Title: South Mountain State Park North Carolina
Post by: spot1 on February 19, 2016, 06:15:49 PM
We just got back from camping @ South Mountain State Park North Carolina today. The weather and hiking were great!!!!!!!! Temps 20Fs at night and 50Fs during the day. Towed the Mighty 11 with the 4 cylinder Tacoma!!!!! South Mountain is a great place to camp and less than 1/2 tank of gas round trip from home!

Thanks! Stayed on electric site #17. We enjoy hiking there a few times per month and camping is always a bonus there!

Beautiful campsite. You have your small but mighty 11 out more than the rest of us in our longer campers!

Thanks Leslie!

We had to get some camping in!!!!!  Found out last week ours was one of the first 10 LivinLite
Travel Trailers built after a dealer checked with LivinLite for us. The Mighty 11 is in great shape.
Ours has aluminum interior walls, too.

And it looks like you pretty much had the place to yourselves!

Thanks!

North Carolina is a fine place to live, but want to get closer to the mountains. Been thinking about moving to eastern TN, will see.

Will camp there with the Mighty 11 next!

My goal is to be near the ocean, NC has that plus everything else in a climate I like.
