Sharing this Carolina Girl's fave spots! From the mountains to the sea, the Carolinas have so many great spots for a vacation or a weekend getaway!
Davidson River Campground is my Favorite Campground in NC! My mom started camping here in the 1970's and it became a family favorite.

Surfside Beach, SC - close enough to Myrtle Beach to be able to shop and play there if you want to, but far enough away to stay out of the MESS!

We were gifted Season Passes to Carowinds this year. Passes include parking, if you go twice the pass is paid for in value!

When staying at Davidson River Campround or in Brevard we like to add a visit to the Cradle of Forestry to our stay. With paved paths throughout the outdoor museum it was great for when we were pushing a stroller. The outdoor sections were dog friendly, so that is an added bonus!

A trip to Surfside Beach isn't complete without a visit to Crabby Mike's! They have something for everyone but the main event for our family is the CRAB LEGS!!! I also really like the she-crab soup!
