    When you arrive at the campground, you pick any empty site and then later in the afternoon, a ranger will come by to check you in. There are two camping loops - one is a large open area with 41 sites, while the other is a wooded area with 29 sites. We like the sun, especially when it's cool, so we opted for site C-2 in the open loop.

    Formerly known as the "The Chapel Beside the Road" at Greensboro's Cotton Mill Square Mall, this charming one-room chapel was frequently used during the holidays, and at other times of the year, as a focal point for special community events. Several years after the mall closed, owner Carl Johnson donated the historic chapel to the Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department. Today, the chapel makes its home overlooking a beautiful lake at Hagan-Stone Park, near Pleasant Garden.

    Located a short walk from the campground is the Oak Grove School, a reproduction of the original schoolhouse that served the students of this area in the late 1800s and the early 1900s. The schoolhouse offers visitors the opportunity to experience what it was like to attend school 100 years ago when their great, great, great, great-grandparents attended school. The schoolhouse, located near the original schoolhouse site, was designed and constructed based on the memories of the last few remaining students that attended the Oak Grove School.
