Kerr Lake NC

Post by havliii »

June 6,7,8,9

I will be camping and sailing at Kerr Lake NC. The campsites are all waterfront with sandy beaches. It is is 'mast up' 'get on and go' sailing for four straight days. We camp at Kimball Point Campgrounds, typically 3-6 catamarans, 4-5 kayaks, 8-10 rowers, few canoes, some SUP's, boardsailors, etc........

Takes about a week to recover, join us if you can......
We have 5 campsites reserved and some sites are still available.

Thanks for the heads up. We will be doing The Duck Cup distance race in the Outer Banks of NC that weekend.

I just returned from Kerr Lake, lake level is very high (306'). Not sure of the elevation of your campsight, but I expect many low-level sites will be underwater (at Hibernia, Henderson pt). Might want to call to ensure sites are dry. I hope to have my '17 out (first time in 10 years). I am across the lake from Kimball , I will sail over if wind permits.
