We stayed at Tanglewood by a recommendation from a camp host on a Facebook RV site that Diane visits. And I must say, it was a great referral. The RV park is maintained by the county and is part of a larger extensive public park. The RV park itself is not huge, just 44 sites laid out in 4 rows. All roads and sites in the park are paved and include a paved patio. We were in the first row, site #3 which is the best place to be. In this row the back of your site backs up to a huge grass area, and about 200 yards away is the County parks off leash dog park, which was always busy. 4061 Clemmons Road

This also worked out well for us because to the many mature trees in the RV park, roof top satellite was not possible from almost all sites. Due to the large grassy area behind the site I was able to set up the remote satellite dish and just shoot over the tops of the tall trees. The middle rows of sites, say the 20's and 30's can be a real challenge to level on. The sites slope off dramatically to the back, and since all of their sites except #10 are back ins, motorhomes need to be careful when leveling as to not get both rear wheels off of the ground.
The park is located in a great part of town with lots of shopping and various retail within minutes of the campground. Since the large public park is connected to the campground, it also puts many activities in the park nearby, like golf, horseback riding, mountain bike trrails, and hiking. There is a great paved bike/walking path around the park that is about 2 miles long that we ran on. The maintenance on the park is regular and well done, so it is kept in good shape.
The campground restrooms are older, but are clean and handicapped accessible. The Verizon air card worked here, but signal could be sketchy due to the distance from the nearest tower. We paid $33 a night for our FHU 50 amp site. The sewer connection is a bit high (about 8? tall) and the water pressure can drop to the 20 psi range when the park is full, but these issues are minor compared to the pluses of the area.
The campground's season runs from May 1 thru November 30 and then shuts down for the winter. However, the last week of November the County constructs a ?Festival of Lights? in the adjoining park and should be quite spectacular. We left while it was being set up so we didn't get to see it.
One issue that bears mentioning is that there are NO motorcycles allowed in the RV park, or the county park. In fact one of the campground hosts had a stacker trailer with a Can Am in it, and he wasn't even allowed to use it while hosting. Alcohol is also not permitted in the park, but discreet consumption outside on your patio is over looked. All in all this is a very nice park, and I would come back here anytime in the area.
We did go to a County Fair while here in Clemmons. In fact we went with one of the campground hosts and his wife. They were great tour guides and showed us all over the area.
