If you're looking to spend some time along North Carolina's Atlantic shore, consider camping in one of the state's coastal state parks. You can choose to enjoy the marina at Carolina Beach, the unique desert-like terrain of Jockey's Ridge, or a quite island retreat at Hammock's Beach State Park.

If you'll be traveling as far north as Boone, NC, consider staying at the campground facilities in either Mount Jefferson State Park or New River State Park.

Hanging Rock State Park (pictured here) is one of the most beautiful spots in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It's an idyllic spot for any camping trip, as is nearby Pilot Mountain State Park.
