Sycamore Lodge

This is a private campground, which means that you pay thousands of dollars to join, and then hundred of dollars a year – every year– in maintenance fees. This company owns 6 resorts: this one in NC, 3 in OH, 1 in PA and 1 in NY, that you can use anytime you want for ‘free’, but only for 2 weeks at a time with 1 week in between stays. If you want to use their affiliate campgrounds all across the nation (not the 6 they own) you pay $ 10/​night. Considering that campgrounds without memberships only cost about $ 20/​night, this is not a good deal.
Then they told me that the «deal» is only good for this visit, and after that I have to wait THREE YEARS to buy from them again! Silly…
Oh, and they didn’t give me my gift, a tablet computer, for attending their tour and sales pitch. They said they are out and will mail me one when they come in. If/​when that happens I’ll update this review promptly. I am upset that I didn’t get it right then and there.

Tried to make reservations here. You can not call them directly. You have to go through an agent who asks WAY too many questions to see IF you qualify to be a guest. In all my years of RVing I have never come across anything like this.
It is a membership Camping «Resort“which never seems to be a viable cost effective way to camp.

This is one of the nicest campgrounds we’ve visited. It’s a private resort but we were able to make a reservation through our coast-​to-​coast membership. Beautiful grounds, spacious campsites with picnic tables and fire rings, and the entire property is heavily wooded with pines which keeps it shaded but clean. Large dog park, mini golf, pool, hot tub, canoes, fishing pond, large playground, horseshoes, corn hole, and lots of free activities. Golf carts were available for $ 45 per night and they were newer models. Ours was fully charged which was a nice touch. The bathhouse is extremely nice — it features separate rooms that have a shower/​sink/​toilet/​changing area so you have privacy the entire time you are in there. Last but not least, the lodge itself was hand built at the turn of the century and houses the game room with big screen tv as well as a large dining room and sun porch. We enjoy this campground because its just a few minutes from Pinehurst and great golfing.
