Very nice camp ground. They have places to swim with life jackets available. They have some great fishing. My son caught a nice 2 lbs bass off the dock. There is 4 lanes to put your water sports equipment into the water. Its a great place to take the family for camping. The only thing I didnt like was you can only stay 14 days then you have to leave for 17 days. So if your working over the road and need a long term sire this is not for you but the place is nice to just stay at for the 14 days.

This is our favorite place to camp. Electric and water hookups. Dump station isnt too far from the camp sites. Bathrooms are cleaned daily. Great for fishing, swimming, sun bathing, hiking, bike riding, even saw someone on their one wheel zooming around. It is the perfect blend of nature and city. Its 20 minutes to the nearest Target/restaurants so if you forget something, its not too much of a hassle. We try to stay here every other month because its the perfect place to decompress and reset. A HUGE bonus is that there is no breed restrictions so my pups can come. We found an area that we could swim(waters really gross for my liking) and teach him to swim. I cant express just how much I love coming here. Groot does too. Lol.

We had a great camping day here in Loop J. Beautiful water front view. All of the staff were very friendly and awesome firewood for $5! The campground is all gravel, hard to put pegs in. To my surprise the shower waster is pretty warm! The only negative things is that the camp sites are very close to each other, not even many trees in between, we got very little privacy from neighbor, we parked right next to their car. Luckily the night we stayed they were very nice and quiet. So BUGGY now in summer, we plan to come back sometime in fall! ( saw a cute water snake)

A great place for family to go camping. There are a lot of fun things to do: swimming, boating, hiking and more. The area, including the toilet and shower rooms, is safe, kept clean and is well-maintained. The beach is kids friendly. Highly recommended for a quick getaway!

We really enjoyed our weekend here! I was so glad to know there were showers and toilets and a place to blowdry my hair. We got 2 campsites side by side and the whole family had such a great time. Caught some fish, grilled some burgers and had tons of laughs.

Nearly all sites are wooded with large gravel ares where the picnic table and fire rings are located. Sites are mostly level, however some have steep entry that are shared with other sites. Check description before you select. Many of the sites have a view of the lake, typically through some trees. The showers are cleaned daily and well maintained. would stay here again.

Well. So much to say about Jordan Lakes Camping sites. All the information is updated often on the website. We camped for 3 days. Sites are, by personal opinion, close together, maybe 15 feet apart. You can park two cars. Noise is out at 10:00 PM. So for relaxing, great place. For laughing and partying, not so much. No alcohol is allowed.Very family friendly. Kids on bikes and swimming, if youre close to the water. Or there are sites close to playgrounds. We were close to the water, so early in the morning I woke up to do yoga. We enjoyed the day out on the boat and returned to shower and cook. The restroom locations are mostly maintained cleaned. Some people just cant see the garbage can I guess. Showers are good enough. Bring your sandals.You can relax on your chairs go fishing. Lots and lots to do there. The area at Jordan Lake is so big that I cant possibly say what is the best spot. Its a matter or opinion. But you can find lots of information on the website. Jordan Lake Recreational. Super Good Place.

We lived this campground. AllThe sites had plenty of space and are pretty much in full shade. We reserved a site where we could put our kayaks in right from our site. Had a blast discovering so many wild mushrooms.

Our first time camping at Lake Jordan and we had a great time on the water. The sites are very nice and a great size.BIG Problem with the bathhouse though! There is absolutely no air circulation in that place. The shower stalls are extremely too small. And the water is temp is too too hot! Would be better if I could adjust that myself especially for the kids Plus no soap dispensers at the sinks.I was more sweaty and uncomfortable than I was before my shower. NOT GOOD! Putting some large exhaust fans in the rafters would be a great first start.

Great little campground. I stayed on Loop J, which was very clean and had a great view of the water. Bathrooms were surprisingly clean at all times. It could definitely use more space or trees in between sites though. We could hear every conversation near us. Easily solved with some music and a crackling fire!

The campsite was awesome! But more importantly the staff and rangers were amazing!!Henry 537 and McMurry were so helpful and accommodating!!

Awesome camping site! Nice clean place! I come here a lot and everyone is nice but last week the young man who works at the gate was extremely rude and had a very bad attitude. I wonder how he got that job with that attitude! I only asked him couple questions but he was so ignorant. Still nice place to camp with great lake view.

Went camping here this past weekend and it was beautiful. Check-in was quick and easy, restrooms and showers were fairly clean. This is a great place for family and friends to go camping together. Will be back!

I Work Here and Have Camped here Before, Amazing Place! Love the Staff, The Rangers, and The Lake! Would definitely Reccomend Coming Here! Sadly, No Public Beach Acess unless your a Camper, but Ebenezer Church is Open to Everyone! Everyone is Friendly and Kind Here! Also Largest Campground in the State! Family Friendly as Well and Loved by Many!

Nice campground with a nice beach. Love that they have some no reservation campsites. The bathrooms are a little dirty.

Love this camp ground.

Great camping spot on Poplar Point, right next to the lake. It’s always clean and quite.

We enjoyed our stay in this campground. Perfect spot to camp in the woods and go fishing. We caught a couple of fish. Overall experience was great!

This is a fantastic campground with a great staff. We stayed 2 nights at a nice pull-through site. We had a problem with the circuit breaker panel. The layout of the breakers was odd with 20, 30, 50, and 70 amp breakers. We called maintenance and within 10 minutes Mr. Henry Presnell drove up. He flipped on the breakers in the correct positions and we had shore power. Mr. Presnell was very professional, friendly, and helpful. We feel lucky that Mr. Presnell came to our aid.

This use to be a fantastic place but over the last three years the place has really gone down hill. Grass is knee high, the boat ramps are very dark at night. Never see a Ranger or the camp host. I remember when the camp host would ride around and talk to camper and the Ranger would come by several times a day. That doesnt happen anymore and its sad, such a great place. Alot of family memories and fun over the last 30 years. Please put more lights up at the boat ramp like they use to be......

Very nice campgrounds. We enjoyed our stay, even in the sweltering heat! It was beautiful. Going back in the next couple weeks! Also, there are lots of places to shop, eat, etc. nearby. Best of both worlds...camping in the woods but all your shopping needs around the corner!

I must give it 2 stars because of the bathhouse! Everything was fantastic! The sight we are at is awesome! The staff is great! The lake is beautiful but the bathhouse and restrooms were very dirty and had not been cleaned for a while! To bad cause they are great except for mold on the shower curtains and on the floor and trash in the stalls!lUPDATEI bumped it up to a 3 star. They put some new shower curtains up and cleaned some of the mold up but still some mold around and trash still in the stalls. Doesnt seem to be getting a daily cleaning? Everything else about this place is definitely deserves 5 stars! To bad!

Decent for the price always plenty of kids running around for mine to play with. A good number of snakes by the water at night so watch your little ones and pets. The occasional random off leash dog will run through your campsite and steal food as well.

Crosswinds campground was great. Very quiet and peaceful. The beach was clean and the water was warm. Took a minute to get the hange of the motion showers but they were clean. Definitely planning another trip there.

I really love going to Jordan lake no matter what seasons it may be, if you love photography this place is a good spot for a spectacular sunsets.It is also nice to cool down during the summer, and there are various activities you can do for jet ski, canoeing, paddle boarding , boating or simply just lay out in the sun and have fun. I also love hiking and or bring your bike for trail biking and there are also families that do picnic and or play beach volleyball.

This is a great campsite. The bathrooms were not a bad walk, and were clean (although bring your own soap - even for the sinks). There isnt a beachy area that we found to walk up to the lake. It was frigid and windy, so the lake was very choppy and seemed rough and deep right up to the shore. Your neighbors are pretty close, but the layouts provide decent enough privacy. We would go back.

Always have a great time at Jordan Lake. Some of the lots seem to be pretty beat down or have ruts so it would be nice to see a bit more maintenance in that regard. Just try to get one that’s flat and it usually isn’t an issue.

This is my familys favorite place to take our camper. We dont live around here, but the drive is always worth it. The scenery is beautiful, the bathrooms are well kept, but most importantly it doesnt feel like your surrounded by people; theres a pretty good amount of space in between campsites. The lake is great for tubing, kayaking, and they have a roped off section of beach for swimming as well. My whole family and I love it here!

We been camping here for over 10+ yrs now an never had an bad experience ... Wildlife faculty are very pleasant and very much on top of laws an rules..... camp host are usually very attentive and nice.. we even have family that come from out of state to have our family summer reunion just to go camping lol...we love there never a dull moment when. We are spending time in our beautiful nature ...

Great place. Quiet and clean camping site. 😍

We liked the location and the setting. Our site was not level. The biggest issue was someone stole our outside door mat.

Our favorite spot when we cant get all the way down to the beach. Sunsets are pretty great out here too!

Enjoyed our first experience camping at Poplar Point. Sites are nicely spaced and screened with trees inbetween. Rangers were friendly and had our reservation ready at the gate. Spring flooding had limited the number of camping loops open. Lots of clean-up needs to be done before the full campground can be opened. We did experience power outages, but the campground sent repair folks within half an hour and had the problem fixed. The shower facilities could use updating. There are no benches and only one hook on the back of the door to hang things on.Many sites have water views and some even have sandy beaches where you could launch a kayak or canoe. The campground has a boat launch facility and a beach which are limited to campers use, so they arent as crowded as the larger beaches and boat launches locations in the park.We walked the Poplar Point trail and enjoyed bicycling the roads in the park. We will definitely return and bring our kayak.

Love Jordan Lake. Lots of great facilities that are well maintained by the state. Boat ramps, camping and a Marina. Recently improved in several areas. Also some seeded hunting fields and an open area for fowl.

Water and electricity included in the 33 dollars a night stay. Nice secluded sites with an awesome beach area.

Great place to take your dogs. There are a bunch of trails in the woods and and a lot of beach area for your pups to play. Dogs arent allowed on the people beaches but those get too crowded anyway. There is plenty of other water front to take your dogs walking.

Great area to bring your tent or RV. All spots are almost level. Only thing is I wished they had more RV sites next to the water. Most are for tents with no water or power.

This place is very clean and well taken care of. The trail was clearly marked & easy to find / follow. It was not too hard to walk with senior dogs, and they really enjoyed it :) I didnt see any off-leash dogs or piles of poop, which is nice because it means ppl are picking up after their dogs and following the rules, etc...safe and fun park!

The water is so high now. Its a great spot to camp for multiple days or just a day trip. Ive added a few pics of the lake.

I always have fun when I go camping best time of my life

Our campsite was right on the shore of the beautiful lake. At sunset we went to the beach area and we were the only ones there. We had a blast taking tons of sunset shots and I did a time lapse of the sunset. Interesting land formations and trees. It was 27° one night 🥶🧊☃️🧥❄⛄and we were in a tent. Good thing our sleeping bags zip together! 🌡

One of the Best Campgrounds I have been to !

Very nice experience. Recommend.

#C31. This was a nice site flat no step down. View of the water was pretty good from site. We had a bad thunderstorm come in & flooded the site. Running like a river thru the fire pit. Bath house was clean & well updated. Shower stalls with hard doors & dry area divided with shower curtain. motion detected water in shower worked well too.

To be honest Im not the person that usually leaves a review ..but I felt it may help someone..Soo about 2 months ago my family wanted to go camping (something weve all never done) ..so we booked our trip, it was about 20 of us including little kids so we reserved 4 plots that would house 2 tents each ..as time got closer something said look at the reviews the reviews said the rangers haggled you and it was almost as if they were looking for something on people which caused me to worry because we are African American and plus its the week of elections so we were all worried about our safety or if we would be targeted but... Long story short everyone was friendly ..we were the only black family there but everyone treated us nicely,.the park rangers did drive around during the day but they didnt bother anyone..very relaxing environment and everything you need is there at your campsite(power/water).bathroom was very clean .overall experience 10..my trip date was 11/6 -11/8

A beautiful place to go hangout with family and friends or just a book!!

We had a great time!

This place is a great spot get away. Bring the family, bring your friends and dont forget your bathing suit.

Such a wonderful campground! My husband and I came for a weekend to get away from the craziness and the hustle and bustle and Poplar Point was too perfect. The sites are really well-spaced out and everything is so clean. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the trails and lake access are so convenient and clean too! If you are unable to reserve a site ahead of time and have to grab a FF (first come first serve) site like we did, be sure to get there before 5 on Friday to make sure there are sites available because they fill up FAST and there’s a line to check-in. All in all, such a great and beautiful place!!

Easy and cheap Kayak rentals, good parking and friendly staff. I’d recommend this spot to anyone for an afternoon stroll out into the Lake.

Been coming here for about 30 years winter and summer.. always great.

Stopped by on our way home from Chocowinity so we didnt spend much time there. We were hoping to spot a an eagle or a few but no such luck. Definitely want to come back and camp and Bri g our kayaks. The lake is larger than we expected and hope to get to explore it some times. There is a few on weekends, $7 per vehicle.

Wonderful camping area, lots of fun for all qfes. The personnel keep the grounds clean and let people enjoy their stay.

Such a beautiful place on earth can be ..so simple..so serene ..so vast yet so within ones view .. only be dreamt in the morning dream !!!!

Qas approached by a ranger at about 8pm whp came onto our site after popping out from where he was hid in the woods watching us. He said he came to tell us that quiet time starts at 10pm but that we werent being loud or anything. Then he proceeded to open our coolers and check every cup we had by sniffing them for alchoal. After which he called in more Rangers who illegal searched and harrased us without any proof we had done everything wrong. They then wrote us tickets for alchoal and kicked us out. Everything was dropped In quart immediately by the judge because of the illegal search an seizure, harrasment and the other laws they jist decoded they didnt have to follow them selves I guess. Would never go back here and would not recommend for anyone else to go unless you like having youre rights violated and having all of your personal items throw around and searched illegaly.

Great place to spend the day, or camp. Boating, fishing,swimming.

Spots were easy to get into, 4 dump stations (campground c), and pretty quiet as those things go.

Very nice campsite and great fishing. Would like to visit again.

Love the site so far. The energy here is awesome. Great campsite we got. So blessed.

I had made mine and my husbands reservation. Then read some comments,some were not so great. I kept my reservation because my husband had been to Jordan lake a few times with our youngest son and our cousin and each time they came back they had nothing,but good things to say. Now they didnt stay and poplar point campgrounds. My husband said keep the reservation and i did and we were off to camp. Anyways my husband and I had a GREAT time. I felt safe with the park rangers driving through.They didnt once bother us. The younger people working the gate were polite and informative. As I am a small business owner. I go by customer service and they were excellent. Also the showers bathrooms 🚻 were kept clean. I could say so much more. I highly recommend Poplar Point. The next time we go were staying 7 days instead of 3. I normally am one to want to hurry up and leave the day to go home,but I wanted to stay longer,but had to get back home for work😒. Again I HIGHLY recommend Poplar Point campgrounds. 👍👍👍

Loved our weekend here! We will come back here and enjoy this place again for sure!

It was really cool. We woke up at 3:30 a.m. and there was snow everywhere so me and my wife made our first ever snowoman and we took some pictures for everyone to see.

The campground is just fantastic with all levels of outdoors experience provided. Unfortunately, it has what has become ordinary users who simply have no idea what consideration for others is about. Hope for a camping experience sans the trashy neighbors. Happy Camping!

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend camping in the Crosswinds campground. So shady and beautiful, with huge sites. I would give it 5 stars, but the showers were awful. Barely a trickle, no shelf or hooks for your things, no temperature control and a push button start that lasts maybe 30 seconds. We would definitely go back again, and hopefully the bathrooms are on a renovation list!

Well kept up, well marked, clean trails with periodic garbage cans for trash. Great views. Nice mix of up hill and down hill terrain. Would hike here again.

We always have a great time at Jordan lake. The sites are clean and well maintained, the staff are always helpful and polite.

Jus got hea an its been a long time coming jus wat we needed....thank u jesus

Great sites with lots of privacy. It gets crowded on the weekends.

Love this place. Super beach in the summer. Restrooms and playground.

Wonderful walking trails. Slightly high on the difficulty scale. Terrain is mildly hilly. Amazing water views!!

Pretty awesome place to camp. Its a little on the expensive side for me and theres only one trail in Poplar Point, and it was covered in spider webs.But the swimming area was great, water wasnt too cold to swim in, and the campsites were all pretty gorgeous, especially the ones overlooking the lake.

Nice lake. Easy paths to walk.

Nice quiet place to get away for the weekend. 30 amp power and water. Multiple dump stations

We had a great time using our RV for the first time this weekend.

A good place to come camping, well-maintained facilities, staff is nice.

In general nice campground but we were unfortunate enough to get site C1. This site is right by the bathrooms and has a huge street light shining over it. So much so that people walking by looked at us like fish in a bowl and my tent was lit up inside all night. Bathrooms were surprisingly clean (and nearby, Hah). For some reason NC still doesnt allow alcohol in state parks. The ranger drove by a few times but didnt seem to be trying to hard to catch anyone.

Jordan Lake is a nice an tranquil campground with wooded lots and good distance between camp sites. The park rangers were nice and friendly and patrolled on a regular basis. We had electric and water hook up and they have a nice dump station area. At $24 a night you cant go wrong.

Great campground, with clean facilities and a fun playground for the kids! A good place to get away without having to get away.

Had a great time with friends and family at Poplar Point. It was quiet and relaxing. We love the campgrounds around Lake Jordan.

Loved it camped there for my sons 1 brithday he loved It

This is my must visit point whenever I am in Chapel Hill. This place unwinds me and I can just sit there to feel the nature.

Nice spot

Our campsites were nice. Bathrooms were clean, and everyone enjoyed the swimming area.

Great place to swim with the family. Affordable. Some areas have shade to keep out of the sun. Bath house and picnic area are easy to get to.

Very nice place to camp or just spend the day.

C08 Excellent site can put our kayaks in the water right off site, fish, hike...relax!!!

Good place to go with the family, and go swimming.

Had a fantastic weekend camping experience!

It would be nice if campers turned off their lights

Great place to hangout. It was flooded when we were there last time.

First of all no hot water in showers. Big yuck for me. Our campsite is being overtaken in water but ranger let us move. Setting up tents twice. Lake is beautiful. Neighbors not respectful of quiet hours after 10 pm. Perfect for kayaks though!💖

Awesome spot.. Water is up but still so nice!!

Great Campground. Its not a fancy one but the sites are mostly spaced far apart. Large first come first served loop. No sewer hook ups but there is a 4 space dump station

A beautiful place, relaxing, kids and family friendly....

35.789467,-79.006096 this is a place i go to with all my friends at any time. Nice little beach to just lay around on. not very many people, pretty private area, and no one ever comes and says anything about us being there. I havent even seen any officials. Ive been there until 2 am on some nights. There are lots of little points like this around jordan lake. Went kayaking with my parents one day, very fun! And caught myself a catfish a couple of weeks ago. I know there are crappies as well; i saw a dead one on the shore. Sometimes youll catch a crane/stork bird thing nearby catching its own fish. Love it

Great place for camping and fishing. Plenty of good sized catfish. You have to get to he lake at night... so beautiful...

Great Lake love swimming there. Buy the season pass it is $60 for the year. Only problems are the bathrooms are GROSS!!! And people suck and leave trash on the beach. Also I really feel if people are allowed to bring children I should be able to drink alcohol.

Great time we had at Jordan Lake this past weekend .

The campsites are spread out and the campground is heavily wooded, its really quiet and peaceful.

A great place to take the family, the park is kept up very well, the bathhouses & bathrooms are decent , I say decent because people using them make the mess. The staff does a good job on keeping things clean. You just might have gone in there behind a slob. I have been camping at this lake for over 25 years and well keep going. The prices are very reasonable for what you get.
