I'm camping now in the Uwharrie National Forest, Troy NC. As much as I love camping you're doing a nice job finding all these wonderful places for me to camp. You'll never know how much I appreciate what you're doing for me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Thanks for showing these. I don't know anything about dispersed camping or campsites so this is really helpful.

I used this area this weekend. Had to cut it short. Me and the wife went into town to look at a few things. When we came back two people parked there cars in our parking spot next to our camper. I was a little ticked off.

@LivingOurDreamNow 4 года назад

Wow - Doesn't sound like good camper etiquette. Hope they were only there for a short visit and not trying to muscle in on your free camping spot. Thanks for watching! Hope all went well.

@legestrom 4 года назад

Did it appear most spots were taken on a weekend? I'd like to go up there this fall, but with the 4 hour drive from raleigh i'd like to make sure i have a good chance of getting one of those spots.

Didn't notice any streams that run near or through any of the sites. Are there any streams near the sites,nice to have water.

@LivingOurDreamNow 3 года назад

I believe there is potable water available at the cabin along with restrooms. There is a stream near the cabin too, but atop the ridge water will be more difficult to find.

We usually camp out of our car, which is a Toyota Corolla. Would we have a problem with getting to these sites?

@LivingOurDreamNow 3 года назад

There were two wheel drive cars on Old NC-105, but personally I wouldn't take anything with low clearance on that road. There were some deep ruts in the road that may be difficult to avoid. The road is wide enough for you to turnaround if you decide the road is too rustic for your vehicle. Hope this helps. Lou

@asellars 3 года назад

Any water sources along that route? (not hookups but streams)

@LivingOurDreamNow 3 года назад

Recommend you check around the information cabin area. This is before the ascent and you'll have a better chance of finding stream water. Can't remember if there was a fresh water fill at the cabin area. Most of the campsites in this video are on a ridge and hilltop so finding stream water may entail a hike if you don't tank up before arriving at the campsite.

Hey 👋 do you have to register your entry? If it’s only 14 days how do they keep track? Thank you

@LivingOurDreamNow 7 месяцев назад

There is no registry.

@jje9551 4 года назад

I really want to do this type of camping but afraid if I drive down at the location for the weekend there will not be any free spots. Is there something else near that location you are aware of?

@LivingOurDreamNow 4 года назад

There are plenty of campsites along Old NC 105, especially if you have a compact camping configuration. A midweek arrival should maximize your choices. All the free camping locations I have scouted are listed on my RU-vid Channel under the "Free Camping in NC" playlist. The nearest alternate free campsites I've scouted would be the Brown Mountain Dispersed Camping Area approximately an hour southeast of Linville Gorge. Safe travels!

@swaaggdaddi7632 3 года назад

There’s always spots or close by

@YTusercomment 4 месяца назад

If you drive down to Old NC 105 on a Friday evening, or early Saturday morning, the major likelihood is all of the sites will already be filled.

@BenjaminPerez-nc8rc 4 месяца назад

We just left there with our 26’ overland travel trailer and f-150. Had to have all sedan drivers turn around. We also needed to unhitch the truck. Youre supposed to go down this road one way so all the spaces allow exit only from one direction unless you can 7-8 point turn and overland to get out the way youve come. Came here to note that these roads are severely washed out even when dry. Some ruts are 3-in-a-row and 3 feet deep each here now (why the cars had to all turn around behind us). Will not be coming back for tent camping either. These spots are almost all pocket spots and not open enough time allow any nice space or views like you see in this video. They are also extremely uneven and studded full of large round boulders. High clearance is necessary like this guy says. Definitely a no if youre worried about getting someone out in case of a medical emergency.

@LivingOurDreamNow 4 месяца назад

Sounds like you were on the southwest end of this route. None of the campsites shown in this video were on the southwest portion of Old NC 105. Access as shown in the video.

@Tkeenan1995 4 года назад

Great video! I stay at the Sugar Cove campsite every year and was looking at taking a trip down this road. Do you think my 2wd Chevy colorado with mud tires would make it on this road if its dry? Thanks again for the awesome content I love NC much love from Ohio

@LivingOurDreamNow 4 года назад

Yes, definitely your truck will do fine on Old NC 105. Just make sure you enter from the north by the cabin and don't go past Wiseman's View. I'm told the road deteriorates to high clearance 4x4 only.

@amywright1133 4 года назад

It's there any camping spots near where you can get in the water?

@LivingOurDreamNow 4 года назад

Not at the Kistler Memorial Dispersed Camping Area without a substantial hike. River Access is a short drive away near Linville Falls within the Blue Ridge Parkway.

@amywright1133 4 года назад

LivingOurDreamNow ok thanks for the info. Watching your videos now. I live in Greensboro NC. Id love to find a place that has access to playing in the water somewhere with a dog.
