Anyone know of a good place to go camping near the triad area. Kinda looking for a place to just camp and let the dogs play. Any ideas?
 
I'd say go for a ride to URE and hit Arrowhead probably very quiet this time of year and hot showers etc.. Plus a power post so you could bring a small 120v heater :)

There is a small field on the right just as you reach the campground, a few signs say no camping there but the dogs would have a ton of room to run.
 
Hanging Rock?
 
you know i didnt even think of uwharrie. Since the trails are closed I didnt think about the camp sites. I might have to hit that up
 
Something else that is nice is Oak Hollow Campground in High Point. Right on the lake, maybe 3 miles from the mall, so you can run out and see a movie or whatever.

But for getting away from it all, URE...(Arrowhead is closed I think, but the horse sites might be open?)

...or if there is an OPEN invite, DPG, gives ya something to watch too, and I think several of the guys camp overnight during open invites (NOT OPEN ANY OTHER TIME..just had to say it)

There is a real nice campground on High Rock just south on the main drag in Lexington, will be on left before you cross the lake.
 
I went backpacking in Uwharrie last weekend. Didn't see too many people and it was very nice out there. I always recommend there. Heck, if you head out there lemme know I'm always down for a trip there.
 
Hanging Rock--No bathroom facilities till March

Pilot Mountain--Same as above

Stone Mountain--Good to go right now.

All three of these are an easy drive from the Triad. In fact, I'm planning a camping trip to Stone Mt this weekend. Just hoping that it is warmer on Friday, and dryer on Sunday.
 
I love Uwharrie because I've always been more into true primitive camping with no facilities. Linville Gorge is an awesome place to go because it's designated as a wilderness area.
 
I'm gonna be in Uwharrie Saturday and Sunday camping out past the dam and doing some shooting if anyone wants to join. (336) 870-4660, Jonathan
 
I always liked camping in the grass between the Holliday Inn and the Waffle House
