Decent campground with a pond for fishing, a swimming pool, and a store. The pool doesn’t have normal steps that you walk down into the pool on, they only have the ladder steps which make it a little tricky getting in with a small child. There is no access to the lake from the campground, but the lake is close by. Very friendly staff. The bathrooms/showers have no ac.

good campground 

Great little gem in the area to avoid the chaos and calamity with the other Uwharrie area campgrounds. Very quiet and peaceful.
Spacious lots in a wooded setting, includes a pool, walking trails, and access to Lake Tillery. Ice and firewood available onsite. Bath-houses are dated. Campground staff is super friendly and eager to make your stay comfortable.

Quiet & peaceful

Older campground but full of charm. Lot of hiking paths which our dog loved. Owners were very nice to deal with. Although we did not do much they have a fishing pond, a very nice kids playground. A short hike and you are on Lake Tilery  excellent internet service. We will stay again. It was a very peaceful stay. 

Enjoyed our stay !!

Wonderful campground! Vintage without being run down. The owners have done a great job of retaining the "old school" charm of the place (originally established 1964 I think?) while keeping up with utilities and overall functionality. We particularly appreciated the intact tree canopy; many rv parks these days are sun baked parking lots but not here. I estimated roughly 60/40 hardwood/pine and there's sun or shade when you want either. General store, ice, firewood, propane refill all on-site. Playground and swimming pool clean and in good condition. The bath houses near our site were clean and functional, though I don't think they were the main ones. Lake Tillery 2 minutes away by foot (slip is private for campers I believe), Badin lake a short drive, Uwharrie NF a short drive. In our time here fellow campers were outgoing and friendly, relaxed and having a good time but without any of the riff-raff or over indulgence. This was our first visit, but coming from the nearby Charlotte area it's our new go-to campground.

Truly excellent

My family needed a weekend getaway but far from home. This place was amazing. Great playground, pool and relaxing time!

Great family time!

The owners are all super friendly and helpful. The laundry room, bathrooms, and showers are all sparkling clean. We were very happy with our stay here!
