You won't regret it.

Looks like a beautiful spot, but I don't see any campgrounds nearby. May have to pass
this time.

Based on the website I don't think this is the kind of place you go
to in order to go camping.



Camping? Snerk...



I just had a mental image of John arriving at this place, entering the
lobby, walking up to the concierge desk and asking, "Could you tell me
where the dumping station is located"?

Sorry John ... just kidding ... :-)



I would hope a place like that would have sewer hookups! :)

I'm glad the post was made, as I found this place: http://www.campnc.com/

It really is going on the list of places to hit next year.

That resort looks like it was right in town, be it a small one. You
can go a mile or two in any direction and be out in the woods. The
trick is to find forest service land so you are not stumbling onto
someone's still and being shot ;-)

We usually start right out by looking at the USFS web site when we are
deciding what area we want to visit. For us those tend to be more
attractive than the "parks". They usually have fire roads you can
explore and lots of good places to take a walk. That is true in just
about every state we have visited.
There also seems to be a lot of primitive camping on those lands.
Basically, if you don't bring it, don't expect it to be there.

No, but I found a nice campground not too far away.

A short drive to a very nice looking golf course. Of course, they probably don't
allow walkers!
