RV Parks In Asheboro, North Carolina

Several sit within a few minutes of the zoo. Zooland Family Campground on Pisgah Covered Bridge Road is the closest name most travelers know, with big-rig pull-throughs, full hookups, and two pools. Deep River Campground & RV Park off McDowell Country Trail is also just minutes away and offers full-hookup sites, cabins, and tent spots. Holly Bluff Family Campground on NC 49 South runs about 98 sites along the Deep River, and Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park adds a pool and organized family activities. Any of these works well as a base for a full day at the North Carolina Zoo.

Yes, the private parks in Asheboro are built for full-hookup RVing. Zooland Family Campground, Holly Bluff Family Campground, Deep River Campground & RV Park, and Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park all offer sites with 30 and 50 amp electric, water, and sewer, plus on-site dump stations at most of them. If you need a big-rig pull-through, Zooland is a solid pick. Keep in mind the public campgrounds in the nearby Uwharrie National Forest are different: Arrowhead has electric but no water or sewer at the site, and Badin Lake is non-electric, so plan your hookup needs by exactly where you decide to stay.

Yes, and it's worth the short drive of about 35 miles southwest. Arrowhead Campground in the Badin Lake Recreation Area has 48 sites with electric hookups at sites 12 through 45 and an on-site dump station, and it stays open year-round. Badin Lake Campground sits right on the lakeshore with sites for RVs and trailers between 16 and 40 feet, but it's non-electric and has no dump station, so arrive self-contained. Both are managed by the US Forest Service and take reservations through Recreation.gov. Expect flush toilets, hot showers, and easy access to hiking, fishing, and boating on Badin Lake.

Asheboro handles big rigs better than a lot of small towns. Zooland Family Campground is the standout, with big-rig pull-through sites and full 30/50 amp hookups, so you don't have to unhook to settle in. Holly Bluff and Deep River also take larger rigs, though it's smart to call ahead about site length and turning room. Getting there is easy since I-73, I-74, and US 220 are modern four-lane freeways and the US 64 Asheboro Bypass loops you around the town center. The one place to slow down is the narrow rural roads toward Pisgah Covered Bridge and the Uwharrie forest campgrounds.

We recommend booking ahead, especially in summer and on fall weekends when the North Carolina Zoo pulls in a lot of family traffic. The private parks, Zooland, Holly Bluff, Deep River, and Yogi Bear's Jellystone, take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone, and weekly and monthly stays are common. For the public campgrounds in the Uwharrie National Forest, Arrowhead and Badin Lake, you reserve through Recreation.gov, and popular lakeshore sites go fast. Midweek stays in spring or fall are the easiest to walk into, but a call the day before never hurts if your plans are loose.

Yes, though it depends where you stay. The private Asheboro campgrounds, including Deep River Campground & RV Park, Zooland, and Holly Bluff, have on-site dump stations that are generally free for guests. In the Uwharrie National Forest, Arrowhead Campground has a dump station located across from its pay station, but Badin Lake Campground does not have one, so you'll need to be self-contained or dump elsewhere. If you're just passing through and need to empty tanks, check our guide to RV dump stations in Asheboro for the public and pay options around town before you leave.

Spring and fall are the sweet spots. April and May bring mild days in the 70s, green forests, and comfortable nights, while September and October offer cool, low-humidity weather and good fall color across the Uwharries. Summer is the busiest season thanks to the zoo, but July highs push near 90 with muggy nights and afternoon thunderstorms, so you'll want a shaded site and working AC. Winters are short and generally mild, with January highs around 48, though occasional ice storms roll through. If you want quiet and pleasant weather, aim for a weekday in late spring or early fall.

Asheboro sits in the center of North Carolina and is easy to reach by RV. I-73, I-74, and US 220 run together right through the west side of town, all modern four-lane freeways with standard clearances. The US 64 Asheboro Bypass is a four-lane freeway that loops south of the city with several interchanges, so big rigs can skip downtown entirely. For east-west travel, I-40 is about 28 miles north through Greensboro. Fuel is plentiful along the US 64 Business and NC 49 corridor and at the interstate interchanges, including truck-friendly stations for larger rigs that need room to pull in and out.

They're different, so it matters which you choose. Arrowhead Campground has electric hookups (50 amp, 30 amp, or 110-volt) at sites 12 through 45, plus an on-site dump station, hot showers, and flush toilets, and it's open year-round. Badin Lake Campground, right next door on the lakeshore, is non-electric with no dump station, so you'll run on batteries and your fresh and waste tanks. Both charge around $20 a night for a single site, with Arrowhead adding about $7 for electric. Reserve either through Recreation.gov, and grab a shore site early because those are the first to book up.

You've got several options in and around Asheboro. Briles Oil & Gas at 514 McDowell Road refills propane cylinders at the counter during business hours, and Euliss Propane has served Randolph County since 1952. AmeriGas has locations in town, and Tractor Supply and Southern States handle tank exchanges. Shaw RV's Asheboro location can also fill your RV's onboard propane tank before you head out. It's smart to top off in town before driving into the Uwharrie National Forest, where services thin out quickly and you won't find a convenient refill station anywhere near the lake campgrounds.

Absolutely, that's one of Asheboro's biggest strengths. From a campsite here you're about six miles from the North Carolina Zoo, 15 miles from Randleman Lake, and 35 miles from Badin Lake and the Uwharrie National Forest. Greensboro is roughly 28 miles north for city amenities, shopping, and interstate connections, and the Deep River State Trail runs through the county for paddling and hiking. Because I-73, I-74, and US 220 tie the area together, day trips are quick. We often set up at a full-hookup park near the zoo and use it as home base for a week of exploring the region.

Not in the city itself, but the Uwharrie National Forest about 30 to 40 miles southwest allows dispersed camping under Forest Service rules. That means no hookups, no services, and a pack-in, pack-out approach, so your RV needs to be fully self-contained with fresh water and battery power. The forest also has OHV areas popular with off-road campers. Before you go, check current conditions and any fees or permits with the Uwharrie Ranger District, since dispersed rules and closures change seasonally. If you want something in between, Badin Lake Campground gives you a developed but non-electric site right on the water.

Many of them are. Zooland Family Campground and Deep River Campground & RV Park operate year-round, and in the Uwharrie National Forest, Arrowhead Campground stays open all year with electric sites and a dump station. Some private parks reduce hours or close amenities like pools in the off-season, so call ahead in winter to confirm what's running. The climate cooperates for most of the year: winters are short with January highs around 48, and hard freezes are occasional rather than constant. If you're winter camping, choose an electric site so you can run a heater, and watch the forecast for the odd ice storm.

Plenty. Pisgah Covered Bridge, built in 1911 over the West Fork of the Little River, is one of only two historic covered bridges left in North Carolina and makes a nice short stop, though the access road is narrow so leave the trailer at camp. The Uwharrie National Forest offers hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and OHV trails, plus fishing and boating on Badin Lake. Closer to town, Randleman Lake has a marina and shoreline fishing, and the Deep River State Trail adds paddling and walking routes. Downtown Asheboro has local shops and restaurants worth a stroll after a day out.
