πŸ‘ Headed there for a soccer tournament? Beautiful park for a soccer event. Lots to do for the little brothers and sisters as well as room to stretch out between games. Need more parking and the turf is a little slippery and difficult to navigate.

Jones Station RV Park and Campground

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Great campground. Well taken care of. A lot of big pull through sites. We stop here every year on our way from Florida to Delaware. Easy off of I-85 after a long day of traveling for us. Friendly staff. Cleanest bath house I have ever seen. The view of the stars at night is wonderful.

GROUND ZERO TACTICAL LASER TAG & VIRTUAL REALITY
Laser tag center
πŸ‘πŸ‘ My friend finally got me up here last weekend, and I'm glad I came. They have a nice arena, a little small but you're still able to have some good fun here! They use the Battle Rifle Pro from Battle Company, which don't use vests but rather a head band. I recommend installing the CallSign app and...

Alamance Battleground State Historic Site
State park
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Another great NC historic site. Exhibits are on point and the staff gave a great overview to a point that could be seen as the start of the steps to the American Revolution. It’s a short walking tour and well worth the visit.

Shallow Ford Natural Area
Park
🫀 If you want to go for a secluded hike in the woods, then this park is fine. But if you expect to see the Haw River and hike along it for the scenery forget it! Go to Great Bend Park nearby. We hiked 1/2 hr before seeing a small glimpse of the river. Passed only one couple on a sunny late September S...

Great Bend Park
Park
πŸ‘ This place could be beautiful with a little TLC! The trails are great for getting some exercise and fresh air. People have a tendency to litter and the lack of trash receptacles adds to the problem. I’m thinking of coming back and cleaning up the next time I visit. It would be nice if a little money...

Chris's
Hamburger restaurant
😐 Disclaimer: this will be one of my most boring reviews. That’s because outside of a decent lunch, Chris’s is pretty boring. The bright cheerfulness of the server was not enough to offset the depressing dimness inside Chris’s. They have album covers from the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s adorning the walls,...
