Campground is super easy to find, with plenty of signage. Go to the visitor’s center first and get your parking permit if you plan on doing any exploring by vehicle. $5/day or $15/weekend. Zero cell service past Laurel Falls (Verizon). Firewood and other essentials on site for purchase. They take cash or credit! Everything is within a good 20 minute drive. B7 is right on the river. Sounds of the water drown out any neighbors, which makes up for the sites being pretty close to each other.
Went for a quick trip for some cold camping, and I wish I could’ve stayed longer! Great views, spacious sites with plenty of separation between sites, well kept, and quiet even though it was packed. Will absolutely be back, and highly recommend!
Sites are decent size and somewhat spaced out. Planes can be a distraction if you’re not used to the sounds, but the biggest distraction is the noise from other campers. Super popular spot for young families which is cool, but there’s little to no quiet time.
I’ve been to Henderson Point on Kerr Lake multiple times now, and it’s never disappointed! Stayed at sites 16 and 18, and both are great! 19 and 20 don’t seem to always be available to reserve, but a heads up that they are really close to 18 so keep that in mind. Bathrooms are some of the best I’ve ever seen! Super spacious showers, everything seemed newer and was very well cleaned/maintained. Lake is amazingly calm and perfect for kayaking or canoeing. Will continue to visit as often as possible!
Already reviewed back in May, but wanted to do another one for this trip over the opening weekend of Fall since it was busier. Lower loop was completely booked, but you wouldn’t know it by listening. Everyone was extremely courteous of others and nobody was really making any unnecessary noise. Beautiful weather and everyone was out and about riding the trails, kayaking, fishing, and hiking. Absolutely loved it! Bathrooms can be a bit rough, but they do the job. Check out Eldorado Outpost in Troy for a great one stop shop for supplies.
Sites are well kept and mostly shaded. Waterfront sites have great views of the lake and easy access to the water. You’ll get more wind, and in early spring/late fall it can get quite cold, but it’s great during warmer months! Bathrooms could be better- bring your own toilet paper and soap.
Went for the weekend May 6-8. Rough weather forecasts forced a lot of people to cancel, so the campground wasn't full. Those that were there were courteous and friendly. Bathrooms and showers were surprisingly nice! No firewood available on site, but you are allowed to collect dead and downed wood. Stayed in site 16, which had easy access to the lake through a short walk into the tree line. Next to the dumpster but noise/smell not an issue at all. Hiked the Badin Lake Trail and had a great time! Easy trail, made intermediate with sloppy conditions. Be aware though that they're updating the trails and markings, so make sure to grab a map from the camp host and don't fully rely on the maps posted on the welcome boards. This was our first time in Uwharrie, and it definitely won't be our last! This was a great trip, even with less than perfect weather conditions. Can't recommend this site highly enough!
