In the mid to late 80’s, the original owner of River’s Edge Family Campground found his little piece of paradise, an old fishing camp on the Bay River. Being an avid fisherman, it was a great place for him to get away from his business and enjoy the beauty of the river and the peacefulness of his surroundings. With only one neighbor and nothing but woods, he was in heaven.
In late 1999, he had the opportunity to purchase the surrounding land from Wake Forest University, which had been left to them in a trust. With that purchase and his dream of having a few camper sites for his family and close friends to come and enjoy the river, River’s Edge Family Campground became a reality.
In business since 2003, River’s Edge has grown significantly over the years. Even with thisgrowth, we have continued to maintain a family, friendly campground for folks, young and old, to come and enjoy our little edge of paradise on the Bay River. We are open year-round, so feel free to call us anytime. Our office hours are 9:00AM – 5:00PM.
Come give us a try—you will not be disappointed!
