North Carolina Hwy 501

I don't think you would hear any RDU planes from the campgrounds at Lake Jordon. Never heard of that RV park in Moncure...which BTW is in the middle of nowhere.

Thanks for the replies & comparisons,we will spend the night in Santee S.C. and then head to N.C. via 95 north. We plan on taking the Rowland exit to pick up 501 to Hwy 1 then exit onto 501 to go to Pittsboro. The Collie event is in Pittsboro.

This will be a short trip... 3 nights max stay in N.C. then head back home.Has anyone stayed at Goodwins RV Park in Moncure N.C. ? We checked out Jordan Lake SP but we definitely want/need 50 amp service so we can run both ac units and want peace and quiet... no airport noise.

Everyone is free to do what they want but I had just as soon have a root canal as drive thru Fayetteville on Highway 87. But dont get of 95 at 501 go to the next exit take a left to Rowland and you miss some small roads and the only town you go thru is Rowland, you go around Laurinburg where the speed limit is 60

Would he better to catch NC-87 to Pittsboro from around Fayetteville, other than driving through Fayetteville and Sanford (bypass around Sanford is open now too).

US501 from I-95 is also pretty hilly too until you get to Aberdeen/Pinehurst area. Kinda up and down and on a two lane rd.
PLus jumping off at I-95 onto US501 will put you through lots of smaller SC and NC towns.IE Speed trap towns.

I live near it and have traveled that route many times, it is a good road but you will have some delays in Aberdeen=Southern Pines area. I would suggest you follow Us 1 from Aberdeen to Sanford as it is 4 lanes and 65-70 MPH. You will exit back onto 501 just north of Sanford, it is also a shorter route.
