Winston-Salem, North Carolina campgrounds?
What is the best and closest commercial campground to Winston-Salem, NC.? I am not interested in a park campground, just commercial campgrounds with full hookups and facilities. Thanks!

I've lived in and around Winston-Salem since 1977. If I needed to use a campground in the Winston-Salem area my first choice would be Tanglewood Park despite the fact many sites are not level. It is located in a safe area. Some of the area immediately surrounding the Dixie Classic Fairgrounds is not safe after dark. I would not under any circumstances use the fairgrounds.
With respect to private campgrounds there is one about 20 miles northwest of downtown Winston-Salem off US 52 near Pinnacle. There are also two private campgrounds close to I-40 between Statesville and Winston-Salem. The park off Highway 52 to the northwest is called Greystone RV Park. I have not been there but it rates well on RV Park Reviews. Pilot Mountain State Park is also off highway 52 near Pinnacle. Its sites have no hookups and are more suited to tent camping and popup campers. Most sites are short and leveling may be an issue for a travel trailer or Class B motorhome. There is a dump station and the campground is nicely wooded.
Tanglewood is much more convenient to town but if you want a private campground these are two options near I40 west of Tanglewood and east of Statesville. One is Lake Myers RV Resort near Mocksville. It is in the Encore and Thousand Trails networks. It has a reputation of being poorly maintained and occupied primarily with permanent residents in run down trailers. The other private park is Midway Camground Resort which is much closer to Statesville on I40 than Winston-Salem. It was a KOA until recently when it became a Good Sam park. The reviews on RV Park Reviews are mixed. I have not been there so I can't speak from experience. In Greensboro I would try Hagan Stone Park, a county park south of the city near Pleasant Garden. In High Point I would go to the campground at Oak Hollow Lake. There really aren't many good campground choices in the area and the county park campgrounds are the best.
