Discover Hyco Lake RV rentals for memorable road trips
Hyco Lake is located in northern North Carolina, directly below the Virginian border and directly above the towns and cities of Greensboro, Durham, and Chapel Hill. The lake was created in the 1960s with the construction of a dam across three local creeks. Hyco Lake was originally created to supply hydroelectric power to the nearby Carolina Power and Light Company, but now also serves as the place for recreation for the north of North Carolina, and the south of Virginia. Those with an RV rental can access Hyco Lake via Highway 501 or Highway 58. With the numerous campsites scattered around Person County, camping with an RV here even easier.

This warm water fishery creates the perfect habitat for a wide range of fish species, each one offering their own characteristics to anglers. The lake has high numbers of largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and white bass. Alongside these bass fish, the lake is also home to catch, white crappie, and black crappie. Hyco Lake campers have a fantastic all year round fishery here, and the infrastructure to help them have a rewarding fishing trip.

We and our two dogs had a wonderful first RV experience with the Happy Camper. It was delivered to our State Park campsite by Feliza and her husband, who were a delight to interact with from reservation to pick up. The camper was clean, nicely decorated, well-stocked and the comfy queen bed allowed for a great night's sleep. We would highly recommend the Happy Camper to anyone looking for a sweet rental RV getaway, with minimal effort and maximum enjoyment.
