Discover Winston-Salem


Explore the Outdoors

If you are looking for a summertime outdoors paradise, look no further than the magnificent Tarheel State. The natural beauty of North Carolina is unrivaled by any states east of the Mississippi River and all of the majestic peaks, lush rainforests, and raging waterfalls are well within reach with an RV rental in Winston-Salem. Close to the geographic center of the state, you can truly drive in any direction and find some sort of park or forest to camp in or explore. But before you leave town, check out one of 80 parks across the metro area. With playgrounds, public pools, fields, recreational sports, and dog-friendly walking paths, these parks exemplify outdoor splendor in an urban setting.

Outside the city, you can visit many local state forests in your Winston-Salem camper rental, like Hanging Rock State Park. This incredible slice of forest land was once lined up to be a mountain resort, but when the project hit bankruptcy, the land was donated to become one of the greatest parks in the state. In the Sauratown Mountains that overlook Winston-Salem, the park has 18 miles of amazing trails winding through the park, many of which connect the state’s famous Mountain-to-Sea Trail that brings through-hikers from the Great Smoky Mountains in the west, to the barrier islands of the Outer Banks on the Atlantic Ocean. Hanging Rock also has a fabulous collection of angelic waterfalls. Nearby in the very same mountain range, Pilot Mountain State Park also dazzles visitors with its incredible mountaintop views. Pilot Mountain State Park is great for year-round recreation, but its most notable feature is the peak of Pilot Mountain that looks unlike any other. The interesting flat-top plateau is covered in a forest grove, making it a lovely sight to behold. Stone Mountain State Park is close to Pilot Mountain and is one of the most famous parks in the southeast. The centerpiece of the park is Stone Mountain itself, a massive granite monolith rising from the earth with a strange shape and prominence. Stone Mountain is famous for its excellent rock climbing that draws in outdoors enthusiast from far and wide.

Uwharrie National Forest is easy to reach in your Winston-Salem motorhome rental, with just under an hour’s drive south of the city. The forest has excellent off-roading, fishing, and you can still pan for gold in the rivers that run through the park. Cherokee National Forest and Pisgah National Forest, out near Asheville in the westernmost parts of the state, are both incredible destinations that absolutely warrant a visit with the Winston-Salem rental RV. With magical waterfalls and trickling mountain streams, the wilderness areas and old growth forests within these two captivating forests are sure to make you want to extend your trip.

City Sightseeing

Bethabara Historic District is a wonderful set of both surviving buildings and ruins from the city’s founding over 300 years ago. This nationally recognized historical landmark is a park that also serves as an open-air museum with daily tours and insightful exhibits.

Historic Old Salem is another fine example of what life looked like centuries ago when the Moravian Church, a Protestant denomination from Germany, settled the area. Old Salem Museum & Gardens pay homage to the history of the city and those that strived to make the city what it is today. Actors posing as 18th-century village folk also answer questions and demonstrate how the society operated back during the towns original founding.

The Reynolda House Museum of American Art is another cultural institution worthy of your time. Housed in on the property formerly owned by Tobacco magnate, R.J Reynolds, this amazing museum has one of the finest collections of art in the country, and exquisite gardens surrounding the home as well. There are truly so many attractions and incredible places to dine, shop, and play while in Winston-Salem, the spectacular “City of Art”.
