N.C. State Parks to Standardize Camping Check-In Times

State parks currently vary in check-in and check-out times, but this year all parks will have a check-in time of 3 p.m. and a check-out time of noon, according to an article at SmokyMountainNews.com.
The new hours apply to tent, trailer and/or RV campsites, group campsites, equestrian campsites, paddle-in campsites, walk-in campsites, backpacking campsites and camper cabins. The only exceptions will be overnight facilities at The Summit Environmental Education and Conference Center at Haw River State Park and the vacation cabins at Hanging Rock and Morrow Mountain state parks.
