Poplar Point is a great campground! We camp there quite frequently as we live only an hour away. We store our boat at the Crosswinds Marina which is also on Jordan Lake. The sites are large and private. Restrooms are in good clean condition and kept that way for the most part. There are lots of trees and watch out for the squirrels, they will steal your food if left out or unattended. Yes, they can open some containers and most definitely most packages so put them up when you leave the site for any reason. We always get a site on the water so we can pull the boat up on the beach at camp site. Fishing is always great on this lake whether from shore or boat. The catfish are excellent eating so bring a frying pan and oil! We camped here in a Tent.

We camped here in a Motorhome. We enjoyed our stay. We had a large very private campsite. Did not use the bath house but did use our bikes for bike riding. It was a great place to stay the weekend. We did not have waterfront but would highly recommend this place to anyone. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our first time here, but will not be our last. The sites were large, with lots of space and woods between sites. I felt very safe as there were park rangers patroling. The bathhouses did leave a little to be desired. They were clean when we got there, but by the end of the holiday weekend they were a little messy. The showers were lukewarm. As a state park, there wasn't sewer hookups, but they had the nicest dumpstations I have seen. Beautiful park. They do not take reservations unless you are staying a week, but we went on Easter weekend and didn't have any trouble finding a site. This goes on our favorites list We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very nice campsite. The only reason I rate it a 7 is because of the early gate closing (9pm) and they do not give out the combination. The sites are large as well as fairly private...there are plenty of trees between sites. Our site would have been approximately 20 feet from the water had the lake been a full level (they were in the midst of a drought). There was no store in the campground, but plenty of stores nearby and you are only about 30 minutes outside of Raleigh. We will definitely go back. We camped here in a camper.

The sites at this park are large and for the most part secluded. However, we did encounter more than our fair share of ticks. You would definitely need to take some type of bug repellent, and there are signs there that recommend this as well. The swimming area is nothing special. It is the typical "roped-off" area meant to keep kids in and boats out. Overall a peaceful stay, but I am not much of a "lake person," so my lack of enthusiasm may be reflective of that. We camped here in a Tent.

Great state park in a good location, short drive to Raleigh NC, Good for people with boats or water craft, very dark at night, paved streets, big gravel sites, some for two families, there are four campgrounds on this lake & this one is better for big rigs, gate closes at 9:00 pm & opens at 8:00 am We camped here in a Motorhome.

Big sites. Nice beach. The only down side is a locked gate from 9pm to 8am. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

What a great park. First time at an NC State run park - won't be my last. Sites are laid out well to provide privacy and they are plenty big. Quite a few are double sites - great way to camp with friends. All facilities were clean - there weren't that many campers though and I can imagine how used the bathrooms would be during the season. A great park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great fishing, cycling, bird watching, boating. Swimming area just for campground, not open to public. I prefer Crosswinds over the other campsites at the lake. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was our 7th or 8th trip to Crosswinds CG at Jordan Lake. We were camping with our SS class and had to reserve 6 sites for all of us to stay together. Normally I would have just rode down and got a site for the weekend on Thursday evening, but with this being Memorial Day weekend I was worried we would be hard pressed to find 6 sites together. I was right. Everybody was camping this weekend. Best plans we have ever made booking early. We had a nice time and the lake was wonderful. Bathhouses were cleaned everyday and they even had a cleaning service come in 3 times over the weekend to help the park staff clean the houses. We had a blast, the Ranger's were patrolling all weekend. After 11pm all was quiet. This had to be one of best camping trips ever to Jordan Lake. Friends make a camping trip much better. I too have a complaint about locking you in after 9pm. I feel like that locked gate time could be extended to 11pm on a major holiday weekend. I understand short staffing issues but you have campground host make them earn their free camping space by locking the gates a little later. You are 10 miles from one the largest malls in North Carolina, it would be nice to run up there and not worry about having to be back before 9pm. But over all this is one NC's crown jewels of a lake and campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Good state park on Jordan Lake, nearby marina and boat launch. Swimming area on lake. Near Raliegh We camped here in a Motorhome.
