Where to camp in North Carolina

As there so many options, the best way to limit the possibilities is to decide what type of camping trip you are looking for. Do you want to make it as natural as possible? Would you prefer available showers and water? Do cabins for rent appeal? Do you have an RV you would like to take with you to a recreational vehicle park? Are there special events you want to visit as well?

Some useful tips for travelers

Research is critical. Spend a little time on the computer or the phone to save yourself from unexpected surprises. The state of North Carolina offers very useful resources to help you plan your trip. Other websites can also be used to expand your research.

Please note that if you have a mind to use objects to claim a campsite position, they are not recognized as devices to be used for this purpose in national parks. You need to set up tents. Any objects you use to make your claim will be removed.

Locating the destination of choice

There is an array of informative websites to help you find your campground of choice. General sites or specific sites like those for national and state parks or individual websites for the various camping grounds. Please keep in mind that if tent camping is your choice, there is a book that has greater detail. The book's title is:The Best In Tent Camping: The Southern Appalachian & Smoky Mountains. It lists many known and unknown sites(depending on the prospective camper's familiarity with the state), such as the Linville Falls Campground in Spruce Pine, NC; Camping & Cabins on Cape Lookout National Seashore in Harkers Island, NC; Mount Mitchell State Park in Asheville, NC and many other possible destinations. No matter how choosy the camper this book illustrates that there are savory offerings available.
