Campgrounds and RV parks near North Wilkesboro, NC

North Wilkesboro sits in the Yadkin River Valley in the Brushy Mountain foothills of northwestern North Carolina, giving RV travellers access to both lake camping and Blue Ridge mountain terrain within a short drive. The town serves as a base for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' 1,475-acre W. Kerr Scott Reservoir just outside Wilkesboro, which operates three seasonal campgrounds (Bandits Roost, Warrior Creek, and Fort Hamby), and for Stone Mountain State Park roughly half an hour east. Private options in the immediate area include VFW Campground, Moravian Falls Family Campground and Cabin Rentals, Roaring River Vineyards, Sandy Creek Family Campground, and Stoney Fork Campground and B and B. These properties range from farm-style sites with hookups to wooded creekside pads, and most accept trailers and motorhomes as well as tents. Stone Mountain State Park is the primary public draw: a 14,351-acre park in Wilkes and Alleghany counties known for its 600-foot granite dome, hiking, fishing, and rock climbing. Combined with lake access at Kerr Scott and the Blue Ridge Parkway less than an hour west, the area supports trips built around water, trails, or mountain scenery.
