RV rental Pittsboro, NC: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Given its smaller size, you wouldn’t think there’d be many places to park a camper rental near Pittsboro. Fortunately, its location on the edge of the Raleigh metropolitan area and close to Jordan Lake makes it a popular recreation area for residents of the capital. Jordan Lake State Recreation Area is one of the closest places to park your RV rental near Pittsboro, as it’s only about ten miles west of town. The recreation area actually consists of several different regions including Poplar Point, Parker’s Creek, and the Crosswinds Campground. Amenities vary slightly between them but there are full hookups, dump stations, and showers at each of them. For a more rustic experience, consider New Hope Overlook, which has water and restrooms available. Another option, fifteen minutes south of town, is Cotten’s Campground, which also has full hookups and easy access to Jordan Lake. Next door to it is Jordan Dam RV Park offering full hookups, laundry services, and a mini-mart within walking distance. However, if you just need a place to stay for a night or two with your Pittsboro motorhome rental, consider dry camping at the Walmart in nearby Chapel Hill. You’ll have no amenities, but you’ll have 24/7 access to any supplies you mind need.

The Carolina Tiger Rescue, a few miles to the east of town, is one of the most unexpected attractions to check out when you rent an RV in Pittsboro. You wouldn’t think such a small town would be home to a dozen or so large cat species. However, many of them have been collected from negligent owners and the organization funds actions to end the exotic pet trade in the U.S. Pittsboro is fairly limited when it comes to shopping experiences, but if you’re into antiquing, the town will not disappoint. You can find fairly impressive pieces from the ‘60s and ‘70s if you’re looking for clothes or home furnishings from that era, or you can uncover eclectic items and furniture pieces that are ready to be restored. However, if you’re looking for some local products to take home, make a stop at Fearrington Village. The 18th-century farm on the edge of town is now home to a high-end restaurant, beautiful hotel, and a few small shops stocked with some of the best things Pittsboro has to offer. Even if you don’t buy anything here, it’s a great place for a stroll while enjoying the lush, green pasture and well-manicured gardens. Do you enjoy a fine glass of wine or a pint of hoppy beer? Pittsboro produces some pretty delicious adult beverages. Wineries, meaderies and breweries can be found around town. A couple offer tours of their production facilities along with tastings so you choose which bottles you’d like to take home.
