Days 46-47 - Newport, NC-Overnight

Whispering Pines Campground & RV Park 3/3/15 - 3/4/15
2791 NC-24
Newport, NC 28570


It was Monday, 3/3rd when I sat down to plan my route to my next site, Holiday Trav-L-Park in Virginia Beach, VA.  Close to a six hour drive.  I decided I didn't want to drive that long.  I've found 3½-4 hrs on the road is just about enough.  So, with a click of the mouse along the route I would have taken, I focused on a shore point along the way.  So many to choose from.  The winner? Whispering Pines Campground: 166 miles and about 3 hours 15 minutes from Myrtle Beach.  The next day?  207 miles and 3½ hours.  Perfect.  Spoke to Denise who, on a Monday, struggled through the new data system they've implemented as a result of the recent acquisition and booked site #21.  You'll notice on the map only those in yellow are for over-nighters or weekenders (renters) in this campground.    I've circled 21B that you'll need a magnifying glass to see.  Most are long term or seasonal.  An uneventful stay with few humans seen at any given time.  The main attraction for me was seeing robins all over the place doing their thing.  I left this campground at 9:45 a.m. in fog.  No, not in mind or spirit, rather, as in weather.


A most welcomed sight...


...something I'd like to bring home to those who
are tired of seeing things monochromatic white.

  1. Love the photos of the robins. However, with more snow hounding the northeastern coast, hang back until the latest front passes through.
