Hanging Rock State Park

Enveloped by the rugged peaks of North Carolina's Sauratown Mountains, Hanging Rock State Park Campground offers an immersive retreat where cascading waterfalls, tranquil woodland trails, and panoramic mountaintop vistas await. This year-round destination combines the raw beauty of quartzite cliffs with thoughtfully designed amenities that cater equally to adventurous hikers and families looking for relaxation.

With 73 campsites spread across two forested loops, campers can choose from tent and limited RV accommodations, all featuring picnic tables, fire rings, and accessible bathhouses with hot showers. For group outings, five primitive camping sites provide a more rustic experience, while ten cozy vacation cabins equipped with kitchens and modern conveniences offer alternative lodging options. Though there are no RV hookups, the scenic environment more than compensates. The campground is perfectly situated for exploring over 20 miles of hiking trails, including the challenging ascent to the park’s namesake Hanging Rock, which rewards visitors with dramatic views of the surrounding landscape.

Located just outside the charming town of Danbury and 30 miles north of Winston-Salem, the campground serves as a gateway to rich recreational opportunities. Within a short distance are canoe rentals on a serene lake, seasonal swimming spots, rock climbing sites at Moore’s Wall, and access to the gentle Dan River for tubing and kayaking. Whether seeking adventure or peaceful seclusion, Hanging Rock State Park Campground seamlessly blends convenience with the natural splendor of North Carolina’s Piedmont region, making it a must-visit for weekend getaways and extended outdoor escapes alike.
