Love this beautiful lake! There are 7 access points scattered along the shoreline with tons of campsites. Theres site accommodations with wheelchair access and sites for tents, RVs and groups... many being lakefront. Restrooms are always clean.There are several boat ramps making this lake excellent for water sports and fishing. Ive seen lots of bass, crappie and catfish here.This reservoir is state recreation and spans about 50k acres with 850 miles of shoreline between NC and VA, the majority being in VA. Whether you just want to spend the day or pitch a tent for the weekend, I highly recommend this lake. Dont forget to bring a hammock!!

One of the best rv sites we have visited in NC. Other than the spots being a little close compared to other NC state park options, the view was amazing! Almost every spot has a beach area that you can use. Neighbors were friendly and the park employees drove by every hour or so to check on everything making it safe and clean.

I usually go for boating. The facilities are very well kept. Bathrooms are clean. Staff at the gate is friendly. The water of the lake is clear and clean. Ramps for boats are never congested.Camping area where I stayed was too close to the other sites... it felt crowded.

This was worth the drive!! We went camping with my sister and brother in-law, had a Great time I cant wait to return this summer.

Spent a couple nights at Kerr Lake State Recreation Area. We absolutely loved our spot (#59). We were right on the lake which was perfect to to have our boat right at the camp site. We are looking forward to our next visit. The trip was less than 2 hours away from Greensboro. We will be back!

As always an amazing state park! Great campsites and lake for swimming, fishing, and boating. Also a wonderful place just to have a picnic or a memorable wedding. The park rangers are always close by to make you feel safe and at ease. Take your family, take your dog or even just take yourself to find some tranquility by the water.

Kerr Lake State Park is an amazing place to get outdoors. The campsite is located on the beach, right at the water. The bath houses are clean and well taken care of. Alcohol is Prohibited, and the Park Rangers are on the lookout for it.Great place for the family, or someone that just wants to get away. There are primitive campsite with water, and RV campsites.

I absolutely love going out to the lake! Ive grown up out at the lake. So for over 40 years....... I actually worked as an assistant park ranger as I studied to become a paramedic. After being all over the world in the military for seventeen years I couldnt wait to be home by this great little lake. My happy place.

Stayed at jc cooper site. Got rained on, frozen, and got a sunburn all the same week. We had the place mostly to ourselves until Friday. Took walks, biking, and fishing. Cant wait to go back in the spring.

Very nice. Fiance grew up and played there when he younger.

Stayed at bullocksville campground. Free firewood! We had a very sunny site (63) but very nice views on the lake. Hosts were very welcoming as well.Stay was quiet, even on weekends. Theres a playground, fishing pier, boat launch.I recommend it.

Beautiful lake! Henderson Point has some great camp areas for either tent or camper with beautiful views and sandy beaches for the kids to play! Certain camp areas should be viewed first if your picky about your sites. The recent rainfall has made some roots come up which can be bad for tents. Other then that, great area!

Scenic campground, maintenance guy on site was excellent. He was cleaning the bathrooms thoroughly and regularly due to Covid. Campsites are a bit too close together, and barking dogs were a nuisance.

We are camping and boating from Henderson Point Campground. The facilities are excellent, many sites close to sandy beach. Great campground for families. Campers not extremely friendly.

Sites at Nutbush are very nice, but the hookups are spaced out in a really strange manner. BRING EXTENSIONS FOR WATER AND ELECTRICITY!!!!Also, it seems campers here this weekend do not know about boundaries. If you have to cross a wooden frame board that holds the site pad, you are probably in someones site. Especially true if you have to walk around the occupant (me) in their chair! Lol! Didnt dock them a star for campers, but the hookups are ridiculous. Dump site well placed and has what you would expect.

I really enjoyed the stay. It would have been better if we hadnt been beside the redneck that plays their music loud enough that everyone can hear it but there is always one of those.

A beautiful campground with killer waterfront sites. Some are a bit cramped and lack privacy but overall it’s not an issue. It’s best to book early because sites get taken quickly.

Amazing campsite. We had lakefront property for the week.

I love the lake and love Henderson Point. A few loud folks in their trucks were annoying but not enough to spoil our fun.

We stayed here for our first night, what a beautiful campsite directly in front of the lake. Well spaced out sites, the restrooms were a bit away but everyone seems to respect the speed limit so we were able to walk about. We hiked around 3 miles worth of trails, the only down side was there was trash everywhere, we picked up around 30 pieces of trash on that short hike. Overall great experience, I would recommend this site to anyone.

My first impression as I drove in was that it was very crowded, but as I located our space I realized that it had a generous amount of space and privacy. The next small issue was with water. The faucet was quite the distance from my inlet, and anyone without a long hose will be in trouble. Another issue at this time was the bathroom/shower. The closest one was closed due to Covid, so it was either a short trip to a very overused Porto let, or an inconvenient walk to the only other bathroom. With that said I will say that the bathroom was large, clean and pleasant. The site was very level, large and comfortable with a picnic table and fire ring. Many of the sites had convenient access to the lake, and ours in particular had a private path to a small beach. The park was quite, clean and well patrolled. Back to griping. No WI-FI and limited cell reception. Still we got our moneys worth and will be going back.

Great place to camp our 2nd time will be going back at least once a year or more. Beautiful sunsets always clean and neat bathrooms cleaned every morning and well supplied.

Hot as B@+l* for late July 2020, but it was a great time and beautiful boating lake!! Fishing was slow but we caught about 12 LMB in water that ranged from 88.4 to 92 °F!!! Lucky there was any oxygen in that bath water for the fish!!

Very nice campground. Beautiful lake and it was not too crowded.

Hard to get to our campground with the first road we tried under water. What should have been a 1 hour drive turned in to two. No help when I called the campground since it was after 5pm and no one answered. An email ahead of time advising us of the conditions would have been very much appreciated.

We really enjoyed the trails. Looking forward to the day recreation area opening up again.

I had a good time and got a big catfish and a littol cat

Nice quiet family fun place. Plenty of shade to walk the dogs, lots of open space to explore on the lake. Dump station is a ways away, so keep that in mind. Must have at least 50 water hose, sometimes longer to reach water spigot. We will be back!

If a getaway is what youre looking for then, Kerr Lake State Recreation is the place to be. Secluded and relaxing but not far from much. Clean camping, picnic areas.

Hibernia campground is great. Peaceful and simple. Not overpriced either.Im not big on lake camping but i enjoyed it.

This is a GREAT campground. Our visit at the end of October was perfect. Affordable, clean, great campsites and a beautiful lake. Boat ramp is very good. Many campsites have a small ‘beach’ area, suitable for putting a rowboat, canoe, kayak or inflatable into the lake. Facilities are clean and the camp hosts were nice folks. Roads, sites and dump station are all easily driven with our 34 foot Class A motorhome. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Its nice and quiet but they need to work on the direction signs or offer a map.

Satterwhite point is an excellent place to go for a recreational time with your family. The grounds are kept clean and the park volunteers are always cordial and accommodating. My only complaint is that alcoholic beverages are prohibited, but that wont remove a star from my review

Great place for a family get away for a weekend trip!! Close enough to Raleigh to make it a day trip or spend the night in one of the quality campsites! Facilities are clean and orderly, well kept and maintained! Would recommend for any family outing! Beautiful landscape and scenery campsites are far enough apart you dont feel on top of each other!! Also we got to see a lot of wildlife including eagles herring and fish!

Quiet, calming and comfortable. I cant wait to go back!

JC Cooper Campground clean and nice facilities. Bathhouses could be cleaner but tolerable. Some nice beach areas. Down side...only 1 bathhouse for entire campground.

Clean lake & campsites. Campsites have fire pit area, bring your own grill or char boiler. It is nice that even tent sites have electronic hookups. Sandy banks, no nasty red mud!

Beautiful great recreation lake. Not many fish biting though. Still had a great day on the lake.

We had the best time at Kerr Lake Recreational Area. Good camping spot. Fantastic time in our kayaks. Cant wait to go back!

We love this campground! Nice big sites with lots of room.

Absolutely beautiful lake & very clean. It’s so peaceful being here. We love this campground ️

I needed a place to stay overnight on my way to Maggie Valley. I pulled into the gate about closing time. The attendant, very friendly, told me a storm was on the way and directed me to the vacant spots which were plentiful during the weekdays. He told me we could settle up when he came in the next day. Wanted me to secure my trailer before the storm. I wish I could have stayed longer. Great place and I plan to return in the future.

Great day, watching the sun come up. Couldnt be better.

I absolutely love this place! My favorite camping spot ever!

Beautiful lake that sits on the NC/VA border. A true sense of nature and away from the rush of the city. The weather dynamics and the pure nature scenery make this a perfect getaway spot.

I love kerr lake usually despite its flaws, but its said its open now for several weeks and everytime weve driven up or attempt to call it is obviously not open. Would love if they actually updated the website to let us know, because the first time we drove an hour out there Google said it was open and it wasnt. Very disappointing. The only open area is the boat dock, even though theres tons of trails in the park area to walk as well - all closed. I understand that the Corona virus has changed things, but they need to update their websites and their hours to reflect that.

GORGEOUS park, great camping spaces, clean bathrooms and showers, beautiful!If youre RV camping, bring a long hose for water!

Beautiful place!! Very clean and well taken care of. Gorgeous lake view. Camping sites for both RVs and Tents. Theres also a little kids playground in a bathhouse each site has a place for a bonfire in picnic tables. absolutely lovely place to bring the family

Beautiful park. Great camping sites on the water .Clean bath houses.

Love Kerr Lake. Ive taken my boat and jet ski out on the lake. Ive gone swimming and had a cook out by the lake. Weve had family reunions there where weve cooked out, played softball, and relaxed and enjoyed the scenery. Regardless of what we were doing at the lake weve always had a great time. The area is clean and any staff weve met have been helpful and kind.

We love this place we go thier to get a break from our work thanks from all of us at Wesley Bowen upholstery services in Henderson.nc

Love love love this place! Its always clean and well taken care of. Has a reasonable price to get in as well!

Needs better communication on boat ramp closings. i go to website and no current updates ..i have to travel an hr just to get there then half day tryn to find something open...waisted day.

A large group of us reserved the Group Access site at Henderson Point and everyone had a great time and was very pleased with the condition of the campsite. The grounds were well maintained and the park staff was very friendly and helpful. With a decent size shower & bathroom in just a short walk plus dump access it made the experience more enjoyable. Bring plenty of bug spray though, the mosquitoes were out in full force, not kidding. Shore fishing was not all that thrilling from what I heard but I didnt fish myself so I dont know. I would recommend it but Ive not been to Kerr lake much and there may be better options. The sunrise from this site was pretty killer too. Happy camping.

Lake views were beautifulLots of clam shellsDisplays were nice as well

We drove two hours to enjoy the day because the website said it was open, only for the park ranger to tell us it’s closed and it’s only open for campers ?!!

Always have a great time at Kerr Lake...fishing, boating, swimming or just enjoying beautiful scenery!

Fantastic State Park!!!! The views are breathtaking.

Awesome Lake! Very clean! Nubush boat ramp is easy to use!

One best place to visit. So calm, peaceful and vast.Visit the place before sunset.Lot of bbq grills availableGood for boating.

Lots of places to access the lake here. Great boating and fishing.

Good place to hang on and enjoy with a large family.

One of my favorite places on Earth!

One of our favorite spots to camp in NC. You meet some really nice fellow campers and the sites are well maintained

Very nice place to camp fish visit

Grew up coming here. Best kept secret in NC

Wonderful camping. Clean and safe. Lake is beautiful and not overcrowded. I give 4 stars due to the uneven underwater terrain. Its easy to damage your boat here. Be aware at all times. Otherwise its a fantastic place to spend a weekend.

Beautiful state area. Great place to kayak! Bathrooms & bath houses are in desperate need of replacement. Bugs arent so bad in June.

This place was amazing but there was a lot of water bugs

Beautiful lake, clean and amazing weather. Cant wait for another great family camping trip.

Our favorite place to fish and camp in NC so far! We are from the great lakes and are used to amazing inland fishing. Since moving to NC, Kerr Lake is the only lake comparable to the fishing we miss! A wide variety of species and the lake itself is Beautiful. We have camped at Hibernian Camp ground which was a great experience. Love this lake!

Cool lake with lots of camping for tents and RVers at multiple different campgrounds. They have around 500 sites.Only campground Ive been to that has had water at all their campsites. Even our basic tent site has its own.

Beautiful and so clean. Went with my son and spent a few hours exploring.

Best recreational lake I have been.I have visited there since I was very younger.

Always a joy, the camp host when we arrived there a little later then we planned was great!Very helpful thanks.

This is a large park with nine campgrounds. We had booked our waterfront site online and were looking forward to watching the sunset over there lake. My low rating is due to staff unresponsiveness. The park itself appeared to be beautiful although sites are snug and even crowded in some parts. When we arrived after eleven hours on the road, we were told we werent at the right campground and would have to drive another half hour. We asked if our reservation could simply be moved to the park we had arrived at and although there were available sites we were told that she couldnt change reservations from campground to campground, that only the main office could and they were closed. She told us that we could just book a new campsite with her though, paying twice. When asked about a refund for our first reservation she shrugged and said she didnt think we could get one. So we drove the half hour to find that our campground was closed due to flooding. The both attendant there did however change our reservation to the park we had first been at. So, after another half hour waiting for him to do that, we drove back only to be told that there was no reservation in our name. She calls the other park and no one picks up. She then calls the main office, the one she had told us was closed. As we waited, she told us that three other campgrounds had also been closed due to flooding so she must have known that the one we had booked our reservation at was closed too when she went sent up there. Another hour later, we had the reservation switched and got parked and hooked up just before it got dark. We were not given a waterfront site, although she had said there were some that hadnt been flooded. In the morning, I walk around to see beautiful spacious waterfront campsites sitting vacant. I met another couple who had had a similar experience with the both attendant that we had. She simply wasnt inclined to attend to us or serve us in any way.

This is a fantastic place to take your children especially small kids,you dont have to worry about any glass any paper any trash anything like that they take very good care of their property my kids went for the first time and had a blast they stayed all-day with their friends and all they kept saying after we left was, mommy that was so fun that was great I love that place can we come everyday lol I would give it 8 stars if they had a opportunity to get it. Yes its an amazing place to go with a family,or party,or gathering,or pretty much anything we had a blast n will definitely be going back️

JC Cooper Area 1 #84 & #85Small sites with large driveway.Nice big natural area behind sites.Bath house is nice some new upgrades & very spacious. Bathroom is small but close by.

Beautiful! Great camping spot

Wonderful weekend, could not have asked for anything better.The picture of the tree is just something,we have watched growing over last few years,It was a small limb that was bent over and just started growing in different directions.

Took my students to exit 217. One student asked me what country we were in. Peaceful. Transports you. Makes you forget youre in Henderson.

Great camping sites right on beach front, lots of trees for shade, firepit with grill, and clean bathroom/shower house. Highly recommend!

Mr. Abbott, head of maintenance, came out at 1am to fix our electrical issue. The man was super nice, quick, and was very apologetic very the issue. He even said he would come back and check on us tomorrow to make sure we had no more problems. John is one of those who keep those parks functioning. We really appreciate you!

Fish are biting here! Yall stay home and let me catch them!

Lake was flooded, first two nights the showers were closed due to back ups... overall, ok

Good place to go fishing

Stayed and camped at Henderson Point with grandbabies for a week. The only downside was rain, grandbabies had a blast. Great place to camp. This is our home away from home.

Beautiful peaceful place. The restrooms was nice. The camping spot was amazing. Planning a trip to go back already.

Camp layout was a little confusing at first, as there seemed to be the absence of signs to direct you where to go and where places were located. Once we found a spot, we were very pleased with the camp site. Some of the ones out there, however, didnt look very level.

Great fishing and if your a outdoor enthusiasts, youll have fun.

Just a Awesome lake and facilities.

This is one of the nicest boat ramps I have ever been to. I wish there were some picnic tables around the main ramp but we found some at the smaller ramp. Had a great time and caught our first NC catfish. Cant wait to go again!

Awesome time. Bathrooms are maintained

North Carolina State Parks are the best places to stop and take a deep breath of fresh air and take in nature beauty. Great affordable prices for weekend and week long camping.

Only downfall is the mosquitoes. All the rest is positive!

Nice lake an its never super busy which I personally like, camp sites are nice. Its a nice quiet spot to get away to some peace an quiet. An for fishing its awesome. But if storms come in GET OFF THE LAKE QUICKLY IT GET ROUGH FAST.

We have been camping at NorthBend for almost 40 years. Electricity & water on most of the sites. Love having the electricity but it opened up parts of the park that had been used by tent camper to big giant motor coaches and some trees had to be cut down because the tops of the coaches were hitting the low branches, which now makes the sites more sunny. The bathroom staff do a great job cleaning up after people who I think were raised in a barn. People state & federal parks are short staffed because of cut in funding and it would not hurt you to pick up behind yourself or your animals. Oops pet peeve of mine.

Beautiful lake

Only one here. Amazing

We stayed at the Satterwhite Point JC Cooper Campground and I managed to get a 35-foot motor coach + car through those woods in Pitch Black. I say that to say that the roads are well-marked however the spaces are we bit tight to get into with a coach that size. I recommend staying over at Nutbush Bridge as those sites seem to be a little bit more open to bigger pieces of equipment. It is safe to say that if you have a travel trailer or a short fifth wheel youll have no problem getting into these spaces. 35 feet up to 42 ft will get in there just understand that it will take some patience and a DW that can navigate you into the space.
