I had intended on staying here for several months but ended up having to leave to go stay with my mom for a couple weeks after she had surgery. Initially when I arrived, I stayed on their overflow spot for a couple of days until the site they had for me became available. I had site 40A and it took a bit of doing to back into it, but Tom and Jim expertly guided me back and I made the back on the first try. Then the fun began. The sites are gravel and the one I was in had a bit of a soft spot in that my rear jacks pushed everything down into the dirt. Tom and Jim did not leave me hanging, but brought out several huge blocks to put under my jacks to keep me from sinking into the soft dirt. The RV park is immaculate with lots of shade available and it's very quiet at night. As far as phone and internet, I have T-Mobile and my phone worked even though it usually only had 1-2 bars on it. I have my own internet (Internet-in-Motion) which is on the Sprint PCS network and my connection was tenuous at best. The park's wi-fi connection was a little more reliable than mine but still really slow. My only complaint were the ticks. OMG! In the 19 days I was there I pulled 18 ticks off my dogs and a dozen off me. One time I stood outside for less than 3 minutes and had two crawling up my pants so they waste no time getting on you. However, this is not particular just to this RV park as I understand that ticks are a problem EVERY WHERE in this area of North Carolina. Other from that I definitely enjoyed my stay and would definitely return should I find myself working in this area again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Many permanent but each year more are for overnight – many stay in this area for a week or more. This campground only has full hookups and the cost $29 includes internet connection and cable connection with many, many stations. It is out in the farm area of Chapel Hill and it is very peaceful. At one dip in the road before you reach the campground road Senator John Edwards multi-million dollar house is set back but all you can see is the road and a gate but those here said it is huge with its own gym. There is nothing at the campground but a playground. No restrooms or showers! It is a nice place and considered the best camping near the Chapel Hill and UNC and Duke. Call for reservations and they warn you to call when you are about an hour away from coming to the campground so that someone is at the office and your site is ready. So much construction around Duke and neither university is RV friendly at all. So we drove around and it was interesting but were not able to get out and bike or walk around. I don’t know if I would want to have biked because UNC is built on rolling hills. Nice area though and I think some people must camp here when they are visiting the medical units of both universities. We would definitely camp here again but we would rent a car – Chapel Hill and Durham, the research triangle, are big cities now with 3 to 6 lane traffic patterns. Anything bigger than a car you have a hard time getting around and no place at all to park. Actually all parking is pay now and whatever visitor parking there is – it is taken by 8 in the morning. You can pay ahead of time (like three days ahead) for a reservation to park as a visitor at UNC but the sites we saw were again only for cars. The Duke gardens (Sara Duke gardens of 55 acres, a living museum of design, plant and horticulture) and chapel (a 50 bell carillon, with bells ranging in weight from 10 to 11,200 pounds, a Flentrop Organ -in the center of the campus) and the UNC museum (Carolina Basketball History), bell tower and planetarium (a NASA training ground for many space missions) are must visits but there are so many other interesting places to visit depending on your interests. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Just as the previous poster said, a very nice park with big sites and super friendly and helpful staff. We are big - 36' fiver with HDT, 60' long. They took me to the site in a golf cart to look at it, then guided us in and helped park. Lots of trees, but not really tight. Did not try my sat. dish, but trees might be a problem. Excellent Wi-Fi! and good cable TV. They sell propane by weight or metered - I needed refill, they said to drop my tanks at the office in the AM. I did so on the way out and when we returned in the afternoon the tanks were not only filled and back at our site, but they were installed back in the fiver! I really appreciated not having to muscle those two 40 lb. tanks back into the compartment! Excellent price as well. This is not a destination park, but an excellent place to stay while visiting the Chapel Hill area. Good location, very quiet and not over lighted. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
