I'm seriously considering doing some tent camping for NCAC instead of staying at a hotel. Looks like there might be a couple options about 20 mins from the site.

Anybody else interested? Temps should be nice and comfy for tent camping during that time of year.

I'm planning on taking a day or two and doing some hiking too. I'm down for sure. A backup hotel close by would be nice in case of bad weather.

Most of the sites are privately owned/run places, but looks like a couple decent options.

Two of which were, with the times to the Auto X site.

Mi Mountain Campground 12min/8.5 miles

Rose Creek Campground 16 mins/8.4 miles

I looked up to see what kind of park service campgrounds are nearby and found Standing Indian campground is 21 mins away, that would probably be my preference as opposed to a private run place closer to town. It's a little more in the middle of nowhere which is certainly preferable to me. It's also a bit cheaper at $16/night, the others are about $20/night.

Camping that weekend would be great... Sadly NCAC conflicts with BMWCCA's Fall HPDE *again* this year, so I will miss it. Seems like it's feast or famine with these things.

I registered today for the NCAC, I reserved at the Comfort Inn.
Did my 1st AX with the GTI last Sunday with Triad.
For my 1st AX of the year and with a new car the results are encouraging.

BTW, Highlands got a group camp site in the campground, I put myself and Austin down for a spot. No charge to people staying there which was nice of them.

I don't see a option to link directly to their post but it was posted on their FB page. I just hit them up via messenger to let them know I wanted a spot.
