John, we stayed at Lake Occoneechee a few years ago, BEAUTIFUL place, we rented a pontoon boat for fishing and spent hours touring the lake. My wife and daughter were bored with the campground because "there was nothing to do", it was a State Park, and was nice setting.I've been thinking the same thing lately. Late March? Early April? Central location would be nice. Anyone have experience with Occoneechee or Staunton River State Parks at Kerr Lake?
