8 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Carolina Rose Campground offers wooded campsites and cabins accommodating pets throughout their property. The family-friendly environment includes a fishing pond, pool, playground, and petting zoo with goats and chickens that well-behaved leashed pets can enjoy from a distance. Pets must remain on leashes no longer than 6 feet at all times. The campground's cabin accommodations provide comfortable options for those camping with dogs who prefer not to tent camp or use an RV. The cabins are particularly nice and impressively maintained according to multiple visitors. Cobble Hill RV Campground (now Carolina Rose) maintains clean facilities with full hookup sites for RVs and requires pet owners to clean up after their animals. Most sites offer decent privacy with wooded surroundings.
Lake Norman State Park Campground and Midway Campground Resort both permit pets in designated camping areas with specific pet policies. Midway features a small lake for fishing, concrete pads at RV sites, and maintains quiet nighttime hours beneficial for nervous pets. The campground provides a dedicated pet area for exercise. Statesville RV Park I-77 and Tanglewood Park also accommodate pets with varying amenities and restrictions. When camping with dogs in the Woodleaf area, owners should prepare for warm summer temperatures by ensuring pets have adequate shade and water. Most campgrounds enforce standard leash policies and waste cleanup requirements. Local veterinary services are available in Salisbury and Statesville, approximately 15-20 minutes from most camping locations.

"Nice lake to walk around, but paddle boats and center were closed. Lots of ducks that were used to human presence and feeding. Located in a nice sized park. Would definitely go back."
"Site next to one of the lake access trails. Spacious site. We were able to get our 37 ft camper level. Shaded so the a/c s were able to keep up with the heat no issue."

GuideDriving 14 1/2 hrs I was cooked called and had the most easiest booking. There was a sites available so I booked it. Needless to say I got there in the dark and a kind person helped me to my site and got me backed in. Soo exhausted I hooked up electric only hit the bed passed out
ScoutGreat location , clean bathhouse
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 .
GuideStopped in to get a spot for a few nights nights because it said they had available rv spots Unfortunately they didn’t know which end was up and tried to squeeze us into a spot that might have hookups that maybe worked but they couldn’t be sure. It was a joke. We left after waiting several minutes waiting while they were looking for a place to maybe squeeze us in because we had a small camper. No thanks. Would not recommend staying here til they get there act together
RangerThis is a newer campground. It has a stocked pond with beautiful woods surrounding it.
RangerThis is a newer campground. It is peaceful.
ScoutThis is not a resort type campground. It is a place for people to bring old campers to live full time and long term. The electric and water utilities are original from the 50's and there are constant problems with both. There is a lot of unrecognized potential because the owners do not reinvest any money into anything for the campground.
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.

Seasonal considerations: Many campgrounds change their offerings based on season. At Thousand Trails Forest Lake, a camper noted, "Unfortunately a lot of the activity type things (arcade, mini-golf, horseshoes, etc) weren't available because we visited in the off season. Bummer but to be expected even though we had super nice weather."
Highway noise factors: Some pet-friendly sites near major routes experience road noise.
