Excellent Overall Park. Just Stayed The Weekend. Super Nice Hosts That Were Very Helpful. Do Not Have Picnic Tables At Sites But We Were Offered A Table. They Have Large And Small Sites. Plenty Of Room For Any Size Rig. Nice Walking Areas. This Is A Newer Campground And They Are Adding Sites And Improving All The Time. Plan On Going Back Soon. Limited Activities, But The Area Has A Lot To See And Do. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Campground is large gravel area with little to no shade. Owners are trying to make it nice but it is still hot in the summer. Maybe in a few years it will be worth staying at again. Be preparted to run your air conditioner day and night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is the best kept campground we have used. It is very new and improvements are constantly being added. The owner is an "RV-er" himself and he is building a campground that he would want to use. Although there are no picnic tables at the site the owner showed up with a very nice folding table for us to use as soon as we set up. The owner is a descendant of the famous Eng and Chang Bunker Siamese twins from the 1800's. His mother gave us a tour of the old farm house on the property that was built in 1900. It contains pictures and antiques that belonged to the twins. We loved the campground so much we stored our 5th wheel there so we can camp several times this summer. Don't miss this great campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Pros: price and location Cons: the sites in the row we were put in had no space between sites. We were unable to use our awning. There are no picnic tables provided. However, our site was so close to our neighbors that we would not have been able to use it had one been provided. Site is a rock driveway only as wide as the camper. As it rained while we were there, we were walking in standing water to get into and out of our camper. We were unable to access internet. We were told that the house blocked it and that they needed to add a repeater. My husband is in the middle of his last class prior to completing his MBA. Therefore, having wifi is a must as he has to log on and post to the class. Having no wifi was a big problem. There are no trees to speak of. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A campground that only has full hookups/ Wi-Fi/ and cable. The Wi-Fi is a good strong signal from every site. On the campground map it shows over 65 sites, but walking around they are working on putting some new sites in, and now there are close to 90 sites or more. They are have big plans for this campground and expect to add a swimming pool, playgrounds, store, campfire pits and much more. Right now there are no tables at each site but the bathroom was clean and there are two catch and release ponds.. The sites are spread out and there is no privacy but it is still quite peaceful. You can look out towards the Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance but you do hear the interstate near by. The campground sits on the former farm and homeplace for Eng and Chang Bunker (the famous Siamese twins) and their descendents. They are buried at the little white church near by and the downtown regional museum tells the history of their story. The campground is easy to get to and very close to all sorts of restaurants, Wal-Mart, and any other stores or gas stations that you might need. Very interesting. Other places to visit are all the wineries in the area (29 of them) especially the Shelton Winery (one of the most beautiful wineries we have seen), the regional museum and the largest open granite pit in the world. The visitor center downtown has maps and there is a drive through tour where you can see these sites as wells as the Bed and Breakfast which was Andy’s homeplace. There is even a winery right downtown! The Blue Ridge Mountains are close by as well as a couple of state parks and other historic sites to visit like the JEB Stuart birthplace. Lots to do and visit in the area. RV friendly, a number of free parking lots around town but the best place for a large RV is the post office parking lot. We were in a tornado watch again and had thunderstorms around midnight. Traveling in the middle of NC and western part in the months of April and May we have been told to expect this but as much as we have loved NC, I think visiting the area would be safer during other times of the year. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a nice, clean park that is new. The owners were very nice. The roads are all new gravel and the grass is growing nicely. There are two fishing ponds. No pool or laundry yet but this is a very nice place to stay for a few nights. The campground feels like you are out in the country but town is only two miles away. Wal-Mart is two miles, Lowe's Home Improvement Store is three miles away and the main highway (Hwy 601) has banks, fast food, auto parts stores, etc. The Wi-Fi worked well, and the water, sewer and electric is all new. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Owner is very nice. Campground is fairly new and still being completed. Access to sites is very easy. All sites are full hookup including cable. Internet is good. Would have rated campground higher if it had a pool, play area, store, etc. Owner said they are planned as he is completing campground. Nice place to stay if most of your plans are to visit nearby towns and/or attractions. Would definitely stay there again when visiting area. Price is great! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here for 3 nights and paid $13.25 each night as we have Passport America.The park is very clean and the owners are friendly and offer suggestions as where to eat and what to see.It is very close to attractions and shopping in Mount Airy. We would certainly stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
New and very nice park. Large, well graded sites. Wi-Fi worked well. Friendly and helpful owner, offered directions and recommendations, picnic table or fire ring if we wanted one. Cable TV excellent and easy to aim satellite dish, only trees in campground are small and newly planted. Nice landscaping. We used Passport America for first night. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice campground and I would recommend it. Clean, spacious sites w/modern hookups. Owner was very nice and laid back and has lots of plans for expansion in the very near future. Campground convenient to Mt Airy and I-74. They were not crowded (less than 25 other campers) and we had our choice of sites. We did not use restroom/shower facilities, but when I looked in, they were very clean and spacious. There are no fire rings at the campsites, but they may be in the future plans. Trash receptacles placed conveniently around area which eliminates litter and keeps the grounds clean. We had a quiet weekend and are planning to return soon. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very convenient to both I74 and I77.We were guided here by networking with other campers...great place to go. We stayed on top of a hill, overlooking one of the lakes and the mountains. Owner was terrific (even gathered and brought us firewood) and they had lots of great ideas of what to do in the area. Mount Airy was totally charming and Pilot Mountain was beautiful. We ended up staying 3 nights. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Put it on your list! It is convenient to I74 and about 5 miles from Mayberry - er - Mt Airy, NC. The previous reviews about modernness are true, the hosts were friendly and helpful (if only I had followed his advice, my water lines wouldn't have frozen). Sits are gravel, wide and offer spectacular views. I only wish it wasn't just an overnight stop. Next time it will be for a few days. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground is but a year old. It was laid out with considerable thought. All sites are pull-thru with modern hook-up pedestals. Owners are very friendly and helpful. Expansion continues. This will be a first-class campground deserving a higher rating in less than a year. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice clean park well laid out by a real camper,no pool, all hookup well located. Price reflects Passport America discount. We will stay again if in area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a very clean, neat park. Facilities were well thought out and were in excellent condition. This is a Passport America park, so we actually paid $13.25 per night including tax. The park is a little over 1 year old. Owner has plans to extend the park into an adjacent wooded area (for shady camp sites). The spaces are reasonably wide and there's no trouble with slide outs. No picnic tables or fire rings (but it was rather cool and windy during our three-day stay, so outside activities weren't a priority.) There are two covered pavilions for group activities. If I'm in the area again, I'll stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
All roads and sites are granite rock. Sites are long, wide, and level. All sites have 30/50 amps, water, sewer, and cable TV with lots of channels. Wi-Fi was strong, worked well, and was free. You have a small fishing pond to fish in. Small amount of road noise off I-74. Very long walk from bathhouse to any sites and up hill. No fire ring or open fires here. LED lights on hookup post and corner post. All in all a very nice park to visit. Staff was great at check in. Mount Airy is home of Andy Griffith, Snappy Lunch, and Floyd's Barber shop. Tour the city, it is a lot's of fun. Lot's of new sites, pool, playground, and bathhouse in planing. DTV will pick up couple channels. Verizon cell phone worked great. We will return anytime. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is a open field type with no trees around the sites. The park has a lot of new sites all sites are gravel. The owners are very nice and try to please. We were told to ride around and choose a site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent park, very quite..Owners very nice and helpful. It cant be beat for a nice relaxing time and lots to do close by. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A work in progress but a great campground already. The sites are long, level, with full hookups and not too close together. The location is convenient to I-77, I-74, US 601, and 52, on the edge of Mount Airy (Mayberry), and not far from the Blue Ridge Parkway, Winston-Salem, and the local Vineyards. All in all a great location. You are treated like one of the family by the owners and the office staff. They are so friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We were there for a month and will stay there again when we are in the area. We highly recommend this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I had to move to Mayberry from another campground that was sold out. I wasn't disappointed - the sites are large, but gravel (interestingly, crushed granite!) Hookups are easily handled with almost everything new. Agreed with previous comment that it is a work in progress - not much vegetation yet. Owner is very friendly and most helpful. The proximity to Mount Airy is convenient. Mt. Airy was the setting for "Mayberry RFD" and is a delightful community. We'll sure be back with our motor home to this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Owners on site and they were super nice. This is definitely a "work in progress", but has great potential. The owner is working daily to finish the park. Lovely views. Convenient location close to I-74 and Mt. Airy. We will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This new park is a work in progress. Owner projects 70 sites by the end of August. Pros: Quiet except high level by I-74. Very nice, helpful and friendly owners and staff. Minimum rules. Safe wholesome environment. Water tasty (but see below). Wal-Mart 2 miles away, also eating and grocery stores. Most sites have a choice of 2 sewer points. Great 50 amp hook up. They will allow you to pick your site. This park is not listed in Trailer Life yet, so not real crowded. Owner is very relaxed and allows washing of TV and rig. Sites are crushed granite pieces, packed tight. Plans are to have 70 sites by 9/1/08. Has nice picnic shelter. Eat at East Coast Wings next to Lowes...has all kinds of food which is very good! Also Snappy Lunch in town (pork chop sandwich). Yum! Cons: Neighbors dogs run free, however friendly and caused no problems. Low water pressure and volume. This is to be fixed at the end of this month when they hook up to city water. Wi-Fi worked OK most of the time, considering there is only one antenna (to add another antenna in the future). Bathroom only has 2 holes and one shower. No pool or laundry on premise. This park could be a 9 with not much problem in the near future. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Extremely nice park. It is still under construction, but the finished work is superb. Very nice grass areas at each space. Level. graveled pull through space. Staff is very friendly and helpful. They have big plans for the park, and will be resort quality when it is completed. Great destination park as well as overnight. Close to many state parks and the Blue Ridge Parkway. If ever back in the area we will definitely stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The owners are very friendly and helpful. Although the campground is still very much a work in progress, it is being worked on full-time, and it is going to be a first-class campground. We got the feeling that the owners are very committed to that. They were very concerned about all our needs being met. Also, cable and WiFi are now up and running. This is a convenient location for anyone visiting Mount Airy and its many attractions. Very easy in and out. We will definitely be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We were one of their 1st campers. All sites have 50/30/20 amp electrical, water, sewer and cable coming soon. WiFi is also promised in the near future. Campground is set on a rolling, golf course like setting. There are two ponds and lots of grass. There are no trees yet, but they are installing shelters to keep you out of the weather. The streets are even paved with granite. It is located just outside the nice tourist town of Mount Airy where Andy Griffith grew up and based the TV town of "Mayberry". We camped here in a Motorhome.
