North Carolina State Parks
Campfire and story time We spent the weekend in the group camping area with our Royal Rangers outposts and had a great time. We were very pleased with the staff, the upkeep and improvements. I personally have been visiting the park for over 30 years and it just keeps getting better. This is a Fantasic small State Park. As with all state parks, it has what you would expect! Decent faciliities, friendly rangers, well marked etc. This was a hidden jewel when we found it in 2004. We camped and had our Thanksgiving here. We had a great time, and have some wonderful memories and pictures. We will be doing it again this year as well ! Fantastic place for a Cub Scout or Boy Scout campout. The group site was more primitive but there were bathroom facilities and potable water. The fire rings and grills were top notch! The best thing about the whole experience was the friendly park rangers. They were very approachable and were willing to answer all of the boy?s questions. 
This is a peaceful place to walk. One challenge is the HUGE fire ants along the trail...you CANNOT stop EVER or they will tear you up. Outside that...nice. The view overlooking the river is certainly unexpected, and the nature trails are easy to traverse. A very relaxing way to spend a quiet afternoon. This is a small park, but the trails were easy and the view was great. The facilities blended in to the surroundings and the Park Rangers were outstanding in both knowledge and help. Its a nice getaway from the cluster of Goldsboro but is really small for a state park. All of the surrounding area is farmland leaving me to wonder how much this tiny patch of wilderness can help the native species of the area.
