NC500 Campsites

  

Just as I have in previous years, I am hoping to once again compile a list of camp sites on and close to the route, as well as opening dates for 2022.  There is also a list of service point providers for waste & water at the bottom of the page.

Added last year are camp sites located on Islands around the route so I hope to be adding to that this year with more listings to help you plan your adventures.

I would like to wish everyone in our group a happy and healthy new year 2022!
