Never been to that campground, but there is some very nice riding around there. I would head toward Lenoir for supplies if staying there, Wilkesboro/North Wilkesboro is pretty crappy (unless you're there for MerleFest).. also its a - hotspot, they had over 500 cases flare up at the Tyson plant there, surely thats an overwhelming number in a community that size... that plant prob employs 1/4 of the town.

Thanks for the info.  It is a Honda Chopper event so riding "Twisties' wont happen much. Thats OK though as Ive slowed way down in my old age!  Il stay away from Wilkesboro then.

I stayed there many years ago (at least 15) so my memories may not be valid.  Pretty basic campground.  Bathhouse, tent spaces.  Kind of in the middle of nowwhere, as I recall.  But if your tent camping, it's probably as good as any.  Just don't expect TWOs or Iron Horse Resort level amenities.

I stayed there many years back. Pretty basic. The owner was not a 'friendly' person, but not really a problem.

Not trying to be an "Elitist" or discourage anyone from enjoying the sport BUT.... How can "Honda Chopper" even be a word let alone an "Event?? Lol

Oh the old school 1970's Honda Choppers were cool to me (And a lot of other people)  Back when people realized anybody almost can buy whatever bike they want, but only a few actually build their own bike.  Honda CB 750 choppers from the 70's are cool man!  LOL.
