Day 10 – 6:45 a.m., raining, 55 degrees. Only rained a couple of hours, then just cloudy. Made a huge mound of pancakes this morning – nothing’s better than pancakes when camping. We’re leaving this campground tomorrow for a new experience. Neither of us want to leave; it’s been a wonderful place to stay. Kind of sad – we love it here and would definitely come back this time of year again. And the girls can tell by the activity (packing up) this morning that we’re hitting the road again.
“Do we have to leave?”
Relaxed all day. Sat outside for hours, beautiful day yet again. The high was 71 degrees, with afternoon sun.
North River Campground, 256 Garrington Island Road, Shawboro, NC 27973, (252) 336-4414 “North River Campground“. Definitely a 5-Star campground. It’s probably great for kids and crowded in the summer; it has all the amenities. But this time of year, it’s perfect for couples or singles wanting peace and quiet. The rates were very low (half price in January and February), the people who work here are very nice and quite helpful, and everything you need is right here. Full hook-ups, the roosters did crow loudly in the mornings, LOL. We will absolutely stay here again, and for a longer period of time. They are surrounded by National Wildlife Refuges, Dismal Swamp and the Outer Banks are only an hour away.
Goodbye North River Campground, NC
