We moved to the Jomeokee Campground in Pinnacle, NC on June 3. http://www.Jomeokee.net This campground is hard to rate….it’s really small, maybe 15 sites, and it only has 15 amp electrical service and no dump station, only about half the sites have elec. and some sites require a longer cord. I think the longest camper that would fit in here would be a 15-16′, and some sites are not completely level. But it’s in a wooded patch in the middle of old farmland and has million dollar views of Pilot Mountain! The owner is a really nice guy who’s told us the history of the farm and the area. We have the campground all to ourselves and it’s peaceful & quiet (except for the birds who wake up way too early). We are loving it here! The view from my camper window:
The farmland part of the campground also hosts events like concerts, weddings, etc. We’ve been watching them prepare for a US Marine Corps 5K Mud Run on Saturday. It’s touted as a “fun and muddy, crazy and filthy obstacle course race”. They have to run through several big mud holes, streams, over logs & hurdles, and right before the finish line is a huge mud wallow that’s chest-deep! We can see the finish line from our campers so unless a bunch of spectators stand in front of it, we’ll have a good view. They are expecting 2800 participants!!
There’s a good little home-cooking restaurant called EJ’s Restaurant right at the exit off Hwy. 52. Hand-patted burgers are $2.80, when’s the last time you saw prices like that? And they were really good, too. Be sure to get the homemade chips….thin-sliced potatoes fried with crispy edges (but not hard and crispy all the way through) Mmmmmm!! They serve them with ranch dressing on the side if you like.
