[rjniles]

Any pics? This one was really close to me (~50 miles) but I didn't have a popup ready to camp in yet.

We stopped by Croft State park in Spartanburg SC to recon camp sites on the way back. !

We love Croft... Spring Crappie fish

I liked the park, but the sites seemed a little small and packed together (a lot of them). The sites on the lake side were pretty small and a lot of them had steep drop-offs on them. The boat ramp would have to be a drive to deal (with kayaks) - pretty good walk even from the lake side campground.I don't know what was going on the weekend we rode through, but it was definitely a popular place! We will probably try this park out on the off season.

It is on the tight side, and several sites are quite unlevel. will be there next weekend...

Any plans for a 2019 rally yet?

 

[yetavon]

sure are.
Low Country Boil at Kings Mt in May the weekend after Mothers Day.
NC Spring Rally the same weekend in eastern NC... Double check with Hound Dog
Sewer Rally in Wilkesboro NC Oct 11-13

That would be 5/17/19-5/19/19. Is there a particular area everyone tries to stay in? I'll have to check work, church, scouts, and DW's calendars and see if I'm free that weekend. A lot of the sites list max 20' length on RV. Our PUP is nearly 23' when open, but I've put it on 20' sites before by hanging the rear bunk over the end of the pad. I'd just hate to get there and find a tree at the end of the pad limiting it to 20'.

What part of the park do the frequent attendees recommend for camp sites?

X2. Looking for same information. Looking at the Kings Mountain Park campground map, there is a big loop on top (24-76), a middle loop (78-82, 110-115), large loop on bottom (83-110), and a small loop on right (10-23).

Reserved campsite 43.

Oh Boy... Your right in the middle of it, We will be the Hybrid on 46.
Most of the crowd is along the same area, 24-76 loop.
We have always stayed on 18, Nice large area but tight and unlevel both ways....

Make plans to join in the fun, the weekend of May 18-20 at Kings Mountain State Park, Blacksburg, SC. This will again be a multi forum gathering, with a group meal around 5pm Saturday afternoon,along sites 42-45. The highlight of the afternoon is the low country boil and dutch oven foods being prepared and served. Bring your own chairs,coolers/drinks, and join in the new and renewed friendships around the fryers and iron pots. Reservations throughout the campground, but many will be in loop 2.
