The only reason I did not rate this as "excellent" is because of the condition of the road leading to the camp. There were lots of ruts and my car rides kind of low. Just be prepared and go slow. Other than that, the place is great! The camp host was most helpful and the bath house was very clean. "Etiquette" expectations are posted and helpful, not obnoxious. Get to the easy hike trail before sunset for a great view over the lake; take a flashlight for the short hike back up the hill!

Great stay. Very clean, and great facilities! The lake is incredible, and reception was good, for the rainy days.

Very nice campground. The sites are spacious with picnic tables. For the most part the bathrooms are clean, I just happened to have a spider jump out at me at the sink area once but you are in the woods. Showers looked clean but we only stayed one night and didn't use them. Just a walk to the lake for fishing. We will probably go again next year. The only problem was finding a grocery store close by when we ran out of water. But again, you are in the forest.

Would have liked full hook ups. Also, the dirt roads entering the campground are a little dangerous with many significant pot holes.

We stayed at Arrowhead in July, for one night on our way to Virginia from South Carolina, and one night on the way back home.
The campground itself is nice and quiet, clean, etc. We especially enjoyed the hot showers on our second night, since we had been boondocking for a week in VA prior to. Overall a very nice experience.

One issue: The road in to the campground from the highway is in pretty rough shape, we had to crawl along at walking speed to avoid bouncing the car and trailer all over the road. That's our only complaint, and it's minor. And it may not even be the campground's fault.

Bottom Line: Two thumbs up from me and my wife.

Campground is very nice, peaceful and quiet. Restroom and showers are very well maintained. Drinking water tastes very good. Fire ring and picnic table are showing their age but very usable. RV drop station is clean and convenient. I love camping at Badin Lake.

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
