RV rental Morrow Mountain State Park, NC:
Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Fishing fanatics will be spoiled for choice at Morrow Mountain State Park. Head down to the pier to wet a line in Lake Tillery and see if you can reel in a largemouth bass, catfish, or crappie. Or, set up shop on the banks of the Pee Dee River. If you'd rather paddle, rent a canoe or kayak from the boat house or launch your private watercraft from the ramp on Lake Tillery.

Back on land, work up a sweat on the park's 15-mile hiking trail network. You'll find a path here to suit all fitness levels. Take the Laurel Trail for an easy half-mile walk from the park's museum toward the camping cabins. Looking for a challenge? You'll find one on the Hattaway Mountain Trail, a steep, two-mile route to the summit of Hattaway Mountain. This hike is a fan favorite, especially during autumn when the leaves turn into a kaleidoscope of colorful reds and golds.

Once you've trekked the trails, beat the heat at the park's seasonal swimming pool, open to guests from June to September for an additional fee. Even the pint-sized swimmers can make a splash at the kiddie pool.

After a long day of exploring, many Morrow Mountain State Park campers like to relax with a packed lunch at the picnic area. Three picnic shelters are open on a first-come, first-served basis. The largest shelter is accessible for guests with disabilities, while the six-table shelter features a fireplace.

Make sure to check the park's events schedule when planning your motorhome camping adventure. You just might catch an educational program on the park's ecosystem, a guided canoe trip of Lake Tillery, or a hiking challenge.

This zoo, museum, and adventure park all rolled up into one is sure to delight the kiddie campers (and even your own inner child). For a dose of history with a spooky twist, sign up for a ghost tour of the city.

This authentically restored 18th-century village houses a shoemaker shop and a log church, to name just two of the 100+ buildings you can explore here. Wander through gardens filled with fresh fruits and vegetables and learn all about the Moravian influence on the area.
