I85 area campground Virginia, North Carolina
I'm doing a google map search for a campground convenient to I 85 in the Virginia, North Carolina border. I'm not really finding anything. This will be an overnight stop while traveling to Georgia ...

We use JC Cooper Campground at Satterwhite Point on Kerr Lake. It is a NC State Park. You can have 50-amp connection (no water this time of year). There is a dump station. The campground is about 10 mile off of I-85.
Although coming south, Map Quest would tell you to use exit 223, we use exit 214.
There is a good possibility that no one will come by to collect the fee from you ($25/night - $19 if you are 62 or older.) We go by the office (across the street form the entrance) and pay the next morning. But, if you are leaving early, the office will not be open and you could have a free night.
On edit: I see that Kimball Point has been recommended. It is part of Kerr Lake Recreation Area and It would be our choice at other times of the year, but it closes after the last weekend of October. (Reopens in April.)
