Crosswinds Campgrounds is a campground within Jordan Lake State Recreation Area in North Carolina, managed by the Army Corps of Engineers. It sits inside the recreation area's network of trails and paths, and it is not a reservable site, so it is best suited for spontaneous visits rather than planned stays with a reservation. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April and October highs around 73°F, while July highs reach about 90°F and January lows drop to about 30°F. Several trails lie close by. Lake Path, a mountain biking route, is about a mile away, and Poplar Trail and Wildlife Trail are both within a few miles. Climbers can find Haw River Boulders roughly 6 miles off.
