Hunter Peak Campground
My family went camping at Hunter Peak Campground for many summers when I was a teenager. We stayed at the very large two family campsite, the deepest if I remember right next to the path taking you to the bridge. My grandparents now rest there forever and so do my memories of childhood. I look forward to taking my family there one day, keeping with those wonderful family lines....
