This is a gem in a hiding place. The best experience for us was hanging in the water of the access point

@NickiH45A1A6A8 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #5

I hardly got any sleep. Someone in the next site ran a generator all night and said they were told by the person they made the reservation with that it was ok to run it all night. When they did turn it off during the day the whole campground cheered! Then it was back on at night!!

@MichaelB697476 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #4

Neighboring campers had their generator on all day and all night. No park employee was ever seen doing rounds of the campground, so we ended our weekend early to avoid sleeping to the loud sound of that generator

@DavidW7736336 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #13

Site #13 is the go-to spot for lake access. Very clean campsite, 2 tables, and perfect trees for hammocking.

@LaraM2193714 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #6

We have been coming to this campground and this particular site for the past four years. It has just been going downhill each year. The tent sites are hard and rocky - so hard that you cant even hammer in tent pegs. We did not see the site manager the entire three days we were there. The ladies toilet was not working all three days. Shower water too hot to use in July. On our third night there a group of people rolled into the site next to us at 3 AM and were extremely loud and disruptive. We werent able to go back to sleep until 5 AM. Then we were woken again at 6:30 by the same group of people, making loud vomiting noises, laughing obnoxiously, and yelling to each other across the campsite. Still no sign of the campground host. Several surrounding guests were very annoyed and even ended up packing up and leaving early because of them. When my husband mentioned to one of the women that they had woken us up, her baby daddy went on a tirade for 45 minutes about how he was going to physically assault my husband, including threatening that he had a gun. All of this in front of our children. We never did see the camp post. Unfortunately until this campground gets better management I dont think well be coming back.

@HunterGFB249CC · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #11

Camp host only present half of the first day. The showers were filthy and horrifically hot!!! Ran out of toilet paper. Cancelled early and left then tried to be refunded for the remaining 3 nightsstill no answer and told unable to process online. Will not be back nor will I recommend.

@JodyW3597508 · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #9

Our campsite was amazing. So peaceful and spacious. We always have the best time here at uwharrie. So much to do and see. Love this place.

@EmilyR2265278 · Camped on Jun 16, 2024 at Campsite #15

This place was great! Finally - a place on a lake that has easy access to said lake all over. Glorious.The facilities were nice and well maintained. Always got a good, quiet night's sleep.Definitely go to Morrow Mountain State Park - it was AWESOME.

@HaleyND54F0B11 · Camped on Jun 9, 2024 at Campsite #5

Kids had a blast, we go every year!

@JohnM1144946 · Camped on May 30, 2024 at Campsite #29

Lots of great sites with Lake view or lake access. Road leading in is pot hole filled, drive slow.

@RobertF6718628 · Camped on May 10, 2024 at Campsite #6

The bathrooms could use an update and more cleaning.

@LyssaHF42ED3B9 · Camped on May 6, 2024 at Campsite #16

Loved this area! Our campground host was great. The bathrooms were decently clean (missing a few tiles in the showers and you'll be sharing the space with a few creepy crawlies) and there are multiple water spouts for drinking. The waterfront site we stayed at was lovely and semi private with a direct path to the water. Lots of different trail options, each site has a picnic table, firepit, pole, and dedicated tent area. Sunsets/rises are gorgeous on the water, looks like a good place to paddle as well.

@MeghanD4278425 · Camped on May 3, 2024 at Campsite #11

Campsite was great and lake was stunning. The trash in the lake, carpet remnant and old tire, werent as nice. The weather wasnt great so we had to leave early, but we enjoyed our one night and hope to be back soon.

@KevinT2315580 · Camped on May 2, 2024 at Campsite #7

Had a blast at our camp out, rained and made the the trails just right for the jeep ! Camped in the lower loop, bathrooms were well kept and clean as well as the shower ! Cant wait to return end of May

@HansG11CD1D09D · Camped on May 2, 2024 at Campsite #18

Nice and simple campground, a bit outdated...

@PhyllisW290499 · Camped on Apr 30, 2024 at Campsite #27

Great place, quiet and peaceful

@RobertH1222975 · Camped on Apr 18, 2024 at Campsite #9

Bathrooms are not as nice as many places, but were reasonably clean. Still no soap provided! Roads very rough. View and atmosphere were amazing, as always

@DavidS3927304 · Camped on Apr 6, 2024 at Campsite #15

Loved the campsite! Very clean and the nearby bathrooms and trash dumpster were very nice!

@MiltonR057DFD5 · Camped on Apr 6, 2024 at Campsite #23

The one night that we camped, there was very quiet and relaxing. The bathroom was clean and working. The security cable holding the picnic table down should hidden out of the way so no one trips over it. The next time we return we will get a site closer to the lake.

@AmberW7269041 · Camped on Mar 24, 2024 at Campsite #9

There was someone in my reserved spot when I arrived but the host was very helpful in fixing the issue. This campground seems to stay pretty busy but it was overall quiet and clean. Lots of recreation nearby.

@EdR3120013 · Camped on Mar 15, 2024 at Campsite #25

We really enjoyed the trails and the sites were well maintained. The bathrooms were fairly well maintained and there was water onsite. With no ranger or staff seen throughout the weekend several sites were disappointing as they were drunken party zones with plenty of loud music and F-bombs for all.

@SarahB5025907 · Camped on Feb 23, 2024 at Campsite #11

The campsite & bathrooms were clean, and theres nothing better than a campsite on the water!! absolutely loved this site

@MatthewR956812 · Camped on Feb 22, 2024 at Campsite #5

I enjoy trying to find new places to explore and camp. I loved my stay here. Brought my 7yo son with. We both had a great time. We brought our canoe and fished, enjoying all coastline the lake had to offer. Being offseason, it wasnt crowded. The camp host Crystal was very friendly and made us feel at home. Bathrooms were very clean. We will definitely be coming back.

@JamesRD4943773 · Camped on Feb 10, 2024 at Campsite #5

Overall the stay was great,no one bothered us or our belongings and easy access to the forest. Unfortunately the site #5 was not as pictured on the website,the shower water Was pretty cold ,had to do a jump in and out to soap up/ rinse and the light in the male toilet room was out. Other than that great views day or night!!

@AmberW7269041 · Camped on Feb 4, 2024 at Campsite #13

Enjoyed my stayed at this campground. Great access to the lake and a hiking trail on site. Sites were clean and well maintained. Restroom and shower facilities were nothing fancy but clean and functional.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
