Does anyone have a family friendly cg they could recommend in the Ashville/Charlott/Greensboro area? How about any activities in that area that a 5 and 3 years old would enjoy. Thanks!!
  • Franklin NC. Gem capital of the United States. Panning for rubies and sapphires.







    This is what I found. A 65 carat blue star sapphire. My grand kids loved the loaded buckets of gems.






  • Certainly the Asheville area is different from the Charlotte/Greensboro area.

    In the latter, I would recommend Tanglewood Park Campground It is located west of Winston-Salem. There is plenty to do in the park Recreation, including championship golf course, aquatic center, hiking, and much more.

    While there the you and the kids would enjoy a visit to Old Salem, founded in 1766.

    About 60 miles away, in Asheboro is The NC Zoo, the largest walk-through zoo in the world. (The do have trams :))
