Amenities include pool, a jumping pillow, laser tag, and various activities for kids, including crafts and games. They highlight the fun trails for golf cart rides, the stocked ponds for fishing, and the overall peaceful and enjoyable experience for families. Also like the friendly and attentive staff who go above and beyond to make guests feel welcome.

There are a lot of long termers and while I have been to places this was a negative, it is not the case here. They were friendly and campers were kept up. My only wish was the pool opened earlier in the day, especially on days that it was 90 degrees before 10am. I took my daughter and her friend here in my 32ft class C and had no problem at all maneuvering. Has full hook-ups with no issues. Each site had it's own trash and fire pit. Kids enjoyed slushies, a few pool games and lots of swimming. There are some video games as well as a juke box but the juke box was out of order when we were there. As a warning, bring cash or check. No credit cards accepted. The rates are reasonable. They have a calendar of events and I happen to stay the one weekend nothing was scheduled. They have an Easter Egg hunt every year that my kids have enjoyed in the past and still talk about it. It's a great place to relax and make some memories.

It has a wide sweeping turn to help cars slow down as they head into the pedestrian area and a separate area for trucks. Lots of easy access parking, clean restrooms and a Visitor Center with information on local attractions and accommodations. It's a good spot for a quick snooze but there is a sign posted at the entrance that says "No overnight parking." Which was a bummer for me as I was quite tired after driving and looking for a spot in my Sprinter van. Other than that, the I-73/74 Visitor Center is a valuable resource and a welcoming place to rest and refresh during your journey. It just stinks that they don't allow overnight here. If they are concerned about people camping here for days, a "12 hour limit" sign would solve that and keep tired people off the road. [Review 2114 of 2024 - 3782 in North Carolina - 23133 overall]

The Old North State Club is five stars. I still have dreams about playing this course. I grew up…read moreplaying golf here in my middle and high school years. Old North State was about a one-hour drive from our house in High Point, so a round of golf here was an all-day affair. My dad would often treat his friends to rounds here and even my mom came out and played. We'd also take relatives from out of town here, whether it be for a meal at the clubhouse or a round of golf. This place was awesome. To date, Old North State remains one of the best-conditioned golf courses I've played on. The course conditions were better here than at a premiere bucket-list course like Pebble Beach (granted, Pebble sees way more volume). Old North State is situated on Badin Lake. It's known for having North Carolina's best finishing holes. Nos. 16-18 all border the lake. I have a framed and captioned picture of them, from the pro shop, on the wall in my office. The property itself is embedded in Uwharrie National Forest. It's really scenic and beautiful. We'd occasionally see deer on the course. I vividly recall seeing some crossing the fairway on No. 4 and seeing one moving around in the trees around 17 green and 18 tee. I also remember seeing a skunk, I think in the same area. Old North State was designed by Tom Fazio, one of the world's greatest golf course architects. From the tips, the course is pro-length at 7,102 yards with a 75.1/143 rating/slope. My dad and I would routinely play from the whites, the distance and rating/slope of which have varied over the years. Generally, from the whites, the course measures about 6,200-6,300 yards. At 6,219 yards, the rating/slope was 70.9/132. I consider it a challenging, but fun track. If you play from the appropriate tees, this course is playable for all skill levels. Aside from the finishing holes, several other holes have views of the lake including Nos. 2, 4, 7, 9, and 14. The greens on those holes either sit next to or are nearby the lake. The toughest hole is No. 9, a long par-4 (452 from the tips, 389 from the whites) that really tests your accuracy. My favorite holes were always the finishing holes. 16 is a difficult downhill par-4 that takes you down to the lake (amazing view). 17 is a par-3 over the lake. 18 is a curvy par-5 that runs alongside the lake; a great risk-reward hole. You can either try to take a shortcut and hit your ball over the lake or play it safe and lay-up on the fairway. My dad would often grab some old balls from his bag and we'd hit a couple off the 18th tee out into the lake just for fun. I always looked forward to the turn and grabbing a delicious hot dog from the halfway house. I'd typically get Gatorade from the beverage cart. I once accidentally broke an iron at the driving range. Along with the range, practice facilities include a practice putting green and a practice chipping and bunker shot area. The practice bunker is big. The range has Titleist range balls laid out in pyramids for all golfers to use. I played in a club tournament one time. I believe it was a July 4th tournament because each of us had to carry around a small American flag. Based on our handicap, we got extra strokes. I forget how the game was played exactly, but I remember I had nine strokes remaining after I finished 18 holes. That meant I could keep playing until my nine strokes were gone, so we went back to hole number one. I ended up parring the 1st (par 5) and 2nd (par 4) holes and sticking my flag in the cup on No. 2 to signify how far I'd gotten. In this particular tournament, the players who traveled the farthest won. I ended up winning. I can't remember if I finished 1st or what, but it was a lot of fun and one of the prouder moments I've had in golf. I recall several of the employees (mainly cart attendants) attended nearby Pfeiffer University in Misenheimer. At the time of writing this review, Old North State has hosted the Atlantic Coast Conference men's golf championship 22 out of the last 24 years, including this year (2019), and will host again next year (2020). My parents' alma mater, Wake Forest, has won 18 ACC titles and 22 individual championships. My alma mater, Georgia Tech, has won 18 ACC titles, including this year, and 15 individual championships. Wake and Tech are the two most successful schools in ACC men's golf. Go Deacs and Jackets!

I really can't express how terrible my experience with Old North State club was. The level of…read moreunprofessional conduct by their coordinator Tara W. and manager Brian was astonishing. Tara did not know any answers to simple questions about hosting an event, "Is outside food allowed?" "Is this date still available?" "What is the minimum for ordering food through the club?" Not only did she not have answers, she does not reply to calls or emails for weeks at a time. This is a terrible way to conduct business in general, but especially during these stressful Covid times when people are re-planning their events multiple times. Comparably, I have nothing but amazing things to say about other venues in the area like Childress Vineyards and Reid Farm that have been so professional and helpful during our search. Even for the venues that did not give me the answers I hoped for about food, timing, or space, I gave 5 star reviews due to their knowledge and timely responses.

This is an annual conference in Seagrove, NC- an area considered a pottery mecca in the United…read moreStates. They have a long history of generational potters across the area and also draws new artists into the area! Because it is a destination town for collectors- there is room for all kinds of art, especially ceramic! The conference theme changes annually and they have numerous presenters each year. Last year showcased three amazing artists and their surface decorating techniques. Plus the added lectures from more artists. I especially loved the mayor opening the conference last year with the "move here" pitch! The 2026 Theme: Clay Colorama! This year has already kicked off with a fabulous colorist, ceramicist and artist all the way from Hawaii! Dean McRaine, a self taught pottery who takes colored clay and arranges intricate patterns in a block and slices the pictures off- making hundreds of copies of one image that takes about a month to create! For the next 2 days we will learn from 3 artist all working side by side and taking turns explaining their process. Laura Caroline Casas, Carol Long & Scott Jones will be the demonstrating artists. We will also have more guest speakers- Lily Lund and Andrew Clark. Food is catered for participants. Tonight was Peppers Moon Catering with a fabulous chicken dinner. This is my second year coming to conference and I'm kinda mad at myself for not writing up this review last year! Registration opens October, every year and this conference sells out fast because they limit it to 125 guests. I have also gone to another annual conference that averages 5k-6k participants! In comparison, the more intimate setting gives me more opportunity to really absorb everything the artist are teaching. I appreciate the hard work of the staff and volunteers and really love the facility they use. They also listen to feedback- last year the tables for meals were too close together- this year they are spaced out better. They also struggled with video feeds of all the demonstrating artists and I can already see that they are trying a different approach this year. Perks of this particular conference. Location- if you plan to stay extra, you cannot go wrong exploring and meeting the local potters. Artist- the event organizers do a great job with theme and finding current artists to demo or lecture Food- they feed you and well! Starworks- this is a multifaceted art center in Star, NC that has an entire floor dedicated to ceramics, clay development, testing and processing. Smaller number of participants. I really feel like that is a huge push to come! I hope to return again next year! I'm turning into a conference junkie, lol
