Description:  Reviewed several times in the past.  We stayed on a different site again this time (site P12) which is one row back from the pavement, has a gazebo, and is close to the pool.  The park is very popular as an overnighter at exit 171 on I-95.  Sites are mostly pull-thru with 50A FHU and cable.  The back area was full again with long term workers building a plant in the area.  Hurricane Matthew came through about the first week of October and I-95 was closed in southern NC due to flooding for about three weeks.  This led to more folks staying longer than they normally would have.

Trash and Recycle:  Put your bag out in the morning and they pick it up our take it to the dumpster in the back of the park in the afternoon.  No recycle here but we take ours into town when we visit Mom.

Activities:  This is a nice place to relax while we visit family, mine in Roanoke Rapids and Gin’s in Rocky Mount.  Hurricane Matthew blew through with lots of rain during the middle of our stay.  We had another small world moment here.  When we were driving out to go to RM, we saw Jim and Linda pulling in with their travel trailer and Big Red.  We turned around and greeted them at check in.  They got the site right beside us and we visited for a while before going on to RM.  They were on their way from the Raleigh area to Virginia Beach and knew that it was dry here versus their usual route through Williamston.  Tricia and Dan also came up from Youngsville to visit for the day.  We had a lot of catching up to do and it couldn’t wait until Cedar Key!

  2. Glad you were in someplace safe during Matthew. We'll be there on Sunday night for an overnight. You'll probably be back at Cedar Key by then. Sure would like to have caught you if only briefly. Very decent monthly rate.
