This park was definitely fine for a one night stay at the Passport America rate. We did not utilize any of the facilities. The people were friendly. Would stay for one night again if needed. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice get-away place for us: close to home. Check-in was painless and smooth. The office and store is a little outdated. Directions to campground needs to be more specific for access from Hwy 264 as our Garmin did not recognize there was a left turn lane exit for the campground. Campground owners seem to be striving to make it look nice and are cleaning it up. Traffic noise was not an issue although the park is close to major road. The Wi-Fi worked good. The pool area looks nice but we did not use it. The sites are a little unlevel but manageable. Think we may come back again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice and quiet park. Hosts are extremely friendly. Rates reflect Passport America. Only problem is that pool is opened to public from 10am till 5pm. Campers only after 5pm. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
There are decent-sized level grass lots with paved patio and picnic table. There is no cable but good TV and broadband reception. It is very well maintained campground and friendly hosts. There are a few shaded sites; most are in the sun. There are some seasonal year-round RVs but they are mostly in the back and are taken care of. There is lots to see and do in the area. We visited the Rose Garden. Wilson is a pretty neat city with beautiful old homes, lots of shopping choices, art museum, several golf courses, etc. It is not too far from the Raleigh/Durham area and about 15 miles to Rocky Mount. We would recommend this campground to anyone and we did come back here after a short trip to the Kitty Hawk area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a pretty little campground that is nicely arranged although there is no privacy. There were a few big trees, and full hookups. The pool is open to the public until 5 pm then campers have it all to themselves. The staff was nice and helpful and led us to our site. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Family oriented campsite. Extremely nice hosts. Quiet and spacious. Pool is open to public from 10am to 5pm. Nice place to get away for a weekend of camping. Will revisit a couple times throughout the year as it is close to home. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Just staying overnight on our way to Virginia. As previous reviewer states, this is a no frills park, but our overall impression of the park is very positive. Roads are dirt/gravel but in good shape. Sites are large, dirt/grass. with small cement patios. Grass is recently mowed. Park is neat and clean and feels safe. We paid $17.50/night under Passport America for full hookup site with 50 amp and free WiFi. We would definitely stay here again if our travels bring us this way. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A quiet Passport America park in the middle of North Carolina. No frills but the park is conveniently located off US 301 and I-95. Make sure you read a paper map because our GPS sent us to 301S rather than 301N. They offer WiFi but no CATV; local channels via antenna have good reception. Park owners have some farm animals stabled/caged on the property: chickens, donkeys, goats, horses. Will definitely stop here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This Good Sam park has been undergoing many upgrades since the current owners purchased it several years ago. It is now in very nice shape and the owners are delightful folks. The area has a lot of large trees, although we had no problem getting DirecTV reception. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The owners of this Passport America park are lovely. I came for one night and decided to stay for two more but didn't have cash. No problem, I went out for the day and came back with it. The wifi is strong. There is good cell and satellite TV reception. The sites are large and level. It's not a destination resort, but certainly a good place to stop for a few days. There are some permanents here, but it's not scummy. The owners have been working hard for three years to make it nice, and they have succeeded. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Small campground on a main highway. It has many worker types in older trailers. Very quiet, owners are pleasant, hard working and appear to be making improvements as they can. The pull through site we were on had a new electric panel 50/30/20 but most others were older type single amps. The gravel on the site is well past needing enhancing. Sites are not well marked. But we will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I called and made reservations and they didn't bother to tell me the pool was broken. I have 3 children and they were very disappointed. I will not be camping here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I'm not sure why this campground exists. It is a parking lot just off the main highway with dirt roads and tight sites. It has nothing that I am looking for in a campground. About the only amenity it has is a pool. It is OK for an overnight but I can't see where it would be considered as a destination. One positive is that it is in the heart of the BBQ belt and we had a good one in a local establishment. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I camped there for six days, roads to sites are gravel. They were filling the swimming pool, and grading the roads while I was there. PA rate is $15.00 a night, I will stay there again. I have a 35' "A" with PU toad. Camped on site B1 with full 50 amp hookup, it was about 45' x 70'. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If it hadn't been so late and I wasn't so tired, we would have moved on once we saw the place. Small sites and rutty and muddy roads. Basically the place was a dump. Avoid it if you can. We camped here in a Motorhome.
