Why Choose Us

Everything your family needs,
nothing you don't

We've spent decades refining the camping experience so you can focus on what matters — making memories with the people you love.

Lakeside Privacy

Each site is positioned to give your family space and a view of the water. No cramped rows — just room to spread out and settle in.

Safe & Family-First

A quiet, monitored environment where kids can play freely. Generations of local families have trusted us with their most important weekends.

Genuine Hospitality

Our on-site team lives here and knows the lake. They'll help you find the best fishing spots, calm coves for kids, and sunset views you'll never forget.

RV & Tent Friendly

Whether you're towing a full-size rig or pitching a tent, we have level, well-drained sites ready for you. Pull-through and back-in options available.

Modern Restrooms

Clean, well-maintained bathhouses with hot showers, running water, and complimentary toiletries. Camping shouldn't mean giving up comfort.

Central Carolina Location

Just off NC Highway 24-27, we're a short drive from Mount Gilead, Kannapolis, and Charlotte — easy to reach, perfectly removed.

Our Story

A family campsite built for families

Lake Tillery Family Campsites has been welcoming visitors to the shores of Lake Tillery for over four decades. What started as a simple dream — offering a peaceful place for families to unplug and reconnect — has grown into one of the area's most trusted camping destinations.

We're not a corporate chain. We're your neighbors. Our team knows every cove, every fishing hole, and every spot where the sunset hits just right. When you camp with us, you're not just renting a site — you're joining a tradition of Southern hospitality that's been passed down through generations.

"Perfect spot for our family reunion. The kids loved the lake, the adults loved the peace and quiet, and the restrooms were cleaner than some hotels we've stayed at."

"As an RV owner, I'm picky about sites — level ground, good hookups, clean facilities. Lake Tillery checks every box. Already booked for next spring."
