Actually I don't go to the North End anymore..it's gotten way to crazy and crowded in the summer. Maybe the new camping regs will help but I think its gonna be a problem for people who have come for years and don't know that they have to reserve a site online now..when they start turning people away who drove 4 hrs to get here, and weren't planning on staying in a hotel, might be some angry and disappointed campers. Ft Fisher on the other hand is probably one of the most pristine beaches on the east coast where you can still drive a vehicle, nearly 4 miles to the end then you can walk miles more on virgin beaches in Bald Head preserve...this is my beach of preference by far !
