Nutbush Bridge Campground — Kerr Lake State Recreation Area

The site is directly on the lake. Mere steps from your door. Beautiful view on the adjacent shoreline and bridge. Rocky shoreline. Easy to back in. I only have 2 complaints. The proximity of neighbors. The only thing separating you from site 24 is the tent pad. And the site length listed is a little misleading. It says 40 feet which I assume is true. But we fit our 27 foot travel trailer in there and had a really hard time wedging our tow vehicle (F250) in there. Parked at an odd angle on the tent pad. Wouldn’t choose this site again but definitely recommend for a smaller trailer.

Loved it went tent camping they have electrical hook ups, water, bathrooms clean, shower house clean. Dogs allowed very peaceful and quiet will be going back.

I camped at Nutbush campground on Kerr Lake for a quiet fishing trip. I camped right on the sandy beach area. Fires are allowed and it was great to site and watch the stars at night. Bugs were not too bad either. I could drive right up to my site so it was easy to unload and set up camp.

Sites are not bookable so its first come first served and you can just choose the site that suits you best.

Seemed very safe for children. Take water and all supplied in with you as there is no site store.

The fishing was good and the water was nice to swim and relax from the heat of the summer sun.

It's a decent enough campground, everyone seems to be on top of each other. Not much in the way of trees, but it's really close to the lake. Bathrooms leave a lot to be desired. Definitely a party campground.

Normally Kerr Lake is a favorite of ours, but Nutbush is our least favorite campground so far. At least in Area 3. We thought we would be ok because we were in site 109 at the front of the pack. Wrong. Still awful. It was supposed to be pull through but we couldn’t because it was shared with a neighbor who blocked us in. Electric post was old and one of the receptacles was on the ground. Not good. Water on site, but we didn’t use since we didn’t stay long. Seemed run down compared to the other state parks. Unsupervised children below age 5 in the lake (!) with no adults in sight. Dirty bathhouse. Lots of through traffic. Would not go back.

This is a nice little spot to camp. Took the family out for the weekend and enjoyed it.

We absolutely love this place! Small and quiet in section 1. We stayed in site 19, a little snug but views and location within the park were perfect. Everyone we talked to were very nice and welcoming. The bath houses and restroom of you plan to use them are in rough condition, but can be used with no issue other than a few bugs lol.

Being from Missouri and moved to North Carolina I spent a week here and it has been so far one of the best places for fishing.

Not my favorite campground within the Kerr Lake State Park but still a nice campground. The staff could give a little more attention to the bath house cleaning. Sites are a little more crowded that some of the other parks. There is a boat ramp in the loop of the park that is usable but doesn't offer much room for parking. There is also a bridge the can restrict access to the main lake when the water level is up. Across the street is a larger camping Area 1 and boat ramp that is top of the line.
