Fanny's Ford Campgrounds

Fanny's Ford is a primitive backcountry campsite within Eno River State Park accessible via an easy ~1-mile hike from the parking area, featuring gravel tent pads and fire pits with proximity to the river for water access and paddling opportunities.

The site is well-spaced from other campsites, offering solitude while remaining close enough to hear the nearby rapids; campers should bring their own water or water filters and note that an alternative access route via the canoe launch and river ford crossing is easier than the main trail.

Permits are required and available at the park office for approximately $13 per night.
