Jones Station RV Park and Campground

At first glance, Jones Station RV Park feels like a hidden gem. The grounds are clean, quiet and well-maintained, but offer little amenities for the price. When we arrived in June, Ms. K, the owner helped us find our site and we looked forward to our long-term stay.

Unfortunately, our experience changed after our interactions began on day two with the on-site manager. What initially felt like a friendly RV community quickly took on a more restrictive and unwelcoming tone.

Parking:
We were thankful to have a spot but unfortunately our first spot was unlevel and far too small for our rig. Because of this, we could only fit one car (based on their strict site parking rules), even though most sites could fit two. While the park only guarantees one parking space per site, we initially parked in another open area, not realizing it wasn’t for overflow. After about a month, we were told to move and informed that overflow parking was along the tree line — where falling branches, leaves, and muddy ground would damage our cars. Since we were moving to a new site in just a couple of weeks that would fit both cars, we asked if we could pay a prorated fee to stay put temporarily. The manager wasn’t willing to help or offer any flexibility, considering we were the only residents in this predicament.

Pet Rules:
We always kept our dog leashed, except when we took her to the large open field to play fetch, an area where no one else was around and far from any residents' camp sites. After several weeks, this suddenly became an issue, even though other residents seemed to be held to different standards and were allowed to have their pet unleashed at their site.

Bird Feeder and Fence Policies:
We hung a small bird feeder, not realizing it was against the park’s rules since the manager had one in his yard as well. When this was pointed out, we promptly removed it. Similarly, we had placed a small fence around our camper to allow our pet to walk when we were outside, as others do in the campground. Again, we were asked to remove ours due to “maintenance reasons”, though that area was never mowed afterward and this broke no rules in the book.

Over time, it became clear that the problem wasn’t the rules, it was how they were enforced. Some residents and staff seemed more interested in policing others than fostering a welcoming community. By the end of our stay, we felt singled out and unwelcome. That said, if you’re staying for a short visit, Jones Station RV Park could be a nice choice…but think twice for long term stays.

I am sure they will type a rebuttal to this review, but I have photo evidence of each of these experiences. We have found a new place and are happy, just would not recommend staying here long term.

Second time staying here and no complaints. Haven't met any staff but they are very cordial over the phone. Bathhouse clean and warm. Campground is clean and inviting. Hope to come back when it's warm to enjoy the outdoors.

I cant really rate this place without having the proper scoring technique.. but here goes (deep exhale) This place is a quiet haven for the road weary and older crowd, host was very kind and accommodating, she extended twice upon request, nice spacious lots , drive through or back in ,your choice. The Front 2 rows of lots toward entrance and the playground have very little to no shade, so be aware for those hot summer days .,bathrooms are very clean and adequate, dumpsters are located at the very rear of property, right near a lovely Pavillion. Electric and sewer work as they should, but very very few amenities. Kids will be bored here, not very close to town ,and did I mention it's very very quiet here.? It is ! But I Highly recommend it !! Thanks for reading .

We would stay here again. It is a quiet RV campground and about 30 minutes to Durham where out soon was in Duke hospital.

What a GREAT place! The campsites are very roomy with nice trees. The landscaping is VERY nice and the people who run it are extremely friendly and helpful! So glad we came!!
