Campgrounds and RV parks near Cordova, NC

Cordova sits in Richmond County in the Sandhills region of south-central North Carolina, just north of the South Carolina line. The location puts RV travellers within a short drive of both North Carolina state forests and two South Carolina state parks, which together provide most of the public camping capacity in the area. Across the state line, Cheraw State Park sits in the northeastern corner of South Carolina, and its campground provides 17 developed sites with individual water and electrical hookups on packed gravel pads, accommodating RVs up to 40 feet, with six waterfront sites located directly on the lake, which is Lake Juniper, the park's 360-acre lake. Nearby, H Cooper Black Jr Memorial Recreational Area offers more than 20 miles of trails and sand roads, equestrian facilities including stables, kennels, corrals and arenas, and 27 camping sites complete with water and electrical hookups. On the North Carolina side, Sycamore Lodge Resort is a wooded Sandhills park open year-round with a large number of shaded sites. Smaller private options such as Norwood Campground and Standing Pines round out the choices for RV renters basing themselves near Cordova.

South Carolina State Parks handle bookings for both Cheraw and H Cooper Black through a central reservation system. To make a reservation, call toll-free 1-866-345-PARK or visit the reservations page, and camping reservations must be made for a minimum of two nights. Reservations at state parks may be made up to 13 months in advance. Cancellation terms are tiered. Cancellations made 60 or more days in advance of the arrival date incur no charges, cancellations 15 to 59 days out incur a per-unit administration charge, cancellations 4 to 14 days out incur a charge equal to the first night's stay, and cancellations 3 days or less in advance forfeit all funds with no refund. Sycamore Lodge Resort is a private, membership-oriented park that also accepts non-member reservations through its own website and third-party booking platforms. Book weekends and holidays well ahead, especially during Pinehurst golf events.
