DEPARTURE NOTES: Hunt Horse Complex, NCSF, Raleigh, NC

This campground is on state fairgrounds property behind the Hunt Horse Complex off of Youth Center Drive.  All sites are back-in gravel pads, with full hookups, and are close together.  The area is pretty quiet except for several train horns during the day and crowd noise if there's an NC State home football game across the road.  During the state fair in October, availability is very limited and the rate is $30 per night instead of the usual $25 per night.  All sites are first come first served, unless previous arrangements are made for groups with the State Fair Security Office.  There is no bathhouse or full-time attendant but security is provided by State Fair Security, who also collects payment after you choose your site and phone them.  The area rea can be very dusty with the gravel roads and sites, and the hard-packed dirt entrance road.  The outdoor horse arena can be seen from the corner of the campground.  Cell phone coverage is good, and the free WiFi signal is okay most of the time.
