Norwood Campground

Great stay. Super friendly staff (family owned and operated). They were so helpful. Nice swimming pool. Activities for kids. We will be back.

This was our first time staying at a family-owned rv park, and I can tell that our preference is to stay at state parks. Since Morrow Mountain books well in advance, we decided to take a last-minute trip to the Uwharrie National Forest. This was the only option in the area. It felt like renting a house in the neighborhood versus getting a hotel room. This is primarily a residential rv park. Some are well maintained, but many were eye-sores. The site that we rented was the tent area since we only needed electricity hook-up. Those site are very narrow and offer little if any privacy. The owners are helpful, even taking you to your site, and if you liked family campground with "amenities" like a pool and rec hall, this might be the place for you. However, it looks much better on the website, and we felt that we couldn't really hang out outside of our camper due to mosquitos and noisy neighbors. There was nothing to really do in the area other than mountain bike or hike in the Uwharrie. It is in a remote area with no cell phone service for us, so the Wifi at the campground was a nice option. The showers and bathroom were fine, but we will definitely only do back to the area if we can stay at Morrow Mountain State Park. It is more affordable and gives you more space and greater sense of nature.

Camped here as a kid for about 10 years. Have not been here in 30 years. Old School Family Campground. Tucked back into the woods with easy access to the lake. Site 77 has no sewer, but good for short stay. Just as rough and rocky as t has ever been. Owners seem super nice. Free Pancakes on SATURDAY!!

We’ve been tent camping in state parks for 30 years. Bought our first camper and thought Norwood might be the place to try it out. We did not like the experience. The owners were super sweet but the costs seemed absorbent for what turned out to be a motor home neighborhood. No beautiful scenic views or nature filled hiking trails; just rows and rows of RVs.
