Stone Mountain was a new spot for our family this month!  Just north of Wilkesboro NC, Stone Mountain is on the eastern side of the mountain range that we usually summit heading towards Jefferson and Boone.  

As we pulled in to Stone Mountain, a huge afternoon thunderstorm was brewing, so we were happy to have a chance to set up rain free!  This campground is huge - in fact there are 3 separate loops - each with their own personality and varying amenities.  The visitor center was closed (due to Covid) but we drove through to find our perfect site.  Take a ride around and decide for yourself, but for us - we surely picked the field sites - a bit of shade, while backing up to an enormous field (which had GREAT fireflies!) 

The bathrooms and showers were clean (yes, hot water too!)  Butterflies were abundant and we enjoyed our hike up Stone Mountain.  Good to know - there is a service road just below the summit of Stone Mountain - so if you have a family member who cannot do a 5 mile hike - they can drive to the top and take about 200 steps to see the homestead instead of staying behind!  We love this option for our parents!
