Wednesday October 2nd – Thursday October 10th
Bandits Roost Campground, Wilkesboro, N. Carolina

After a short drive south, we arrived at Bandits Roost Campground at Kerr Scott Lake, an Army Corps property. We were lucky to find a great site that was spacious and with a view of the lake. The weather was very good, so we were able to ride the mountain biking trails that exist right around the lake on several days. Many of the trails we could ride to from the campsite. Riding the trails was the main activity that we enjoyed at this park. Kurt also took the dogs on some hikes where they could run off leash.

We also attended the Brushy Mountain Apple Festival in the town of Wilkesboro. It was a one day festival of typical arts & crafts, mountain music, food vendors and of course apples. We enjoyed walking around the downtown streets to view all the vendors and listen to some country music.

This campground will definitely be on our “go back” list for any future travels through N. Carolina. We truly enjoyed the excellent trails there and the nice campground. Our southern trek toward home continues into Florida.
