The camp site was so beautiful! So quiet and the views went on for miles with not another soul in site. Good distance from Stone Mountain, which we hiked while we were there. Would definitely recommend!!!!!

Second time camping here, and it was great. Love that she keeps dry wood on site for sale, and plenty of it. Needed 3 bundles for the wet evening, but had a nice time.

This site is beautiful and Rachel is super helpful! I brought my 14’ camper and the steps got banged up coming up the hill. The road up is fun to drive but my trailer didn’t have enough clearance. We will definitely be coming back!

Great site! The view is spectacular, especially watching the sun rise in the morning and the shadows crossing the valley in the evening. The weather was nice so we left the rain fly off our tent. It was so nice being able to see so many stars with no light pollution. I had also forgotten what silence sounded like...I haven't slept this good in a while! There is a huge fire pit and wood available close by for purchase on Venmo. We were originally planning on setting up camp and then driving to find a hiking spot but we just ended up hiking the property, then coming back to our chairs and that spectacular view! We are local and came in for a quick one night stay to test out some new boondocking equipment and to see if the site would be good for the trailer we are purchasing next year. After climbing the road, I now see why they limit trailers to 20 ft. While we won't be bringing our trailer up here, we'll definitely be back in the tent!

Fred's camp site was awesome. He provided patio furniture, cornhole, and a fire pit. The catch and release fishing was great, our friend got to catch a fish for his birthday. Definitely recommend spending the night!

This was our second time staying on Rachel’s land, and it was just as amazing as the first. The views are absolutely unbeatable — waking up to the mountains wrapped in morning fog and ending the day by the campfire with a wide open sky is something special. The site is peaceful, private, and well cared for, making it easy to relax and enjoy nature. Rachel is a thoughtful host and makes the experience smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone looking to truly unwind and take in the beauty of the Blue Ridge.

What stands out is the view! The site was well maintained and secluded. On the drive to site on the dirt road, 4 large dogs followed us for a long stretch. They were not afraid to walk in front of our truck, while the others stayed close to the sides. I was concerned I would hit them. But it just added to the adventurous drive to the top. Also, make sure to push in the lock after you add the code. If you pull it, it will not open.

Absolutely private with a beautiful view, you definitely don’t have to worry about seeing other people or buildings or roads. If you want to get away for a weekend, it was beautiful. The drive up the mountain was a little more challenging than we were expecting. We have a F250 which generally would’ve had no problem, but because we had a camper on top, it was weighing it down a bit.

This was a perfect start to a North Carolina road trip, just me and my dog. Peaceful and remote with amazing views. Explored the trails, had a campfire, hung a hammock, and just enjoyed nature. We got up early and watch the sun rise over the mountains. It was perfect. The listing recommends a high clearance vehicle and I agree with that.

Gorgeous gorgeous spot and views!!! Definitely a wild ride driving up (especially with a tall Sprinter van and low branches) but that’s the “adventure” part of adventure van life and I loved it!!! Thank you so much, Rachel!!

We did a quick overnight here on our way to western North Carolina. It is very convenient off of 40. The site was right next to the pond and it was super quiet, level and private. Frederick met us at the site to help us get setup. We highly recommend this Hipcamp if you want a nice spot for an overnight or even the weekend.

Rachel’s land was perfect for a quick one night getaway. The view from the campsite is incredible. Very clear directions were provided, which were nice to re-affirm that I was driving down the correct path once off the main road. Would recommend to anyone! Thanks Rachel!

The best dog-friendly RV sites near Statesville guide
Where to go
Lake Norman State Park
Set on the northern shore of North Carolina’s largest manmade body of freshwater, Luke Norman State Park was once known as Duke Power State Park. The inland sea was formed as part of the construction of Duke Power’s Cowans Ford Dam in the mid-20th century. The warm water fishery is home to striped, largemouth, and white bass, and boat dock use is free at the park. Campers can also rent rowboats and canoes. All campsites come with picnic tables and fire rings, plus access to potable water, washrooms, and hot showers. Some RV sites have full hookups with 30- and 50-amp service available. Cozy wood cabins feature heating and air-conditioning units.
Stone Mountain State Park
About an hour north of Statesville, Stone Mountain State Park boasts several hiking trails ranging from the easy 0.4-mile K.I.P. Track Trail to the much more strenuous Stone Mountain Loop Trail and the 11.32-mile Mountains-to-Sea State Trail. Explore waterfalls and winding creeks through the forest while spotting such local wildlife as woodpeckers, hawks, black bears, and salamanders. Camping options include backpacking sites for tents, plus trailer and RV campsites, some with electric (up to 50-amp) and water hookups. Each site has its own tent pad, picnic table, and fire ring, plus access to toilets and hot showers.
Morrow Mountain State Park
Boasting amazing views of the surrounding Uwharrie Mountains, Morrow Mountain State Park is at the heart of one of the oldest mountain ranges in the eastern United States. On clear days, soak in panoramic views of the neighboring countryside and Yadkin-Pee Dee River from the top of the mountain. Lake Tillery offers terrific fishing, including a boat launch and fishing pier, as well as a waterfront picnic area. Primitive campsites through the Backpack Trail require a two-mile hike, while Hipcampers can also choose from modern cabins with fireplaces and back porches, as well as tent, RV, and trailer campsites, including some with electrical hookups.
When to go
Spring and fall are among the best times to go camping near Statesville, when milder temperatures can make outdoor pursuits like hiking and biking more enjoyable for some Hipcampers. These shoulder seasons also have fewer insects, like mosquitoes, compared to summer. Wildlife tends to be more active in the spring and fall, too, offering better opportunities to catch local fauna in their natural environment, both in the forest and along the water.
