I grow up around the lake even before it was filled great place to explore as a child and today. The parks have been very well maintained and improved over the years. I have walked many a mile picking up arow heads back in the day.

Crispy clean air, nice clean lake, see people fishing, camping, nice picnic area

The lake itself is beautiful and the trails are pretty fun! Scenery on the way there is nice too. Highly recommend especially if you need a day to float on some water and let it all go for a couple hours

Beautiful lake. Its a little busy but everyone on the water is so nice.

Love loop F at Poplar Point. Camp Host was super nice. Great weekend trip. Only complaint is the bathhouse had been renovated and its very nice, just needs some daily TLC with bleach and new curtains please. Otherwise cant wait to come back!

This place is really great! So peaceful and overall wonderful place to take the family and enjoy nature. The lake is beautiful and the sunset was breathtaking! Our camping site was neat and free from debris. They have big trash tins positioned at every other site so you dont have to walk far, and they keep them clean and tidy. No trash overflowing. Loved it!

Jordan lake is one of the best recreation area to go in around the area. It has everything for you and your family and your dog to have a wonderful day.

I enjoyed another great visit camping at the Poplar Point campground last week. I met friendly fellow campers and park rangers. My favorite place to enjoy the beautiful outdoors and the beautiful lake.

I was driving towards Cary and saw the entrance to the state park. I pulled over for a few minutes and was amazed. I will definitely be returning to hike and camp and enjoy the amenities here!

Nice campsite in Poplar Point campground. Off-peak is the time to go if you want some peace. It is close to Pittsboro, Apex, Cary, and Raleigh-Durham.

Poplar Point campground is fantastic. This was our second time here. We have found that Loop E has some of the most scenic, enjoyable sites but they are walk up only so it is first come, first serve. Both times we have been here we spent Friday night at a different site, and then found people leaving Loop E on Saturday morning and were able to move into their site. E50 is a favorite with great water access and perfect launches for kayaks and paddle boards. The park also offers a military discount so for $20 a night (non-electric) this place is tough to beat!

We went camping in our travel trailer for the first time and it was a great experience! We brought our 2 shepherd dog and 2 year old. The place was very peaceful and relaxing. Everyone was friendly and nice. Already booked our next trip

This place is gorgeous. (Covid BS seems to be having a weird effect. Places in the middle of the woods closed, but lets ALL go to Walmart. )My only complaint here would be the bathroom and shower facilities. They REALLY could use some work. Other than that, nothing that Im not really enjoying.

Very private public site. Love how comfortable I feel here. My only concern is the restroom. No place to put your change of clothes or change after showering. Otherwise, Ill definitely be back. Thanks Jordan Lake!!

Very nice and peaceful to be here. Nice to relax and enjoy with friends.

Great place for recreation and camping with the family. the camp sites are a little close together but the way the have the power outlet boxes set up. if you park your camping vehicle right you will have decent privacy.. most site are with in 100yards of water. I am definitely looking forward to coming back.

We love to go camping, fishing and even using the recreation center. We havent had any luck on fishing. Last time we went camping our camp site flooded but it was still fun and we made memories that day trying to dig a canal so the water would drain and our tent wouldnt flood.

Its a great place to camp and fish, the showers need a bench to put your clothes on, and they need to spray down the bathrooms to clear out all the spiders!

The park rangers are awesome! The sites are well maintained, but I was disappointed that none were on the water (section B).

E43 has a beautiful view with beach access for kayaks or a nice swim. Plenty of room and plenty of privacy. Beautiful camping

Theres the good, the bad and the dirty at this location. Granted, Im pretty sure it isnt known for its trails, it was still very disappointing. Actually, when we went to enter the trail, a group of teenagers walking by said something like, They have trails here?? The lake itself is beautiful and was relatively clean the day we visited (a lot cleaner than some other lakes weve been to in the state). However, we like to walk the trails and explore when theyre available.The first thing that got us, once you managed to locate a trail, it was poorly marked/overgrown and you had no idea which way you were supposed to go. We decided to press on and see what laid ahead, when things got worse. There was trash EVERYWHERE. Downed trees, trash and no markers forced us to make our own path back to the street and to our car. I had to PAY to experience that?? What, then, is the money going towards if not the upkeep if the park?

There are alot of spiders in the facilities and it seems like they do not do much maintenance the facilities either.Privacy is non existant considering that the shower stalls have low doors and no curtains.The sites are kept up for the most part regarding cleanliness and trash being picked up regularly the views are clean and the water clear.Over all a beautiful lake view and good well kept trails just dont be Arachnophobic

Good place to spend time

Review for Polar Point @ Jordan Lake.* generous lot sizes both camper and tent sites* camper sites have both water and electricity hookups* $5 firewood generous bundles* great treeline and waterfront viewsCons:* Aged facilities* Experienced extended power loss which led to non-functioning bath facilities (no water and lights)Overall:Great nearby getaway camping to get away

Nice camping spots, far enough apart that youre not on top of your neighbor. Clean restrooms, great lake.

Very beautiful. Campsites are a little close!

It would be nice to pick your campsite like some of the camping places in outerbanks. We tried to pitch our tents outside the gravel where there were some clear grounds, but the ranger stopped us. Even with our matts it was so uncomfortable sleeping on the gravel. We were the very first campsite so there was cars driving by and we could hear the lovely sound of the freeway. Other than that the bathrooms and lake were great!!!i would go back.

One of 3 lake campsites I routinely enjoy. Jordan Lake Popular Point is super quiet and easy to get to. Most sites are shaded with plenty of space.

Nice. Even has sandy beaches. You can do a camp fire, fish, or boat. Great time. Highly recommend it.

Love this place SO MUCH!

Very nice! Clean affordable full hook up fo camping. Clean showers nice peaceful family atmosphere.

Always a pleasure to get out into nature do a little fishing take a walk see all sorts of cool birds

Great Park for all, especially families.

I really like it here. Nice place and great price to camp.

Boating, swimming, kayaking and just having fun. Best place to have it all.

Great place to take the family for a fun day on the water. You can pull boats and jetskis up to the little beach area and stay out all day for just $7 per car. Had a very fun day with the family. No issues with rude people or anyone getting in your personal space. Nobody messed with our stuff on the beach either while we were out on the water. I will definitely be back in the future.

Good as always nice site and good lake

Peaceful park to take a stroll and enjoy nature, there are some easy going trails... we decided to take a walk down to the lake. We saw a few boats, swimmers and hikers throughout.

The perfect place to convene with water and earth

Hidden gem. Every visit brings surprises!

Had our Inaugural camping trip at Jordan Lake. Our site was perfect. Really set a high bar for future sites. Well be back!!

Great place to getaway! Clean and safe

Amazing lake with a beach. There is space to play volleyball. Enough parking space. You can sit there till the sun goes down on a cold day.

Really gorgeous campground right near the lake. We had a wonderful time. However, my only complaints are that the only working water was at an RV site (the faucet by the bathrooms was broken) and the trash cans were not secured to prevent raccoons and birds from easily getting in. We heard quite a few raccoons rummaging through the trash cans near our tent all night.

My family enjoys camping at Poplar Point campground. Nice shaded quiet campsites.

I enjoy it a lot! The only wrong thing are the restrooms, internal door in bad condition, it needs update, the rest excellent!

Record # of people flocking to state parks this year = huge revenue. Basic maintenance and safety needs are not being addressed. Where are the funds going?

Pretty standard for a Hardees, very clean restroom

Always a good time at Jordan lake. Campsites are fairly large. Bathrooms kept clean.

Beautiful area and lake. Convenient and well-priced rentals.

Beautiful camp grounds. Clean sites! Friendly people.

This place is the ideal place for you to go with your friends and family to hang out. The view is really nice and relaxing. You can also take a lot of amazing pictures too.

We camped here at the the Crosswinds Campground in our RV for a quick overnight. The sites were large and the bathrooms were clean and updated. It was well maintained and we felt safe. The water was turned off at the sites due to low winter temps, but we were warned well ahead of time. We chose this campground because it was a short drive from RDU, only 20 minutes. Cant say I would swim in the lake or spend a week of vacation here, but as a cheaper alternative to a hotel it was great.

Love how clean the beach is and how beautiful it is. I felt so relaxed and loved it almost as much as an ocean Beach.

These are very nice camping sites! We were in site 1 and it was beautiful with wooded camping areas, a large field and a small beach for swimming! Bathrooms and showers were just past the playground () and the area was clean and well kept. Jordan Lake camping is a super fun way to enjoy nature without having to rough it too much. Its a great getaway for a family or friends!

Great place to have fun! Lots to do and see. Took away one star because the park rangers arent very friendly. It does cost $7 to get into the beach areas. Some are better than others. There are some nice hiking trails too.

Freedom Boat Club! A good day for lake awimming.

Usually Love this place, drove here and was very sad they are not going to open due to covid-19

This is a great lake and it great for the family. Theres a man made beach, boat rentals, and campsites. We had a really nice relaxing Sunday on the lake.

Wonderful and beautiful going the best times and relaxing under the sun

We enjoyed the fun of nature.

We love this lake for swimming and camping. relaxing area

Very beautiful lake with all kind of picnic amenities. Good Place for fishing

Such a serene place to relax but also have lots of fun!

Beautiful area, but not ideal for camping in the off-season. Only one site is currently open and signage poorly reflects closures. Firewood is reportedly sold by patrolling rangers, but dont count on their timely arrival for a hot meal. Regardless, Parkers Creek is well-maintained and despite being busy, quieted down substantially after dark.

Love Jordan Lake. Peaceful. Plenty of cookout areas. Lots of people on boats.

Great site to jet skiFree till end of this monthThey repaired the easy access rampLate in the day the water is like glassI thank the parks and rec folks and GOD for providing this area!!! Amazing

Lovely place Much fun.

Great camping and swimming spot for a long weekend!

I would give it more stars if I didnt get locked in the gate behind the hours

Great time great place! Me and family had a blast

Clean beach, with shade and restrooms close by. Easy parking. And of course the lake is beautiful and the water is easy to adjust to.

Only 2 main ramp areas open due to Covid-19, Seaforth and New Hope. Busy but nowhere near as busy as normal holidays. Party Cove only had 2 boats when we left today at noon. Several bald eagles out which were a plus.

A great place to camp.

Very nice spot to stay

Is a great pleace.

Ive been camping in Jordan Lakes various campgrounds since I was a kid, and its consistently been a fun and relaxing experience. I was a bit nervous to go this weekend since weve gotten a lot of rain and some campsites were flooded, but the rangers were very accommodating for anyone whose campsite may have been flooded out.I was in Poplars loop B on this particular outing, and had great cell service the entire time which was comforting. Bathrooms were also a short walk and were clean as could be and in great condition as always.Dogs are allowed on leash (6ft) and I brought my pooch and had no issues. There were quite a few doggies around.There is a breeze off of the lake in most sites, so the temperature will be a lot cooler, which is great for NC summers.I also purchased firewood at the entrance which is $5 for a small bundle, and would definitely recommend at least 2 if your not cooking with it, and double that if you are. You do want to buy firewood in the area, and I know some gas stations near the campgrounds also sell firewood but Im not sure about the cost, especially in the off season.I love camping here and I cant think of a single negative! Large group trips like scouts or church events are so much fun here as well, as they have certian campgrounds made for such groups. Ive never used an RV or camper here, but they do have hookups and campsites for those options.If youre looking for a fun, cost effective, easy camping experience this is the place to go. Also excellent for first time campers! I dont know if they have any more rugged campsites here, but in my experiences this is not a wilderness camping experience, so if youre looking forward to digging your own waste trench this is probably not for you, but if youre looking for a spot where you can spend a day or two in nature, this is 100% what I would recommend!

The best lake in all of NC

I have always like Jordan Lake so many different places to camp this time we did at parkers Creek. Ticks are kind of bed this year bring spray.

Great place! Not so much for a pandemic but great

Kids loved playing in water, beach and in play area, there is a slide and swing. Nice place to spend on a weekend with family. Took nice pictures.

Love taking my dog swimming here.

Jordan Lake is one of our favorite camping spots! Its so beautiful and peaceful! The only thing that I can say about it is that I wish they could turn the water on during the winter when they have campers.

Jordan lake is a good place to spend some time with family!

Terrific lake with some very nice campgrounds. We stayed at Poplar Point which has many campsites along the shoreline.

Park is great. The bathroom by us needs some work. Beautiful day to be in the woods.

Funtoon Excursions. Great time for a great price.

Great connection with nature

We come in early but they wont let us get a site but next day someone elses came in ey but got a site

Off the beaten path but had a great social distancing day..

Had a great time Kayaking!! Staff was friendly and area was clear and clean!

Always great! Clean and beautiful with great staff

We totally love camping at Jordan Lake. We were at Parkers Creek this time which was great, we havent had a bad site at any of the campgrounds. We hiked on the red trail to the beach which was well marked and an easy hike. We put a canoe and kayak into the lake. We went fishing and caught a fish. We set up a carport to cook and dine under and had a group of friends join us for the day- totally relaxing trip. There is quite a bit of tree coverage for the campgrounds, so it does provide shelter from storms and sun.

Peaceful walks in the woods! Beautiful lake for one that is so close to a major city. Great place for the dogs to walk you!

Camping, fishing, boating, cycling, swimming and lots more!!! Great family vacation spot, as well as, a fun spot for day trips!!!

Currently, there are a lot of sites closed due to rising water. Definitely neednto make sure there are available sites.

Very clean great location for boating & fishing

Great Camping an Awesome sunset!

Great place for family, Friends , Church and fun

Great place to go with the family. Its convenient and very well kept. The sites and facilities are kept clean. Cleanest bathrooms Ive ever seen camping! Cant wait to go back!
