Cedar Rock Campground

Creek access and hiking proximity make Cedar Rock Campground a practical base for outdoor activities near Traphill, North Carolina. The private campground sits alongside a flowing creek, with campsites positioned to take advantage of the water sounds. Stone Mountain State Park lies within easy driving distance, offering extensive trail networks and rock formations.

The campground maintains clean facilities including restrooms, showers, and a small playground that draws families with children. Sites feature electric and water hookups for RVs, while tent campers can access grassy areas and a small beach section along the creek. The gravel road system allows kids to bike safely within the campground boundaries. Owners live nearby and check on guests regularly, selling firewood and addressing needs throughout the day.

Cell service varies by carrier, with some areas experiencing limited coverage. Sites cluster relatively close together, though the creek-adjacent spots at the far end provide more separation. Megan M. notes that "nothing beats falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the creek." The facility prohibits alcohol and welcomes pets.

Cedar Rock works well for campers wanting creek access and proximity to Stone Mountain's hiking trails, particularly when the state park campground reaches capacity.

Great spot!

Very clean and taken care of. Owners are friendly and check in daily. The creek is very nice and creates the perfect amount of ambient noise. I found ample amount of space between spots. We had all the space we needed and some. We have an 8person tent. We will definitely be coming back.

very nice and laidback campground!

We just stayed at cedar rock over the weekend and enjoyed every bit of our time there! very laid back and the owners are so sweet! you can buy firewood from them and they usually come through a few times a day to check if anyone needs anything! The bathrooms and showers are very clean. There is also wifi! Service was non existent for us (AT&T) but it was so nice! I recommend this campground to anyone wanting a laid back camping trip.

Quiet setting beside of a beautiful trout stream

We have tent camped here many times and it is always a great time.
Nothing beats falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the creek. Small playground isn’t much to look at but my kids (10 and under) always use the heck out of it. They love riding their bikes along the gravel road and grassy hillside. If you’re tent camping the best spot is the far end, I believe number one and two. So secluded and private.
There’s a small beach area that you get kids can use as access to swim and rock throwing.
This campground is only a few miles from Stone Mountain state park. Lots of great hiking. In the summer you have to check out Widows Creek. Sliding rocks and waterfalls and a swimming hole only .2 miles off the road.

We love camping at this clean, simple campground.

Friendly owner, simple, small and quiet

Cedar Rock Campground is located near Traphill NC. We had hiked Stone Mountain and this is a great over-flow campground if Stone Mountain is full!

Cedar Rock is a quiet campground located within 15 minutes of Stone Mountain. The owner lives across the street - we actually pulled in his driveway first before finding the campground! He was very friendly and re-directed us across the street.

As we pulled in, the campground was clearly labeled and alcohol was clearly labeled not allowed. The campsites are right on the creek and a nice grassy hill is across from each site. The sites are reasonably spaced, but a bit close for our comfort.

The bathhouse was clean, trashcans were taken care of and tidy and this was one of the cleaner campsites we have been to. The kids loved the playground found in the middle of this campground. The babble of the brook was nice for sleeping and the field was great for rolling - the sites were a bit smaller than we like and the driveway was very close to each site. In a pinch, this campground works!
