CG's in Western NC

[Toad Haul]

Hey All! We just relocated the Huntersvill, NC from Indiana. In Indiana the State Parks were phenomenal and everywhere.

Here we've not found the same experience so we're looking for some help with camping locations. Also if there are any camping groups in this area that would let us meet other folks. We have a Class C, and enjoy fishing, hiking a biking whenever we're out. We also have two miniature dachshunds that go with us.

Does anyone have recommendations for campgrounds here? We'd prefer to have at least power and water hookups, but water isn't critical. Bit seems most of the SP's we've checked out are more boon docking types of places.

So, any suggestions for us? We're also always looking to meet others so anyone involved in groups?

Thanks for any help. We absolutely love it here and can't wait to get out.

It isn't a SP but there are a bunch of us meeting in Mount Airy, NC for the 1st Annual Mayberry FRG F.R.O.G Rally at the end of May. You can read all about it and find the sign up info in the first post Here.

You need to update your profile, you are still in Brownsburg according to the info below your avatar!

Not western NC but Kerr Lake and Jordan Lake are nice state parks that have water and electric hook ups. MAyberry campground is pretty but does have some highway noise. Koa Asheville east frontiers are tight but back sites are by the lake. You will get train noise there. cross winds in Linwood is nice.

There are Federal camp grounds on W. Kerr Scott Dam and Reservoir

in Wilksboro. They do have water and electric.

I could go on for days, every state park in NC and SC have been GREAT!

JC Cooper Campground- Kerr Lake NC. Big fish, large beautiful lake, lakefront with electric and water, very scenic with great sunsets and allows pets. $19/nt if you are a senior.

Mama Gertie's Hideaway in Swannanoa (between Black Mountain and Asheville) is our favorite campground of all time. I'll try to post a pic below of our campsite from this September. They are open all year.

If you have dogs, Four Paws Kingdom in Rutherfordton will probably become YOUR favorite campground. Check their website to see how unique they are.

Also agree with those who mentioned Cross Winds in Linwood (near Lexington), Jordan Lake and Dan Nicholas Park (operated by Rowan County).

About five of the top-of-the-mountain "view sites" at Mama Gerties have the swings and balconies. All of the sites at the top have great mountain views and some have large grassy front yards for viewing.

We like Camp Fire Lodgings near Asheville, views are similar to the pictures of Mama Gerties

Lots of great campgrounds in NC, and you can enjoy them year-round.

What part of western NC are you wanting to know about?

[jkoenig24]

Although not a campground, the Biltmore Estate is in western NC and, is well worth the time to visit and explore. It is on the pricey side but, I know that discount coupons can be found.

Roan Mountain S/P in Tennessee just across state line from Boone & Banner Elk North Carolina. Nice area & near Grandfather Mtn.

We have gone to the Davidson River to fish for years. The campground is in the Pisgah national Forest near Brevard, NC. Large campground with campsites along the river if you are lucky. Sections of the river are good for tubing and swimming in Summer. Lots to see in the area. This area is one of the waterfall centers of NC. We also like Julian Price Park, near Boone and Blowing Rock. There are so many good places to camp in NC it's hard to pick a favorite. You've got the Outer Banks on the coast to Mountains in the West. Have fun.

Mountain Stream RV Park just north of Marion. Small (32? Sites) superbly maintained, a lot of sites are on Buck Creek. Nice pup playground. 5 or 6 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Pretty much zero cell phone reception, they do have wifi via satellite but it's very limited. That might be a deal breaker for some but we found it peaceful!

I still haven't head what the OP considers western NC.


We stayed in western NC(Murphy) a couple weeks ago and drove all over the area. That's about as far west as you can go in NC. Just want a clarification before I give unneeded info.

Question on Mama Gerties...thier site says full hook ups but they have a dump station...do the sites have sewer?
