Campgrounds near Chadbourn
Chadbourn sits in Columbus County in southeastern North Carolina's coastal plain, roughly midway between I-95 and the Atlantic beaches. The area is flat, wooded, and threaded with blackwater rivers and Carolina bay lakes, which shapes the local camping mix: a handful of family-oriented RV resorts plus two nearby state parks with primitive and hookup sites.
Closest to town, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: Daddy Joe's is the main full-service RV destination, geared toward families with kids. WillowTree RV and the Lumberton / I-95 KOA Journey give travelers straightforward hookup options within a short drive, and the KOA is a common overnight stop for RVers moving along the I-95 corridor.
For state-park camping, Lumber River State Park spans Columbus, Robeson, Scotland, and Hoke counties about 60 miles south of Fayetteville, with two access areas about an hour apart. The Princess Ann - Lumber River State Park access is the closer one to Chadbourn. Jones Lake State Park sits in Bladen County, about 40 miles southeast of Fayetteville, and offers RV camping alongside a Carolina bay lake.
Things to do near Chadbourn
Paddling is the signature activity. The Lumber River offers 115 miles of paddling and holds federal designation as a National Wild and Scenic River, the only blackwater river in the state to earn it. Princess Ann - Lumber River State Park is the practical launch point from Chadbourn, with river access for canoes, kayaks, and small craft.
Jones Lake State Park adds swimming and easy hiking to the mix. Trails loop around the lake and connect through bay forest and sand ridge, and a longer route links to nearby Salters Lake. Only motors 10 horsepower and under are allowed on the lake, and canoes and paddleboats can be rented seasonally from the park boathouse. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: Daddy Joe's runs organized activities, pools, and themed weekends for families with younger kids.

Spring and fall are the strongest windows for RV travel in southeastern North Carolina. Days are warm but not oppressive, humidity is manageable, and bugs are less relentless than in midsummer. Spring brings migrating songbirds through the bay forests and blackwater swamps, and fall generally delivers stable weather once tropical activity winds down.
Summer is peak family season at the private resorts and at the Jones Lake swim beach, but heat and humidity are serious factors on the coastal plain, with afternoon thunderstorms common. Atlantic hurricane season overlaps with late summer and early fall, and inland flooding from tropical systems has closed local parks and campgrounds in past storm cycles, so travelers should watch forecasts closely from August through October.
Winter is mild by North American standards, with most private parks and both nearby state parks operating year-round. Sites are far easier to secure, though swimming and boat rentals are out of season and shorter daylight limits paddling windows.
How to book campgrounds near Chadbourn
State park sites are reserved through the North Carolina State Parks system on ReserveAmerica, with phone booking available through the state's reservation line. Reservations must be made at least one day ahead of arrival and can be booked up to six months in advance, which is the practical window for both Princess Ann - Lumber River State Park and Jones Lake State Park.
Holiday weekends including Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day carry a two-night minimum stay, dropping to one night if booked within 14 days of arrival. At Jones Lake State Park, six of the twenty campsites have full RV hookups for electric, water, and sewer, and while reservations are suggested, sites are available first-come, first-served if not reserved.
Private parks including Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: Daddy Joe's, WillowTree RV, and the Lumberton / I-95 KOA Journey book through their own websites, and summer weekends fill earliest.
What to expect
Terrain is flat coastal plain, so RV maneuvering is straightforward, though sites are often sandy and shaded by longleaf pine and hardwoods. Expect mosquitoes, ticks, and biting flies from late spring through early fall, and pack accordingly.
State park rules are consistent across the system. Alcoholic beverages, firearms, and fireworks are prohibited; pets must be on a leash no longer than six feet and cannot be left unattended; and posted quiet hours are enforced. Campers should bring or buy firewood on site, and a North Carolina fishing license is required.
Gates close at posted times at Lumber River State Park, and re-entry is not allowed after closing, so plan grocery and fuel runs before evening.
