Spacious Skies Sandy Run

61 RV Sites

Spacious Skies Sandy Run in Fayetteville, North Carolina, offers 61 full-hookup RV sites beneath longleaf and loblolly pines, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 90 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Back-in and pull-through categories with concrete patios join standard and water-and-electric tiers, with an outdoor pool, jumping pillow, gem mining, and pond. Sixty-one sites span back-in, back-in with concrete patio, pull-thru, pull-thru with concrete patio, and pull-thru water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 90 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric pull-through does not carry sewer at the site. Ninety feet is exceptional and accommodates the longest coaches with a tow. Cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. All guests check in at the main office and sign the terms — e-signature in advance is encouraged. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a jumping pillow, gem mining, walking trails, hiking, biking, a pond, creek, playground, pavilion, and dog park filling the rest. Fishing and swimming round it out. Pets are welcome. The Sandhills pine forest gives the property genuine character, and the position serves a specific market well — Fort Liberty, the largest Army installation in the country, is less than an hour north, which brings a steady flow of military families and visitors alongside travelers on the Cape Fear corridor. Spring and fall are most comfortable in the Sandhills. Reserve ahead for graduation and change-of-station periods.

Sycamore Lodge Resort

19 RV Sites

Sycamore Lodge Resort in Jackson Springs, North Carolina, provides a lake resort camping experience in Moore County's Sandhills country, where the long-leaf pine and wire grass ecology of the North Carolina Sandhills creates a distinctive natural environment and the proximity to Pinehurst's legendary golf courses and the Uwharrie National Forest's hiking and off-road vehicle terrain makes this corner of the Carolina Piedmont a more recreation-rich destination than its modest visitor profile suggests. The resort's private lake, boat docks, cabins, hot tub, and comprehensive recreation roster create a self-contained family vacation experience in a natural setting that preserves the Sandhills character of one of the Southeast's most ecologically distinctive regions. The resort's recreation infrastructure delivers variety across water and land-based activities: a private lake with boat docks and swimming beach, an outdoor pool, hot tub and sauna, mini-golf, golf cart rentals, canoeing and kayaking, basketball, volleyball, corn hole, bocce ball, planned activities, walking trails, game room, RV storage, general store, pavilion, dog park, laundry, and Wi-Fi serve the full family vacation recreation agenda across multiple days without requiring guests to leave the property. Cabin rentals provide enclosed group lodging alongside the full hookup RV sites, and the library and fitness center serve guests whose resort stay includes reading, exercise, and the indoor recreation that complements the lake and sports programming. Jackson Springs occupies the Moore County Sandhills where the ancient marine sediments of the Atlantic Coastal Plain meet the Piedmont's harder crystalline basement rock in a transitional zone of well-drained sandy soils that once supported the vast longleaf pine forests whose resin and turpentine production defined the colonial North Carolina economy. The Sandhills region's deep sandy soils also proved ideal for the golf course development that has made Pinehurst the most celebrated golf resort destination in the United States—the Village of Pinehurst, approximately 15 miles northeast, contains Pinehurst No. 2, consistently ranked among the top 10 golf courses in the world and the site of multiple US Open championships. The Uwharrie National Forest, approximately 40 miles northeast of Jackson Springs in the Uwharrie Mountains—the eroded remnants of some of the oldest mountain ranges in the world—provides hiking trails, OHV terrain, primitive camping, and the Troy area's gold mining heritage that reflects the piedmont geology underlying the Sandhills' sandy surface. Weymouth Woods Sandhills Nature Preserve, managed by the North Carolina State Parks system near Southern Pines, protects old-growth longleaf pine habitat in one of the few remaining stands of the mature Sandhills ecosystem, and the nature center interprets the red-cockaded woodpecker recovery program conducted within the preserve's protected pine forest. Sycamore Lodge Resort operates seasonally from spring through fall in Moore County's temperate Piedmont climate, with the spring and fall seasons providing the most comfortable outdoor conditions for the resort's lake and trail recreation and the surrounding Pinehurst golf community's prime playing season from March through May and September through November. Summer's warm temperatures make the lake and pool the primary daytime recreation anchors, and the resort's shaded Sandhills pine landscape moderates the heat better than open-terrain campgrounds in the Carolina piedmont's hotter months. The golf course access nearby extends the adult recreation options for guests whose Moore County visit combines lake camping with Pinehurst-area tee times.

The Lakes RV & Cabin Resort

49 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 4 Tent Sites

The Lakes RV and Cabin Resort in Maysville, North Carolina, offers new cabin accommodations, modern RV sites, and tent sites in Jones County's coastal plain — a versatile camping destination in the eastern North Carolina lowcountry positioned midway between the Croatan National Forest's freshwater lakes and the Crystal Coast's ocean beaches at Emerald Isle and Atlantic Beach, giving guests access to two distinct and compelling natural environments from a single inland base that serves the full range of coastal-plain outdoor recreation without the beach corridor's summer accommodation premium. New cabins with full hookups or full amenities, modern RV sites, and tent sites give the resort the accommodation breadth to serve family groups, solo travelers, and camping parties with widely varying equipment situations and overnight comfort preferences. The resort's family-oriented and welcoming atmosphere reflects a property built for the full spectrum of camping guests from first-timers in borrowed gear to experienced RV travelers with specific hookup requirements. The Jones County location in the eastern North Carolina coastal plain gives the resort the rural quiet and forest edge character that the more densely developed coast communities cannot provide at comparable price points. The Croatan National Forest, wrapping around the Maysville area in Jones and Craven Counties, protects 160,000 acres of coastal plain pocosins — the nutrient-poor, evergreen shrub wetlands unique to the Atlantic coastal plain that sustain an unusual combination of insectivorous plants (Venus flytraps, pitcher plants, sundews), black bears, red-cockaded woodpeckers, and the specific backcountry character of a forest type found nowhere else in the world. Patsy Pond, Great Lake, and the other freshwater lakes within the Croatan provide fishing and paddling access to a coastal plain lake system of striking natural quality. Jacksonville, 10 miles south of Maysville in Onslow County, anchors the regional service infrastructure that Jones County's small towns complement with rural character — restaurants, shopping, medical services, and the Camp Lejeune-sustained commercial economy of a major Marine Corps installation community give Jacksonville the urban services that extended eastern North Carolina stays require. The Crystal Coast's Emerald Isle, Swansboro, and Atlantic Beach communities lie 30 to 40 miles southeast, providing the barrier island ocean beach access that the Croatan National Forest's inland camping experience intentionally omits but that the resort's geographic position makes readily accessible for day trips. The Lakes RV and Cabin Resort serves guests year-round in eastern North Carolina's mild coastal plain climate, where the proximity to the Atlantic's moderating influence keeps both winter and summer temperatures more comfortable than inland North Carolina locations at equivalent latitudes. The spring and fall seasons from April through May and September through October represent the most comfortable camping weather and the best Croatan National Forest hiking and paddling conditions, while summer brings the ocean beach activity that the Crystal Coast's barrier island communities specifically sustain. Reserve cabins ahead for summer weekends when the Crystal Coast regional campground inventory fills from the Raleigh-Durham and Piedmont Triad markets that make the North Carolina coast their primary summer beach destination.

Norwood Campground

25 RV Sites, 10 Tent Sites

Norwood Campground in Norwood, North Carolina, sits at Morgan Mountain on the shores of Lake Tillery in Stanly County's Piedmont foothills — a well-equipped campground with 86 full-hookup RV sites, primitive tent camping in the hardwood forest, and exclusive Lake Tillery beach access that gives guests the combination of developed campground infrastructure and genuinely fine lake waterfront that makes Norwood a destination campground for the Charlotte metro, Piedmont Triad, and central Piedmont regional market. Lake Tillery's 5,000-acre Yadkin-Pee Dee River impoundment and the surrounding Uwharrie National Forest's ancient eroded mountain terrain give the campground a natural setting of understated but genuine Piedmont distinction. Eighty-six full-hookup RV sites with level pads and the infrastructure for comfortable extended stays, alongside primitive tent sites in the surrounding hardwood forest, give the campground the accommodation range from fully equipped RV travelers to minimalist tent campers who want Tillery-access and the Morgan Mountain forest experience. The campground's exclusive Lake Tillery beach access gives guests a private waterfront amenity that distinguishes Norwood from the surrounding area's public lake access points — a private beach in walking distance of the RV sites creates the daily lake swimming, fishing, and kayaking access that Tillery's warm Piedmont water sustains through the full camping season. Pets are welcome. Lake Tillery, one of four Yadkin-Pee Dee River lakes managed by Duke Energy through the central Piedmont, provides largemouth and smallmouth bass, striped bass, crappie, bluegill, and catfish fishing across its 5,000 acres of river-corridor lake water. The lake's combination of cove structure, rock bluffs, and the submerged river channel sustains a diverse and consistently productive recreational fishery that the Stanly County and surrounding Piedmont counties' fishing community has relied on since Tillery's impoundment in 1928 — one of the oldest hydroelectric lakes in the Carolinas, with the fishing character of a well-established natural system. The Uwharrie National Forest, west of Norwood in Montgomery and Randolph Counties, preserves the remnant Uwharrie Mountains — an ancient eroded mountain range whose Precambrian volcanic and metamorphic rocks represent some of the oldest exposed geology in the eastern United States, predating the Appalachians by hundreds of millions of years. The forest's hiking trails through the ancient ridges and hollows of the Uwharrie Range, the Birkhead Mountain Wilderness's primitive backcountry, and the Uwharrie Trail's 20-mile through-hiking corridor give Piedmont-based outdoor recreation guests a mountain hiking experience within an hour of Charlotte's urban core. Norwood Campground operates through the Piedmont Carolina camping season, with the spring and fall seasons from April through May and September through October delivering the most comfortable temperatures for Lake Tillery fishing, hiking, and extended outdoor activity. Summer heat in the Stanly County Piedmont is genuine but the lake's water recreation — swimming, kayaking, and evening fishing — moderates the seasonal challenge for water-focused guests. Charlotte, 45 miles west, provides the metropolitan service access, professional sports, and cultural programming that makes a Norwood campground base practical for guests combining lake recreation with metropolitan day trips. Reserve full-hookup sites ahead for spring and summer weekends when the Charlotte-area regional market's lake camping demand consistently fills Tillery-access campgrounds.

Dixon Landing RV Resort

28 RV Sites

On 130 acres of serene wooded land along Goose Creek in Pamlico County, North Carolina, Dixon Landing RV Resort offers a waterfront retreat that combines the tranquility of the Inner Coastal Plain with over 2,000 feet of creek frontage opening toward the broad Neuse River estuary. Located just 20 minutes from the historic river town of New Bern, the resort delivers full hookup RV sites and a natural setting rarely matched along the North Carolina coast—and its 2025 Campspot Award for "Top for a Quiet Getaway" signals that guests have noticed. For travelers who find the barrier island crowds too much, Dixon Landing is the quiet alternative. Sites provide 30 and 50-amp hookups with sewer and water, along with picnic tables and fire rings that invite lingering. A small dock and boat ramp give watercraft access to Goose Creek and, beyond it, the Neuse River and the vast waters of the Pamlico Sound. Kayak, paddleboard, and canoe rentals allow guests to explore the creek system without trailering their own boats. A clubhouse, camp store with snack bar, dog walk and dog park, laundry, and showers cover the essential amenities, while horseshoes, cornhole, bocce ball, and lawn games provide recreational entertainment between water excursions. Hiking and biking trails thread through the wooded property. Goose Creek's blackwater currents reflect the classic character of eastern North Carolina's coastal plain drainages—tannin-dark, slow-moving, and bordered by bald cypress, water tupelo, and sweetgum in a riverine forest that shelters river otters, wood ducks, and great blue herons in surprising numbers. The creek widens toward its confluence with the Neuse, where the views open to marshland and sky and the scale of the Pamlico Sound ecosystem becomes apparent. Osprey and bald eagles patrol the water year-round, and the spring and fall migrations bring wading birds, shorebirds, and waterfowl to the marshes and creek margins in impressive concentrations. New Bern, the colonial capital of North Carolina and birthplace of Pepsi-Cola, offers a beautifully preserved historic downtown centered on the remarkable Tryon Palace complex—the restored Royal Governor's Palace and formal gardens that rank among the finest colonial restoration projects in the country. The North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, on the Bogue Sound side of Bogue Banks, provides an excellent introduction to the coastal ecosystem. Beaufort and Morehead City are accessible for ocean fishing charters, ferry trips to Cape Lookout National Seashore, and waterfront dining that takes full advantage of North Carolina's outstanding local seafood. Dixon Landing operates year-round, with spring and fall offering the most comfortable temperatures for kayaking the creek and exploring the estuarine wetlands. Summer is warm and humid but productive for fishing, and the resort's wooded setting provides meaningful shade. The quiet character of Goose Creek and the surrounding Pamlico County landscape makes this an ideal destination for those who define a great camping trip by the absence of crowds rather than the abundance of amenities. Reserve your waterfront site at Dixon Landing RV Resort and discover North Carolina's Inner Coast at its most peaceful and unspoiled.

Smith Mountain Campground

20 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites

On Liberty Road in Penhook, Virginia—in the rolling Blue Ridge foothills of Franklin County less than five miles from the nearest public boat launch on Smith Mountain Lake—Smith Mountain Campground operates as a family-owned RV facility with full hookup sites, a stocked fishing pond, private hiking trail, and the quiet country character that the lake region's residential neighborhoods have preserved across the decades since Appalachian Power dammed the Roanoke River to create what has become Virginia's second-largest lake and the surrounding community's defining natural asset. The campground's private pond, four-unit bathhouse with individual tiled rooms, and boat parking give guests who came to fish and be near the water the specific combination of amenities that lake-country camping specifically demands. Full hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections, picnic tables, and fire rings serve both back-in and pull-through configurations across the property's site inventory, and complimentary high-speed WiFi keeps connected guests online through the site footprint. A four-unit private bathhouse with individually tiled rooms—each containing a shower, sink, toilet, and electrical outlet—provides a level of bathroom privacy that the typical campground shower-house arrangement doesn't supply. A dedicated laundry facility handles the practical needs of extended stays. Dedicated boat parking accommodates the trailered watercraft that lake-bound guests consistently arrive with, and a pavilion available for private reservation serves the group gathering needs of family reunions and organized camping events. A playground and outdoor recreation area serve families with younger campers and children in tow. The private hiking trail and stocked fishing pond are the property's most distinctive natural amenities—giving guests who want to fish without launching a boat an on-property option that the lake's five-mile distance doesn't otherwise provide. Smith Mountain Lake's character—a 20,600-acre reservoir on the Roanoke and Blackwater Rivers at the base of the Blue Ridge, with 500 miles of wooded shoreline and an elevation of 795 feet—provides the fishing and boating programming that organizes the Franklin County camping calendar from spring through fall. Striped bass, largemouth bass, crappie, and bluegill populate the lake in numbers and quality that have established Smith Mountain Lake among Virginia's premier fishing destinations, and the shoreline's development as a residential and resort community has produced a marina and restaurant infrastructure that gives boating guests on-water dining access that few Virginia lakes match. Smith Mountain Lake State Park, on the Halesford Arm of the lake's western reach, provides the hiking, swimming beach, boat rental, and educational programming that bring non-boating visitors specifically to the state park when a day on the water doesn't require owning a vessel. The park's mountain bike trails and the lake's kayaking and paddleboarding resources extend the recreational programming beyond powerboating into the quieter water-access categories. Roanoke—Virginia's largest city in the western part of the state, with the Taubman Museum of Art, the Virginia Museum of Transportation, and the Blue Ridge Parkway access via the Roanoke Valley—is accessible for the urban cultural programming that a lakeside camping base supplements naturally. Smith Mountain Campground is open seasonally through the Virginia camping calendar, with the prime season running from April through October when Smith Mountain Lake's fishing, boating, and outdoor recreation are at their most active. Fall foliage on the Blue Ridge foothills surrounding the lake creates one of the most visually rewarding shoulder-season camping opportunities in western Virginia. Reserve your site with boat parking early for the spring bass season and let the Franklin County lake country earn the reputation that Virginia's recreational community has assigned to it for decades.

Midpoint I95 RV Park

13 RV Sites

Midpoint I95 RV Park in Sellers, South Carolina, offers 13 full-hookup pull-through RV sites with water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp service, sized for rigs to 50 feet. Every site is pull-through, which is exactly what an overnight I-95 stop should be, and a pond with a fishing pier, dog park, and playground make it more than a parking lot. Thirteen pull-through sites carry full hookups with 30 and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet. Pulling through means no backing after a long driving day and no unhitching for a single night — the practical case for this park in a corridor where quality options are limited. Laundry is on site. Pets are welcome. The grounds do more than the site count suggests. A pond with a fishing pier gives guests somewhere to spend an evening, walking trails and hiking run the property, and a dog park and playground serve pets and families after hours in the vehicle. Gaga ball rounds out the recreation, and the beach is not far. Sellers sits in Dillon County just south of Latta, at roughly the midpoint of I-95's 360-mile run through South Carolina. That position — a few minutes off the highway but far enough for quiet — is the park's entire proposition for the Maine-to-Florida snowbird corridor, which gives South Carolina's I-95 campgrounds the most consistent year-round occupancy of any campground corridor in the eastern United States. The park operates year-round. The heaviest traffic follows the seasonal snowbird migration south in fall and north in spring. With 13 sites, arriving without a reservation during those windows is a gamble — book ahead.

Dogwood Family Campground

52 RV Sites

Dogwood Family Campground in Newport, North Carolina, offers 52 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 110 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout — one of the most generous length allowances on the Crystal Coast. Sites are numbered individually, including pond and pond view categories, on a Dark Sky Friendly property open all year. Fifty-two sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 110 feet, with site WiFi. Categories are listed site by site — including pond back-ins and pond view back-ins — so you can pick your exact spot rather than a general type. RV storage, firewood, and a playground handle the practical side. The property is deliberately quiet and dark. A pond sits on the grounds for fishing, walking trails run the coastal plain forest, and corn hole and birding fill the rest. The Dark Sky Friendly designation is the distinguishing feature — genuine stargazing on a coast where light pollution usually washes it out. Pets are welcome. Newport sits at the inland edge of the Crystal Coast in Carteret County, which gives the campground unusual dual access: the Croatan National Forest's freshwater recreation and wildlife begin immediately north, while Beaufort's waterfront and the Cape Lookout National Seashore's barrier island beaches are 15 minutes east. A beach and state park are nearby. Open year-round, with summer beach traffic the peak and mild shoulder seasons drawing steady demand. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends.

In The Pines RV & Cabin Village

8 Cabins

In The Pines RV and Cabin Village in Bolivia, North Carolina, is a quiet, nature-close camping destination in Brunswick County — a tucked-away small campground near Wilmington that gives campers the peaceful pine forest setting as an alternative to the coastal strand resort campgrounds, with RV sites and cabin accommodations in the longleaf pine and wiregrass woodland that the Brunswick County interior's sandhills landscape sustains between the Cape Fear River and the Intracoastal Waterway's coastal strand. Bolivia's Brunswick County position on US-17 south of Leland gives the campground the practical access to both the Wilmington metropolitan area's cultural and historical attractions and the Brunswick Island beaches that the US-17 and NC-211 corridor connects to Holden Beach, Sunset Beach, and Ocean Isle Beach in the Brunswick County's most visited family beach communities. Small-scale RV sites and cabin accommodations in the pine forest setting give In The Pines the specific quiet, close-to-nature character of a Brunswick County campground whose scale and natural setting give guests the pine forest camping experience that the larger commercial campgrounds' developed landscape cannot sustain — the campground's tucked-away character and the surrounding longleaf pine woodland give the Bolivia property its specific identity as a nature-first campground in the Brunswick County sandhills landscape that was historically the native range of the longleaf pine ecosystem. Pets are welcome. The Brunswick County Islands — Holden Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, Sunset Beach, and Brunswick Island — give the campground its most visited day-trip destinations on the North Carolina coast south of Wilmington, where the Brunswick County barrier island beaches' calm family character, the Intracoastal Waterway's boating and kayaking access, and the Brunswick Islands' less-commercialized resort character distinguish the Brunswick strand from the more developed Outer Banks and Myrtle Beach resort corridors. Sunset Beach's Kindred Spirit Mailbox on Bird Island — the most remote accessible beach in Brunswick County — sustains the decades-old tradition of strangers leaving journal entries in the beachfront mailbox. Southport, 20 miles southeast of Bolivia on NC-211 at the Cape Fear River's mouth in Brunswick County, is one of North Carolina's most charming and most filmed coastal communities — a Victorian-era river port whose tree-lined streets, the North Carolina Maritime Museum at Southport's maritime heritage collection, and the recurring role as the filming location for films and TV productions (Safe Haven, Under the Dome, and Dawson's Creek among others) give the Brunswick County port town its specific combination of architectural heritage and coastal town character. The Fort Anderson Civil War earthworks at Brunswick Town State Historic Site eight miles north give the Cape Fear River its specific colonial and Civil War heritage. In The Pines RV and Cabin Village serves guests year-round in Brunswick County's mild southeastern North Carolina coastal climate, with the spring and fall seasons providing the most comfortable camping conditions for the longleaf pine forest walks and the Brunswick Island beach visits that the US-17 corridor's easy access to the barrier island bridges enables without the summer heat and maximum beach crowd density. The N.C. Aquarium at Fort Fisher, 25 miles northeast of Bolivia in New Hanover County, is the largest aquarium in North Carolina — a 100,000-gallon shark tank and the sea turtle recovery program give the Fort Fisher facility the coastal marine ecology interpretation. Reserve sites and cabins ahead for the summer beach season and the fall migratory shorebird season on the Brunswick strand.

Halesford Harbour Resort

1 Cabin, 25 Condos

On 41 acres of Smith Mountain Lake shoreline in Moneta, Virginia—on the private reservoir that Appalachian Power created in 1966 when it dammed the Roanoke River in Bedford and Franklin Counties and inadvertently created one of the most beloved recreational lakes in the American South—Halesford Harbour Resort combines 133 luxury RV campsites, a 24-room inn, the Jake's Place restaurant serving craft beers and American fare, a saltwater pool, waterslide, boat launch and marina, a paradise boardwalk, and the complete lakefront resort experience for guests who want Smith Mountain Lake from both a waterside berth and a resort-quality camping platform. The resort's professional event team and regular activities programming create the community feel that distinguishes Halesford Harbour from a campground that merely happens to be near a lake. RV sites on full hookup service sit within the 41-acre property alongside the inn's 24 guest rooms, creating the mixed accommodation model that allows traveling groups to split between RV and hotel-style lodging without separating properties. A saltwater pool operating Memorial Day through Labor Day, a waterslide, beach area, basketball court, playground, and the paradise boardwalk provide the on-site recreation alongside the marina's boat launch, boat rentals through Bridgewater Marina, boat storage, and boat docks. Jake's Place restaurant provides on-property dining with a craft beer selection, children's menu, and pets' menu—a detail that reflects the resort's commitment to the traveling family experience. WiFi, laundry, a pavilion with gas grills and picnic tables, and the dump station complete the practical infrastructure. Smith Mountain Lake covers 20,600 acres of Bedford, Pittsylvania, and Franklin County terrain in the Virginia Piedmont's Blue Ridge foothills, with 500 miles of shoreline in the rolling hardwood landscape that characterizes southwest Virginia's rural character. The lake's depth—reaching 250 feet at its deepest in the main channel—and the clarity of the Roanoke River inflow create the water quality that supports one of Virginia's premier striped bass fisheries, alongside the largemouth bass, crappie, and blue catfish that attract recreational anglers and competitive tournament fishers throughout the warm-weather season. The Smith Mountain Lake State Park on the lake's north shore provides hiking trails, a swim beach, and boat access for the day-visitor population that the lake's regional drawing power sustains. The Blue Ridge Parkway, America's most visited unit of the National Park Service and the most scenic motor route in the eastern United States, runs through the mountains 20 to 30 miles west of the lake—providing access to the Peaks of Otter visitor center, the Roanoke Valley overlooks, and the complete Blue Ridge hiking and scenic drive inventory that makes the Parkway one of the most rewarding road trips in the American East. Downtown Roanoke, the region's urban center, is approximately 35 miles northwest with its revitalized downtown, the Taubman Museum of Art, and the outdoor recreation culture anchored by the Roanoke Valley Greenway system. Halesford Harbour operates year-round on Smith Mountain Lake, with the summer season generating the highest marina activity and the event team's most ambitious activities programming. The spring striped bass spawn draws serious anglers to the lake from across the mid-Atlantic and Southeast, and the fall bass fishing in the lake's coves and creek arms is consistently productive. Reserve your RV site or inn room at Halesford Harbour and let Smith Mountain Lake's warm Virginia water and the resort's boardwalk, restaurant, and marina make this Blue Ridge foothills stop one of your most memorable mid-Atlantic camping destinations.

Hideaway RV Resort - Myrtle Beach

105 RV Sites, 4 Tent Sites

Hideaway RV Resort in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, offers 105 full-hookup RV sites and four tent sites on the Intracoastal Waterway, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 68 feet.

Sixty-eight feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. The waterfront pull-through is the one to request. Four tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, RV storage, and boat storage handle the practical side. Boat docks, a boat ramp, boat rentals, kayak rentals, and a fishing pier open the waterway for boating, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, water sports, and fishing. An outdoor pool, recreation center, pavilion, walking trails, pond, playground, and dog park fill the rest, with planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. The Intracoastal setting is the distinguishing feature in a corridor where most properties face the highway. The Grand Strand's famously wide Atlantic beaches are a short drive, while the waterway's calm tidal water sits at your site — a combination that lets you keep a boat here and still be at the beach in minutes. Broadway at the Beach, Brookgreen Gardens, and the Myrtle Beach golf corridor are all close. Summer beach season drives the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead for June through August, and for spring golf season.
