About this campground
Located in Rockingham County 30 miles northwest of Greensboro, Mayo River State Park offers various recreational opportunities at the main Mayo Mountain access and at multiple accesses along the Mayo River. At the main access, visitors can enjoy hiking trails, fishing ponds, a picnic area and shelter, and a group campsite. Four accesses — Deshazo Mill, Anglin Mill, Hickory Creek, and Mayodan — allow entry to the river, home to rich wildlife and Class II rapids. Deshazo Mill also features a picturesque waterfall on Fall Creek.
What campers say
Mayo River State Park offers varied, well‑maintained trails, easy access to a scenic waterfall, and several ponds and a small lake suited to fishing and family walks. Multiple access points and a large picnic shelter make it convenient for groups, and some visitors praise the clean restrooms. Wildlife sightings and dog‑friendly trails are common, though a number of guests have noted litter and pet waste, so practicing Leave No Trace is recommended. Swimming is not permitted, and trail lengths range from short strolls to longer hikes, so bring appropriate footwear and water.
