    Double L Farms Campground

    Feels like Home

    We found this place last year. We stayed for a month and had to come back this year for a month. Lisa & Brian are the nicest people you could ever meet. Place is very clean Bathrooms are Great. Not much to do but peaceful. Hate to leave but must move on. We'll be back.

    Double L Farms Campground

    Countryside Pasture Camping @ Its Best

    Not everyone's idea of a great camping experience involves being completely surrounded by farm animals on an actual working ranch - so if the thought of this bothers you, then stop reading this review and mosey on to another campground. For my entire family, we absolutely loved the cows, horses, donkeys, chickens, guinea hens, ducks, turkey, cats, dogs and other animals we came across during our stay. In fact, our daughters thought the farm animals were the best part of our camping trip!

    As for Double L Farms Campground itself, this place is located outside of Lumberton and just a 20 minute or so drive from the heavy trafficked I95 highway corridor, but here at Double L, you'll feel a million miles away from the hectic realities of urban life. The campground is fairly modest in size and has only enough space for a couple dozen RVers / tent campers, but I don't really get the feeling that you'll ever have a problem finding a spot here, so it's up to you whether you want to make a reservation by calling ahead or just 'wing it.' The hosts, Brian & Lisa, were easily some of the best campground hosts we've ever had and they definitely make this experience a 5 star encounter as the duo went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed and even provided recommendations on local spots in the surrounding areas.

    From an amenities standpoint, there's a quaint, well-maintained bathhouse with showers and toilets. Inside you'll also discover that the bathhouse is actually multi-purpose and equipped with A/C, washing machine, has WiFi and even a microwave. Of course, there's full RV hook-ups with 30 / 50 electrical amp, sewage and water lines. The best amenity though? The free rooster alarm clock you'll hear around 5:30am every morning! All this for $25 a night? Yeah, it's a very good price for what you get.

    Insider's tips? Here's a few: (1) I think the best sites are those located furthest back on the property near the field, where you can gaze up at the stars at night with an unobstructed view, but really, all of the sites are pretty good, so you can't really go wrong with any of the sites; (2) There does appear to be some more permanent residents living in trailers here, but it wasn't that big of a deal and we didn't mind; (3) With 46 acres of farmland, there's plenty to explore and we really enjoyed hiking around the place, but if you want to venture out and try some different locations for hiking, I highly recommend Luther Britt Park where there's some pretty good lakeside hiking trails; (4) For the kiddos, if you need to get away and see something a bit more educational then try out Exploration Station in downtown Lumberton; (5) Should you run out of any supplies or find yourself in need of anything, the closest store is Family Dollar which is just due west of Double L and while no frills, they should have just about everything you need to tied you over in a fix- and if not, head on into Lumberton for many more options; and (6) When you grow tired of trying to conjure up that next meal from the depths of your Cordova roto-molded cooler or on-board mini-fridge and want to explore some great local fare, then check out The Governor Place for brisket burger and duck fries with alioli or Tony B's Chicken & BBQ for superb brisket where Tuesday is chicken & pastry day (which is pretty much like chicken dumplings).

    Happy Camping!

    Wonderful, No Frills Campground

    Wonderful, small, relaxing campground. Large, level, FHU sites. Some permanent trailers and seasonal campers, mostly occupied by traveling healthcare professionals. Well maintained. Campground is surrounded by the owners farmland. Horses, cows, donkeys, chickens. Simple and peaceful. The owner, Lisa was the best we’ve ever encountered and we’ve camped in all of the lower 48. Well maintained. We will definitely return!

    Kinda buggy

    Lots of sand and gnats and deerflys too. That’s the bad. About half the sites have full hookup some very large sites. Whole campground very wooded ( no Starlink here). About 3 bars cell with Verizon. Pretty neat campground with lots of history. The bugs are seasonal.

    Great stay off I95

    Fun place. There were happy chickens roaming around. The camp host were really nice and showed us where to set up. The bathroom was very clean. There are horses, cattle, chickens and a turkey. The animals come to say hi. The kids loved our stay. Right off I95. Great over night stay.

    Farm Camp. Right by road so was a little loud at night but manageable. Bugs so don’t forget bug spray. Rooster alarm. Great place! Will definitely stay again.

    Cheraw State Park Campground — Cheraw State Park

    Peaceful and uncrowded

    We recently returned from 5 days tent camping at Cheraw. We chose site #8 that was directly on the lake and offered electricity and water. These sites are obviously designed for RV’s with little or no space for tent campers. Although there is a designated tent area, it is back in the woods and not lakefront.

    The minimal room we had was fortunately on the lake shore with wonderful shade trees.  The space was not level and contained some unfriendly exposed tree roots. Fortunately we had an inflatable air bed and the roots weren’t much of a problem. 

    Lake Juniper is quite small and swimming is allowed in a designated area on the far side of the lake. We had inflatable rafts and tied our floats to a tree in front of our site , highly aware that a spillway not too far from our site would prove quite dangerous if one went too close then pulled over.

    The small office on the opposite side of the lake offers ice and wood as well as ice cream, candy etc to satisfy any junk food craving. 10 minutes from the park is an IGA. It offers the basics and a little further out is a Walmart with groceries.

    The bathhouse is currently “ under construction” although we saw no work being done during our stay. One half of the bathhouse had been designated unisex with three locking stalls and curtained showers. There is an interior lock if you choose to have the entire bathhouse all to yourself. I grew up in a family of eight and have no problem sharing a bathroom. The bathhouse has obviously seen a great deal of traffic, is quite dated and poorly ventilated. Hopefully the bathhouse will receive its update soon.  

    The campground host was quite helpful and an all around nice guy. We chatted a bit and he has a very interesting background.

    We would return to Cheraw and confidently reserve #7 or #8 for tents. There are most likely other suitable sites there that escaped my notice.

    Worth a stay

    Cheraw state Park was an overall good camping experience. We stayed in the tent camping area, which was well kept. My only complaint is that the sites are somewhat close together, but it's not a huge deal. Park is well kept and the sights are worth seeing. Plenty of trails to walk down, with a boardwalk that covers the side of lake juniper.

    Good for an overnight stay.

    This campground also has mobile homes residents.  The area seems to have a lot of poverty, but the campground was well maintained and felt safe.  $25 for 50 amp, water, sewer.  The campground hostess met us at our campsite to orient us to the place.  She gave us clear directions to  the campground and we still had a little difficulty finding it.

    Nice quick spot off of I-95

    I just needed a quick stop to stay overnight in my hammock to break up a long drive. Very friendly owners got me set up quickly and I had a great peaceful rest to get back on the road fresh in the morning.

    Tent

    I spent one night here, the hosts were great, the site itself is very relaxing, can walk up and pet the animals. The bathroom there compares with the bathroom at your house. Would give 6/5 if I could

    Awesome overnight

    Lisa was super helpful! We arrived after 9pm (that 95 traffic!) and Lisa was there right away to direct us to the site. They made sure we were all set up and then checked on us again as we headed out at 7am. Definitely will stay again!

    Hidden gem

    Small, but really nice. A lot of sites right on the water. Lots of trees, really quiet. Nice boardwalk and nature trails nearby, with rental gear available.

    Not much around the campground though. If you want peace and quiet, and don't need shopping or touristy stuff- this is for you.

    (We are in 17ft travel trailer)

    Very nice people

    Lisa and Brian are very nice people. It's like down right home feeling. Only one problem there is a person that there that likes to start a lot of trouble and makes it seem like she's so innocent so beware other than that I had a wonderful time there

    Sugarloaf Mountain

    A great place to get away during the pandemic

    This was our second time visiting “The Mountain”. We enjoyed Site 1B so much from our last visit we decided to reserve the same site again. There was some trash from previous campers littered around the site when we arrived. Please don’t be a litterbug! This is a terrific boondocking site and one of the few in the Midlands that is accessible for RV camping.

    Simple but nice

    Lee State Park is a simple park. Check out the artesian wells and other nature spots. Bath houses were well kept. Only drawback would be this park is an equestrian park so you will most likely encounter flies during the warmer months. Sites are better than some state parks we have visited.

    Fine for what it was

    Have waited six months into our RV life to start reviews for fair comparisons. Spent four nights. This was our first stop and one of our least favorites. Rough “roads” inside park with big ruts that filled with rain, horrific mosquitos (and we’re from SC for a baseline). Having the horses around was fantastic. Not a lot to do. That being said, this stop was perfect for what it was. Just getting far enough out of town to feel like the adventure started, but four nights there to get used to our RV. Great dog walking areas.

    NOT ENOUGH STARS!

    Lisa and Brian are some of the nicest people I've ever met, Lisa is the epitome of Southern charm and hospitality and Brian my brother in arms my shipmate gave me a much needed lesson in sawmills which I appreciate more than he will ever know! Their place is a lil slice of heaven and a welcome escape from the world let their animals sooth your whoas and leave a better person and let me tell you leaving was hard. Thanks Lisa and Brian you will not be forgotten easily!

    Love it

    Amazing! Brian and Lisa have done an amazing job making their place welcoming to all. A working farm that even had the dog smiling at the end of the day. We hated to leave but plan to go back!! Thanks, Marty and Katy
