Site
Two paddle-in campsites are located on the south side of the Yadkin River, 20 driving miles south of the Mountain Section. There is no potable water at these campsites. You must bring your own water and pack out all trash. Each site has a tent pad, picnic table and fire ring with grill grate. You may bring local firewood or gather dead and down firewood only. Camping is allowed only in the 2 designated campsites. Camping is prohibited on the Yadkin River Islands. The distance to paddle to the site is 0.75 miles from the nearest upstream river access. You must provide your own canoe. The distance to hike in is 0.5 mile. You cannot drive to the site. Pilot Mountain State Park does not own or maintain downstream or upstream accesses on the Yadkin River.
Check-in is after 3:00 pm. Check-out is by 12:00 pm. You are not required to check in or out at the park office. Any cars parked in Ivy Bluff (4240 Shoals Road, East Bend NC) or Shoals Road (4454 Shoals Road, East Bend NC) parking lots overnight must leave a copy of their camping reservation or note in the windshield with contact information and site number.

Site
To reach the Yadkin River Section Ivy Bluff Access take NC 67 to the town of East Bend. From Main Street follow the signs for the Yadkin River Trail, turning right on Fairground Road. Turn right on Shady Grove Church Road, turn right on Shoals Road, and follow it to the park. A gravel parking lot is located to the right just after the pavement ends at the sign that says, "Pilot Mountain State Park- Yadkin River Section". The campsites are off the red blazed Ivy Bluff Trail.
The Shoals Public Fishing area/Shoals Access is 0.3 miles further down the road. The distance to the sites is approximately 0.75 miles downstream from the access. Follow the channel on river right to the clearing on the right bank once you see the large islands in front of you and after you pass the mouth of Hall Creek. Look for a brown and white campsite marker.
