Camping Gems - North Carolina Tips


Driving
State law requires drivers to turn on their headlights whenever windshield wipers are used for inclement weather. If you are traveling on a motorcycle there are a couple of other laws you should know. You must wear a helmet and have your headlights on at all times.

Weather
Temperatures vary a great deal in North Carolina based on altitude.  During any part of the year there can be a 20-degree gap between the lower coastal areas and the higher mountain elevations, where it's generally much cooler. Average seasonal highs range from the seventies on the coastal plain to low sixties or fifties in the western mountains.  In the winter, average temperatures vary from low fifties on the coast to thirties in the mountains.
