15 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents150 acres · Yadkinville, NC
Our new BATHHOUSE is now completely functional with toilet, sink and SHOWER!! 🛖 It is centrally located in front of the office at the pond. WE LOVE OUR CAMPERS! ❤ Please respect our land by not bringing firewood from off-site and burning it here. We are a working farm that allows camping, not a campground. Our native trees and crops could easily be devastated by outside diseases or pests that are carried in firewood. We offer firewood for sale from our farm (delivered to your site for no additional fee). You do NOT have to purchase it prior to your arrival, just let us know how much you will need so we will have it ready for you. Our new CAMP STORE offers firewood (delivered to your site!) , meats and eggs from our farm, Tallow & lard (both rendered right here!), drinks, Amish made ice cream and jams/jellies/preserves, hammocks, hammock chairs, smoked dog bones, soaps (made right here), rentals of: cast iron cookware, a tent, Coleman stove, fishing poles, ... and MUCH MORE! Please note that all our sites are reserved with a one vehicle limit. Some sites are large enough to accommodate additional vehicles but each additional vehicle will incur a $10 per night charge. Free parking for additional vehicles is located at the office/store. Check us out for your next camping experience. We promise we will do everything within our power to make it great! Two new nicely wooded sites with pond view are now available to provide easy access even during periods of heavy rain. One is already set up with a new shade tent so you don't even have to bring your own! 🏕 Looking for a camping experience with a little luxury to boot? Look no further than our Oasis at Harmon Creek Farms! You can drive right up to most sites, weather permitting. You will have access to a fire ring and picnic table (located at each site), firewood for sale on site (please do not bring firewood from off-site), clean well water (located near the pond), the creek to explore, our stocked pond to fish, and wooded trails to hike. Once roamed by Native Americans and now farmed by the same family for over 6 generations, Harmon Creek Farm is a working farm of over 150+ acres. Peace, quiet, tranquility and privacy are overflowing along the creek, and hiking throughout the hills on the backside of the farm (and on the other side of the creek) leads to interesting and abundant flora and fauna. The stocked, spring fed pond is 'brimming" with angler challenges🎣 Our cows, pigs, sheep, donkeys, chickens, ducks, quail, and geese are all eager to meet you, as are we! We currently have fresh eggs, pork and beef for sale on site as well. Like us on Facebook (Harmon Creek Farms of NC) for the latest on what's going on here at the farm. :)

The New Forest

4 sites · RVs, Tents82 acres · New London, NC
Located in Uwharrie National Forest, the New Forest features open meadows among stands of pine and mixed hardwoods. Campsites are far apart, each unique and offer the opportunity to commune with nature, and experience camping like it should be, emersed in nature with the opportunity to disconnect from the trappings of our modern, hectic world. This area is one of the richest archeological areas in the entire southeast United States. The location of the first real gold rush, and rich in folklore and bootlegging history, old homesteads and family graveyards are scattered among the hills. Old roadbeds and logging trails abound in the 800 acres of Uwharrrie National Forest directly adjacent to the New Forest Property making for miles of hiking opportunities, wildlife viewing, birdwatching. A 3/4 mile hike to the Taylor Family graveyard is marked with ribbons to guide you to one of the of the many family graveyards. *** A new fun feature for kids is the introduction of our dear friend Debbie Beasley"s art to the trails here in the New Forest. Scattered along the many trails are rocks painted by the one and only Debbie Beasley with cute fluorescent/3-D scenes of nature. Children can keep them as souvenirs from their New Forest camping adventure, or enjoy them while here then re-hide them for other children to find. ❤️ Come see for yourself. If you are looking for a modern, crowded campground this isn't it. However if you want a beautiful, rustic experience in nature, with a few basic amenities and with access to Uwharrie National Forest come see what others have enjoyed so much.

Ancient Spring Farm

3 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents25 acres · Snow Camp, NC
Our farm is a beautiful, private 25 acres with an 1830s house, outbuildings, animals, orchards, gardens, pastures, old trees, wildlife habitat, a spring, and woods. Here you can relax; watch nature; meet our chickens, goats, horse, cats, and dog; learn about archaeology, history, plants, and mead making; and get eggs and homegrown seasonal food. Listen to birdsong and watch clouds during the day, wander a path through our ca. 5 acres of woods, see fireflies in the evening, and star watch at night. Nearby are hiking, horseback riding, historical sites, fishing, antiques, wineries, shooting, and more. We are located in a rural area and have many different domesticated and wild animals so you may hear diverse animal noises and see or smell animal poop, although we try to keep things clean and tidy. Our neighbors have dogs, cattle, and chickens/roosters and occasionally shoot guns during daylight hours (one neighbor is a sporting club with skeet shooting and hunting dogs) but typically our farm is a quiet and peaceful place. We mow regularly and our rooster and chicken ladies wander far and wide eating bugs but, in the summer, they can't get every mosquito and tick so please plan accordingly for your own comfort.

Camping near High Point guide

Overview

Despite its name, High Point sits at just 922 feet in elevation in central North Carolina. But what High Point lacks in height, it makes up for in beautiful lake and forest camping. The town sits just north of the Uwharrie National Forest, a sprawling preserve of pine and oak forests loaded with campgrounds, trail systems, and recreation opportunities on Badin Lake. Multiple river parks are also set near High Point, where you can go fishing, try out paddling, and camp out beneath the stars. It’s also about 90 minutes from the Blue Ridge Mountain foothills, a prime area to experience alpine parks with objectively high points.

Where to go

High Point Surrounds

High Point sits right on Oak Hollow Lake and High Point Lake. The city operates a campground at Oak Hollow Lake with tent and RV camping sites, and kayaks and SUPs can be rented nearby at the Oak Hollow Marina. RV travelers will find RV parks with full hookups and wifi in High Point.

Uwharrie National Forest

The Uwharrie National Forest’s Badin Lake Campground is 60 minutes from High Point and features tent and RV camping sites with picnic tables, fire rings, grills, and restrooms. There are opportunities for fishing, mountain biking, boating, and OHV use throughout this 50,645-acre preserve.

Mayo River State Park

Mayo River State Park is 45 minutes north of High Point at Mayo Mountain. The park has fishing holes, hiking trails through hardwood forest, and paddling access to the Mayo River’s class II rapids.

Pilot Mountain State Park

You can hike, rock climb, and rappel at the 2,000-foot tall Pilot Mountain west of High Point at Pilot Mountain State Park. Camp out among hickory and oak trees at the park’s campground, or paddle on the Yadkin River Canoe Trail.

Stone Mountain State Park

Stone Mountain is a 2,305-foot peak west of High Point that culminates in a 600-foot granite dome. You can summit the mountain, hike among creeks and waterfalls, try some fishing, and camp out at Stone Mountain State Park.

When to go

High Point has a subtropical climate that can make summers hot and humid. Lake or mountain camping is a good way to go during summer visits—meanwhile, spring and fall tend to be pleasant with cool nights. Fall foliage is renowned in the area around the Blue Ridge Mountains, while spring visitors may be treated to gushing waterfalls and wildflowers. In winter, temperatures can drop below freezing and snow is possible.
