About Us
Our Story
Saxapahaw Campground was conceived to provide a unique camping experience for visitors to the village of Saxapahaw and surrounding area with its many attractions and activities. The campground encompasses 10 acres of beautiful wooded land and is located right on the Haw River just below the Saxapahaw dam. It is an easy 10-12 minute walk from the campground to the village of Saxapahaw.
Amenities
Fresh drinking water is available in several locations around the campground. Food and supplies can be found in the village of Saxapahaw. For easy access to the village, the Haw River Hiking Trail runs along the river’s edge and provides a path to the bridge to cross the river. It's an easy 10-12 minute walk to the village. There is a central gathering place under the 22×40 foot pavilion which is located in the middle of the campground. Another popular area is around the campground main fire pit, which is close to the river's bank. There are two nice hot outdoor showers for bathing and our clean and frequently serviced toilet house provide real flush toilets. Included with your camping is free Wi-fi as well as free ice from our self-serve ice house. Strategically placed trash receptacles are provided to help you keep the campground clean.
