    Completely honest Review, no exaggerations. Let's start with the positive things. The campground is tucked in the woods and is a very nice, quiet, beautifully kept campground. There are nice trails to walk & take our dogs walking. Right by the Dan River. The bathrooms are kept very clean. The camp host Bill is very nice & does a great job keeping the place kept. The WiFi was very good for us. They fill propane for you which is a nice convenience but if you go in town to the tractor supply, it will cost half the price. The not so positive things. The trails can get very muddy if it rains. Some of the sites also flood if it rains. There are 2 washers & 2 dryers that are in the bathrooms. The camp sites are too close for our comfort. If I can hear everything your saying & can see what your eating at your picnic table, it's too close. There is only one dumpster for the whole campground. Some people have to walk pretty far to get to it. They say they are dog friendly, yet there are no poop stations & no dog run area. There is A LOT of unused grassy areas in this campground. Complete waste of space. There's a small pool, but it wasn't open when we were there. Now for the negative things. It's not open for daily or weekly rentals in the fall & winter. Since the owners don't do river adventures, the access to the river is a joke, pretty inaccessible. In their defense, it looks like they're working on digging it out from previous flooding. The "fu€king owner" (that is how he referred to himself when speaking to us) is a non social, belligerent, tool bag. We had 3 incidents while we were here. One we take full responsibility, the other 2 are up for interpretation. The incidences were pretty minor in our opinion & he could have just talked to us in a calm manner instead of berating and trying to belittle us. The way he spoke to us & our guest, plus the language he used was completely unprofessional and unacceptable. While we were here there were 2 work campers that left because of the language he used and what he said, and I quote "this makes me so fu€king mad and makes me want to kill somebody". He rides around in his creeper van and instead of interacting pleasantly with people, he is just looking for people doing something wrong. We have been full-timing for 3 1/2 years and have been all over the country. We have NEVER had an experience like this, nothing even close. This place has a lot of potential but it needs new owners or the owner needs to change everything about himself and how he runs and handles things. We will NEVER come back here! Such a shame and shame on the owner! *Update: As we were leaving they started work on a dog lot, not a dog park, a dog lot approximately 12x30. With all the open space they have, seriously?!

    Our favorite walk at the campground (the riverside path heading toward turkey neck trail)

    Pulled in to stay for a month... ended up staying 2 years! Came to North Carolina to spend time with family and couldn't be happier with our choice of campground. Nick and Ann are wonderful people. I can't say enough good things this place and these folks! The property is beautiful, peaceful and has all sorts of neat stuff for dogs(and people) to explore

    I found a new regular camping spot whether I am in a tent or an RV Dan River Campground is the spot. The owners are very friendly and offer many Dan River activities including taking you up to a drop off with tubes, kayaks, canoes...ect to allow you to have a nice ~2hr float back to the campground. The campground is clean and the RV sites are level and large. Each site has a fire pit. They offer many activities such as volleyball, horseshoes, ping pong, and many others. Our kids had plenty of fun playing in the Dan River which is a short walk from all of the sites. The bathrooms are clean and the camp host is also very friendly even loaning us fishing rods to use during our stay.

    We absolutely LOVE this camp ground!! If you want peace and quiet, sounds of nature this is the place! No loud music is allowed (which is nice) Beautiful kept lawns, clean bathrooms, crystal clear pool and if you are tubing or kayaking.. they can help you with that too (just make sure to make reservations in advanced (they fill up quick). We brought our own canoe and kayak, they took us up the the Lindsey Bridge and we floated right back to the camp ground and walked out stuff up about 100 yards. The office staff is awesome as well. The young lady working there does the best she can and she is a delight! Talked with the owners wife a couple of times and she is a delight as well. We WILL be back!!

    I have been here 4 months and have one week left. I have seen lots of folks come and go. The campground is well maintained. There are well maintained trails along the river. The pool always looks great. Didn't use the bathrooms but I never heard any complaints. There is WiFi and it works. It is a pretty campground. The spots are pretty level and the place is kept clean. Only minus here is the spots need some fresh gravel. New owners, so may be in the plans I recommend this place. The only place I found that takes long term campers. The long term campers here are clean and well maintained. Close to a Walmart, Lowe's, autozone, etc. 40 minutes from downtown Greensboro. Commute is low traffic.

    Beautiful walking trails with a prayer area.
