Description

Extremely forested campsites with easy access to Raleigh and Durham. Very private area with great access to the huge Umstead hiking trail network. The only drawback is the proximity to RDU airport, you'll hear a few planes taking off during your stay at the park (although it shouldn't be enough to keep you up at night!)
