For Hanging Rock State Park: Great park with a lot of nature related activities to do. Hiking trails are well maintained. Campsites are great and well leveling not found in other parks that we’ve been. The internet/data is limited and you might find some near the visitor center, but after all we were looking to be isolated from civilization and spend our time in nature. Restrooms are not as clean and full of spiders.

For Hanging Rock State Park: We stayed in Hanging Rock State Park for 7 days at around $18/day. Rate for Fri & Sat were higher. This park is fairly remote so our last supplies run was at Walnut Cove 10 miles near the park. Our site#33 was spacious but need leveling to make things right, which the same for all campsites here. From our site, it was short walk to centralized comfort station (showers/toilets/sinks) but it is a throwback to 1930s; showers are 2x2 solitary confinement cell with no hooks to hang a tower nor shelve for soap box! And why put 2 antique urinals in single person space? Tired of no cell signal to make/receive calls, we moved site#58 few days later. Beside decent LTE/3G signal at the new site, comfort station is a bit more spacious, especially the shower stalls and even have wooden bench for your stuffs while showering. WiFi maybe had at Visitor Center and nowhere else. This campground has no dump station, and that will put a kink in your week long stay. Trash/recycle receptacles were reasonable spaced, the same with fresh water spigots. Beach is accessible by short hike from parking lot, same with fishing pier. Most of days that we were there, thick blanket of fog covered entire park. Gate lock between 10PM and 7AM felt like unnecessary detention, and will be different for other months. So if you make appointment early in Winston-Salem, you are screwed. Would we come back? Probably not.

For Hanging Rock State Park: Excellent value for the price. Wonderful hiking trails. RV sites are small but well spaced, and roadways are narrow, which explains why we didn't see any large rigs there. We were in a 24 foot Class C. Sites are shaded, with a table and fireplace, but none have electricity or water. There is no dump station, either, in the entire park. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Surprisingly, there were absolutely no mosquitoes the one day we stayed here (July 8-9, 2017), making the overnight visit all the more pleasant.

For Hanging Rock State Park: Great place for camping and other activities including trout fishing in the lake. Try to schedule your visit during the week because it gets crowded on the weekends. Normally in the summer the campground is full on weekends so get reservations if that is when you are going.
