North Carolina State Parks
I did the Stone Mountain loop trail with video https://youtu.be/0ZoXoGj614o, Hutchinson Homestead You can see it from the first video, and Widow Creek Falls you can see from my playlist. We arrived at our campsite and began to set things up. An hour later a black bear came out the woods by our campsite. It was a memorable trip. Beautiful streams, waterfalls, deer. Camping area is very nice. Park staff friendly. it was fun I VISITED THE PARK A COUPLE WEEKS AGO WITH MY WIFE AND MOTHER-IN-LAW. WE HAD A VERY ENJOYABLE TIME. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL PARK. MY WIFE SAW HER FIRST VIEW OF WHERE BEAVERS HAD CUT DOWN SMALL TREES INTO THE STREAMS. I WILL BE BACK SOON TO DO SOME HIKING. EVERYTHING IS VERY NATURAL. The most beautiful State Park I have ever stayed at! The campground facilities are wonderful! Clean bath houses and well maintained sites. Some of the most beautiful hiking trails around. I try to visit at least once a month!! only about a hour from my home I loved the windy roads & hills.The wildlife was amazing! I felt like I was home in Pennsylvania! A friend of ours told us about Stone Mountain. So we decided to check it out. I have to tell you, it is 1 of the best places to hike. The views are breathtaking. We camped also, stayed in site 25, we had dear come right up to the site. 1 doe came within 5 feet of our campsite and she had twins. Great place. One of the reasons is I was born in Traphill, about 10 miles from here, so I get to visit relatives. The park is very spacious and the nature is just about perfect! Tame deer, beautiful scenery, cold rivers and in the fall you can go to Mt Airy in just a little while to get fresh apples and mountain cabbage--yum, yum! I would highly recommend this park. A great price for the great accommodations! We had a great time.Great place to take the grandchildren.The only problem we had is people driving way to fast through the campground. My family of six picked a foggy misty morning to go. We still had a blast walking to the summit. When the rain got heavy we took our picnic to the shelters. LOVED IT. If I would have known about the fireplaces we could have built a fire. Great little place to go. We stayed there 1st time last month. The place is fantastic. Beautiful. Best lots are 44-49. Huge lots. Nice paved, level with huge personal areas. Lots are 3x what normal crampgrounds offer. Stone Mt. main trails are less than a mile away. Very worth the money. This was a wonderful place to camp! My family and I enjoyed our stay. The staff was wonderful and keep the campground very clean. Just experienced 4 wonderful days in camp site #52. The beauty and closeness to nature was most relaxing. I love this park! it is quiet, beautiful, and fun. Another reason that I love this park is because my family used to own 400 acres at the foot of the mountain, and the Hutchison Homestead. MY grandfather lived in a house that was across from the log cabin, but they tore that house down. His grandparents lived in the log cabin, and it was built by my great great great grandfather. THIS IS THE BEST PLACE TO CAMP AND YET VERY PRIVATE. IT IS QUITE,CLEAN,SECURITY DRIVES AROUND QIUTE OFTEN AND WE FEEL VERY SAFE THERE. THE DEERS WE LOVE AND THE NATURE IS BREATHLESS. WE ONLY GO CAMPING AT STONE MT great place to go for a nice relaxing summer vacation. Spectacular scenery. The rock donme is fantatstic.
Camping availability can be trouble on the week-ends. Can be busy too. Great place for a day trip. This place was amazing! The deer were almost tame enough to touch! I loved every minute of our trip there!
