I do not recommend or intend on returning…read more This place advertises a large blow up water slide that was closed the whole time we were there with the exception of 2 hours, when a volunteer manned it so his own kids could use it. When his shift was done, it never opened up again all weekend. The change machine in the arcade was broken, but because they are cashless there was no way to get coins for my grandkids to play games. Bingo that was scheduled for 6pm started late because the volunteer came to set it up at 6. The next day we purchased the sand for gem mining and had to wait over 20 minutes for a volunteer to fill the water tank so it would work. My husband said the men's bathrooms were grossly dirty. Positives: The small pool was nice, the grandchildren had fun there. The bounce pad was too hot during the day but was fun for them also. Sites are grassy and had WiFi since there was no cell service there. The volunteers were nice. Even though bingo started late, it did end up being fun.

At check in I went into the office wearing a mask and neither lady was wearing one until the guy that came in right after me entered the office wearing one too. Employees should wear one to protect customers. You are protecting yourselves from customers but are not protecting the very people that gave you the much needed revenue, just a little detail. Very nice gravel but my site was not level and I am talking about one side lower than the other, not front and back but I was able to fix that. Didn't have a problem with noise, the road does not have heavy traffic anyway. Overall well organized with mowing lawn and dumpster. Close to NC Zoo and to Asheboro and High Point, we would return if we were in the area

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.

First things first. This is a discount motel that also happens to be the only one in town. Curb…read moreyour expectations. It's a bit smelly with a rug that somehow feels sticky even when dry. And like another review said, the blankets do have some cigarette burns in the smoking rooms. With all that being said... We had fun staying there. It wasn't our choice, as our previous plans fell through and it was the only option in Mount Pleasant. But the positives outweighed the negatives. It was approximately $90-100 US a night, which is quite expensive for what it is, but then again driving to Concord/Charlotte isn't worth the money either. We were upgraded to a larger room due to them having rooms free. The room itself was pretty big with a lot of space including a private bathroom, a mini fridge, microwave, bedside charger for electronics, air-conditioner/heater, big screen TV with cable and free wifi. The owners seemed nice; the husband of the two went out of his way to recommend restaurants in the town, constantly ask if we were enjoying our stay and even open the door whenever I grabbed coffee in the morning. On our first night there the water heater happened to break down in our portion of the motel, and he apologised multiple times, offering us the use of the showers in the empty rooms if needed (the heater was fixed the same evening). We had also requested to adjust the daily cleaning schedule as we were exhausted from the trip, to which they happily obliged and only came around once we had said that we were ready to have the cleaners in the room. The motel is right next to the Hardee's which makes for a great cheap, greasy breakfast. And across the street is a 24 hour Circle K for beer, snacks and cigs if you need it. We knew what we were getting into when we rented the room. You're in a small town with one motel, it's not the Ritz Carlton, but it does everything that it should.

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!

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.

Jessica greeted us in the parking lot outside and showed us inside and gave us the grand tour. Our room was the largest one- with the biggest bathroom too and just inside the front door. Perfect for us! Across from our room was the sitting room where her father (who was visiting) was working on a puzzle. The father greeted us warmly and said we could help with the puzzle if we would like. Noted*, there was a small hall way with stairs going up to the other rooms, and half bath & into the dining sun room. This is where breakfasts would be, coffee, tea and snacks were available whenever you wanted and the house was simply charming. There was a formal dining room too- I loved the antiques and historic quality in the decor. Jessica and her husband bought the Duck Smith House a couple years ago and they were both very generous with any help and information. I did partake in the puzzle and helped finish it. The breakfasts were simply delightful! Our first morning, she made apple sourdough pancakes that were an inch thick (at least)! And the bacon!!! Day two was quiche- one of my favorites and day three was waffles with stewed apples. I overheard Jessica telling someone else that she tries to rotate between sweet and savory for breakfast. John and I also enjoyed all the kitties, the goats- I fed them some grapes! and I loved the pumpkin patch they had set up for the weekend! John even went out to Justin's model shop. I hope I get to stay here again, because I absolutely loved it!!!
