She saw NO office either and there was 4-6 campers just sitting there but she saw no people and there was no one there available to talk with about anything.

Or, camp at the pristine campground, where a sweet little cabin, complete with Adirondack chairs will finish off your relaxing, peaceful day. Kudos to the Medoc Mountain State Park crew.

Cliffs of the Neuse State Park is located in Seven Springs, NC. The park is named for the 90-foot…read morecliffs that overlook the Neuse River. I first stopped at the Visitor Center. I like visiting these as they are like a little museum in each state park. This visitor center was very interactive and had bright colors with the storyboards. I like that they covered the local ecology, the history of the river and also how we can help make better choices to keep the water safe. In the lobby, there are some taxidermies; you will see a black bear, an owl, a fox and a bobcat that lived in the area. When the fault formed, the water created the cliffs. The cliffs are unique in the layers formed. The white and yellow layers of sand and gravel are remnants of ancient beaches. The Atlantic Ocean once covered the area. Then the dark gray and black layers were made of clay likely deposited by ancient marshes. Between these layers are marine life, seashells, shale, and gravel. These got left behind as the sea levels rose and fell. These formations are 90 feet high and 200 feet underground. Native Americans gathered here, the Tuscarora and Saponi tribes. The river acted as a transportation route and a source of food. They used canoes to go from the coast to the inland forest. The high ground served as a lookout point, allowing them to see anyone approaching. They hunted deer and turkey. The museum has stone tools and other artifacts that were found in the area. During the Civil War, in the Battle of Whitehall (now Seven Springs), the Union soldiers used the higher ground to fight the Confederates. The Confederates were building an ironclad ship (the CSS Neuse). They thought being upriver would keep them safe from the Union ships. They had hoped to retake New Bern with it. The ship survived the battle with only minor damage and was moved to Kinston to have an engine and heavy iron armor added. (The ship can be seen at the CSS Interpretive Museum in Kinston, NC) I liked the phones available for a glimpse into the past from people who were part of the park, and the viewer glasses. The building is air-conditioned, and restrooms are available. There is a small gift shop too. The staff were friendly as they were expecting campers. There is an Overlook for a beautiful view. It is just steps away from the parking lot. The view was stunning. The signs make it easy to find from the visitor center. There are some trails to follow as well if you want to explore more.

I was looking for a place to stay and a coworker told me about this place. I was glad he did, because I really like this place. Hunting and fishing is available here too. They have a sign out front advertising hunting and even have fishing bait for sale here. I have seen other people catching fish here and the owner even told me that I can fish here if I want too. Call for more information about hunting. Also, you can rent RV sites here. I have seen several RVs here. Prices are very reasonable too that I have heard. They also rent cabins here too. As a matter of fact, that's why I'm here. Their cabins are available month to month as far as renting. The cabins have electricity and have Air Conditioning and heaters in them. They also have WiFi available as you just have to ask owners for the password. I like their cabins and have rented a cabin for only $400 a month. That's a great price and that includes electricity. A bargain in 2019 if you ask me. Now their cabins are almost primitive though. They have no bathrooms nor do they have running water. However, their is an outside sink where you can wash your hands or brush your teeth. It is about 100 feet away. They also have a port o potty about 100 yards away along with a out-shower where you can take a shower. Yes, it's a pretty cool place.
