Love camping here, I choose a spot right on the water, which gave me a great pass time of fishing, and the amenities are perfect for me and my family.

Water at the bath house was stone cold. Not Much use for a cold shower when cold out side. The bathroom doors would slam shut at all hours of the night and kept my wife up most of the night. The worst part was the septic smell at our site. I’m not sure if it was full or just always smelly but it was the day’s we were there.
I love Uwharrie and this was my kids first trip out there. Next trip I will camp primitive. As I usually do. The only reason I splurged on the camp ground was for the amenities. And well those amenities were fairly poor.

Seriously one of my favorite places to camp with the family. Plenty of drive up, water front sites that allows us to have everything we need with the three kids. Tent pads are nice, camp spaces are well maintained, easy access to fresh water and bath facilities.
