Tanglewood Park Campground , Clemmons, NC

Date of Stay:  Sunday August 12, 2012 (1 night)

Description:  Very near Winston Salem, NC.  Paved roads and parking pads on large sites with FHU (50A) and cable.  Unfortunately, several sites are very unlevel.  Call ahead to make sure there is a level spot.  No problem with that during the week.  Located near I-40 (exit 182) and easy off/on but no traffic noise.  We were on site 2 with a grassy field behind us and the canopy of old oak trees over us.  This is a full service Forsyth County Park that offers a Championship golf course, aquatic center, horse stables, tennis, soccer, pond fishing, arboretum, rose garden and a Manor House bed and breakfast.   Most of these amenities are an extra fee of course.  There’s a two mile paved multi-use trail that winds about the edge of the forest which has mountain bike trails.  (Using the address in your GPS takes you to the park office.  Be sure to look for the CG signs when you exit from I-40 instead.) 

Activities:  This was just a stop over for us but I fell in love with the place.  I went to the arboretum and rose garden in the evening and took time to walk the paved path in the morning.  I saw about 20 deer on that walk.  Great place to bike also.

Trash and Recycle:  Dumpster in the back corner of the park but several trash cans in amongst the campsites.  A recycle can is at the bathhouse for cans and plastic bottles.

Description:  Reviewed earlier here.  This is a great stop along I-40 at exit 182 with FHU (50A) and cable.  We were on site 1 which is paved and level.  Be sure to call ahead to reserve a level site since about half of them are not usable for any rv.  This is a full service Forsyth County Park with much to offer.  I really like the two mile paved multi-use trail that winds around in the forest.  (Look for CG signs when you exit from I-40.  Using the address in your GPS will take you to the park office instead.)

Activities:  This was just a stop over for us but next time, we plan to stay a couple of nights.  I enjoyed a bike ride on the trail in the evening and a jog in the morning before hitting the road.  I only saw one deer this time.  The horses were being moved from the stables to the pasture for the evening as I peddled by.

Trash and Recycle:  Dumpster in the back corner of the cg but several trash cans amongst the campsites.  A recycle can is at the bathhouse for cans and plastic bottles.

Description:  Reviewed a couple other times here.  Located near Winston Salem, NC at exit 182 off of I-40, it is near many conveniences.  We were on site 3 which is level.  About half of the sites are extremely unlevel.  The cg has paved roads and large paved sites with FHU (50A) and digital cable under a beautiful canopy of large oak trees.  Acorns did fall on our roof some.  This is in a full service Forsyth County Park that offers a championship golf course, aquatic center, horse stables, tennis, soccer, pond fishing, arboretum, rose garden and a Manor House bed and breakfast.  There’s a two mile paved multi-use trail that winds about in the edge of the forest which has mountain bike trails.  There is a wonderful off-leash dog park near the cg.  (Look for CG signs when you exit from I-40.  Using the address in your gps takes you to the park office instead.)

Trash and Recycle:  Dumpster in the back corner of the cg near the camphosts with recycle for cans and bottles.

Activities:  We had reservations at Huntington Beach SP near Myrtle Beach but they were still closed due to Hurricane Matthew damage so we came here for a few nights on our way to Gaffney, SC for service.  I enjoyed biking and walking the popular multi-use trail and rode around in the park.  They have a Festival of Lights here and have spent the past few weeks putting up a very large display of Holiday sparkles.  This will be their 25th year of the festivities in Tanglewood.

Description:  Reviewed several times in the past.  Located near Winston Salem, NC at exit 182 off of I-40, it is near many conveniences.  We stayed on level site 4 and surprisingly received sat tv through the mature tree canopy.  The roads and sites are paved although several sites are very unlevel.  They are all FHU (50A) with digital cable.  This is a very nice county park with many amenities but I really enjoy the 2 mile paved path in the woods.  There is an excellent dog park near the cg and an arboretum, golf course, swimming pool etc. in the park.

Trash and Recycle:  Dumpster in the back corner of the cg near the camphosts with recycle for cans and bottles.

Activities:  We planned on staying just a couple of nights here but the spring in our driver’s side slide topper broke when we arrived.  We contacted a mobile tech who helped take the material off so that we could travel again.  He also serviced our ac units.  It would take a week before the spring would arrive so we delayed getting it fixed until later in the summer.  We didn’t mind adding a few days here to decompress and enjoy watching the birds and squirrels eat the seed I put on the picnic table for them. I enjoyed taking several walks on the trail in the woods and Gin and I went to the arboretum one afternoon.  I absolutely love this area.  Unfortunately, Gin has gone numb on her left side and lost her taste buds for sweet.  MS can be strange.
