Nope, I'm interested in making a trip for a group meetup for sure though.
I am currently planning out a trip with at least 4 rigs, around 10 people, for November 10-12 which is on veterans day to lake Jocasse and hurricane creek trail. I've never been to hurricane creek trail and I am curious about the trail itself and camping around there. Any help would be appreciated. If anyone would like to join us feel free to let me know, it'll be a fun time.

I did Hurricane Creek rd about 2 years ago. If remember you could do it all in 2wd. I heard since then, they have regraded it? I did Yellow Gap rd. Near Hendersonville to Blue Ridge pkwy. Nice gravel rd with nice views and some nice road side camping spots along large creek. Want to get back there and camp.

Thank you! Do you remember any camp spots along hurricane creek or is there camping aloud up near max patch?

I just remember one spot that was in a small opening. There was trash, fire spot and some empty shotgun shells laying around. Looked like party spot. Saw a few guys in trucks with there dogs hunting black bear!

We ran Yellow Gap rd recently as well. Some great campsites along the way, but I couldn't believe how packed it was. We got there late in the day, and every camp site was taken. A place I plan to take the family back to for camping, but worried about no getting there early enough to get a spot.
Have fun on Hurricane Creek rd and at Jocassee. We love that lake.

I'll be sure to bring some protection for the bears! Do you happen to know where the spot is on the trail? I saw a listing for one somewhere that said there was one right at the beginning of the trail. Just tryna figure what time to get there to get a spot. And thanks for the info. I'll be sure to bring some extra trash bags and get the whole group to clean and tidy up the place a little bit.

Seems like first 1/3 to 1/2 way in? Been awhile and am sure has changed. Let's us know how it was!

I just looked into the campsite around hurricane creek some more and I found in the ioverlander app that the site won't fit rigs which is what I was looking for since I have the RTT and 5 other rigs. Anyone have some recommendations for some decent sized pull off spots around that area for camp?

I can only suggest Yellow Gap rd. Near Hendersonville or Brown mtn.

I’m in Hope Mills. Haven’t found many spots that are very close to Fayetteville. Usually head out to uwharrie or somewhere in the smokies.
I'm in the Greensboro area. I don't have a 4wd truck, but I have a 2006 tundra and I did a few of the trails at uwharrie. So much fun. I do what I can with what I've got. I'm still working on some modifications to it.
