time.

Guide to Winston-Salem

Glamping options near Winston-Salem offer a mix of comfort and rustic charm across the Piedmont region of North Carolina. Set in rolling hills at elevations between 900-1,200 feet, this area experiences mild seasonal changes with warm summers and cool winters. Fall camping brings spectacular foliage displays, particularly in late October when temperatures typically range from 45-70°F.

What to do

Fishing at multiple ponds: Forest Lake's camping area features stocked fishing spots where even novice anglers can find success. "I caught 2 sunfishes in 30 min & I'm no fisherman," reports a visitor at Forest Lake RV and Camping Resort.

Hiking at Stone Mountain: The 2-mile Grindstone Trail leads to spectacular summit views that showcase the surrounding countryside. "We hiked to the top on the Grindstone Trail (about 2 miles) to the top and enjoyed an early morning view of the surrounding communities," explains a camper from Stone Mountain State Park Campground.

Mountain biking near Pilot Knob: Trails ranging from beginner to advanced provide terrain for riders of all levels. A visitor mentions, "We kayaked along the Yadkin River and camped at one of the canoe campsites. Great trails for hiking and beautiful views of the piedmont from the top of the knob."

What campers like

Private tent platforms: Oak Hollow's unique platform camping creates a more comfortable experience for tent campers. A visitor notes, "This was our first time setting up on a platform and it was very easy. Our site had a great view of the beautiful lake."

Extended seasonal camping: The camping season at Pilot Mountain State Park Campground runs from March 15 to November 30, giving visitors nearly nine months to enjoy the outdoors. "Very quiet campground. Felt safe park rangers made trips around and just really enjoyed relaxing," shares one camper.

Winter camping options: Several Winston-Salem area campgrounds operate year-round, making winter glamping a possibility. According to one camper at Holly Ridge Family Campground: "Great owners. Full hook ups with WiFi, pool, playground, game room, small store, bath house, laundry facilities and more. Dog friendly."

What you should know

Site leveling challenges: Many sites require additional equipment for proper RV leveling. A guest at Midway Campground Resort advises, "This place is nice, but you will need to check your site to see if you will be able to get your rv level."

Highway noise considerations: Some campgrounds near Winston-Salem sit close to major highways, creating ambient noise. A visitor to Greensboro KOA mentions, "As previously mentioned, serves its purpose for an overnight. Right off the highway, and by that I mean you see, and HEAR the traffic. Nothing ear plugs and a long day can't fix."

Seasonal facility closures: Certain amenities close during off-season months despite year-round camping availability. One camper notes, "Unfortunately a lot of the activity type things (arcade, mini-golf, horseshoes, etc) weren't available because we visited in the off season."

Tips for camping with families

Look for campgrounds with dedicated kids' activities: Midway Campground offers numerous child-friendly options. "This campground was breathtaking, with the activity area for kids, pool, fishing pond, and small walking trails," explains a recent visitor.

Consider glamping yurts for easier family stays: Mayberry Campground provides comfortable accommodations that work well for families with young children. A visitor notes, "Great family friendly, pet loving campground. Most sites are spacious, all rv sites have full hookups."

Plan around summer heat: In July and August, temperatures regularly exceed 85°F, making water activities essential. "We tent camped on Aug 28. This was our first time setting up on a platform and it was very easy. Our site had a great view of the beautiful lake. There was a pool our kids could swim in until 7:00pm."

Tips from RVers

Bring extension cords: Some electric hookups require longer connections than standard. A visitor cautions, "I was excited to have a lake view spot with electric but my 25 foot cord was not long enough so make sure you have atleast 50 feet."

Reserve well ahead for weekends: Popular glamping options near Winston-Salem fill quickly, especially Friday through Sunday. "This place is full on the weekends so reserve in advance," advises a camper at Mayberry Campground.

Check shower facilities before booking: Bath houses vary significantly between campgrounds. A visitor to Stone Mountain State Park shares, "The bathrooms were heated, clean and the men's bathroom had two showers."
