    Creswell, North Carolina

    Welcome to Pettigrew State Park Campground! Nestled near the quaint town of Creswell, NC, this spot offers a unique blend of history, nature, and relaxation. If you're into camping with a touch of history, you've hit the jackpot here. The campground is right next to an old plantation, which makes for a fascinating visit and some pretty cool family photos.

    The campground itself is pretty straightforward. You won't find electric or sewer hookups, but there are showers and toilets to keep you comfortable. Firewood is available for a reasonable price, though it might be a bit damp sometimes. Each site comes with a picnic table and a fire ring, perfect for those evening campfires. Pets are welcome, so feel free to bring your furry friends along.

    Lake Phelps is a short hike away and offers a great spot for swimming, boating, and fishing. The lake is shallow, making it perfect for kids to splash around safely. If you're into hiking, the trails here are a treat. The Moccasin Trail is a favorite, but keep an eye out for local wildlife—some campers have had close encounters with snakes and even bears!

    For those interested in history, the nearby Somerset Place offers a deep dive into the area's past, including its more somber aspects. It's a great educational stop that adds a layer of depth to your visit.

    In summary, Pettigrew State Park Campground is a fantastic spot for a laid-back camping experience with a side of history and nature. Just remember to bring bug spray and maybe a kayak if you want to explore the lake more thoroughly. Enjoy your stay!
