MAIN Travel Camping Campgrounds North Carolina Campgrounds

Looking for camping under a forest canopy, on a mountain, along the beach, or beside a crystal clear lake, waterfall, river or stream?

Than look no further than North Carolina, where campgrounds abound and appeal to any outdoor adventure whether your taste runs from primitive tent camping to luxury RV park.

In North Carolina, the Great Smoky Mountains beckon millions of tourists a year to the scenic wonders that it shares with Tennessee, or try roughing it at "the Grand Canyon of the East" the Linville Gorge Wilderness, for world-class nitty gritty tent camping.

Had enough of green wilderness? Then travel along the coast for wet and wild outdoor fun in and around Cape Fear, Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout for beachfront camping second to none.

The Piedmont region also offers the biggest cities and - coincidentally - some of the best urban opportunities for outdoor campers including both RV parks and primitive tent camping in several nearby state parks, as well as Uwharrie National Forest where there are more camping locations than any other central North Carolina area.
