Spring Hill Park, Chapel Hill, NC

Very remote and quiet park in the country area outside of Chapel Hill. The park is a meandering grouping of sites nestled in the mature forest. Our site was pull through and extremely long. There are no issues with the length of the site for anyone with large rigs, trailers, extra cars, etc. The park is on well water, so the pressure is on the low side and the power is sketchy. When you connect to 50A, expect to randomly pop the breaker if you pull in the mid-40s. We were closely watching the number of AC units we had on and shut one or more down every time we had to turn on another appliance and we still had to reset the breaker 5 times during our stay. The sites are in a beautiful wooded setting, so don't expect to get satellite service and they don't offer cable service to anyone staying short term. The park is mostly filled with long term and permanent residents. The camp hosts that run the office and manage the campground were extremely friendly and helpful, which was the one high point for our stay at the park. They offer wifi, but it seldom worked well enough to check email, let alone get on the internet. I really wish RV parks would be honest about their wifi. If you stay here, bring your hot spot if you need to get on a computer. The setting was beautiful and relaxing, but we felt cut off from the world, which we don't like and the park being full of mostly long term residents gave our stay and even more isolated feel. We give this park a 2 out of 5 rating and will not stay here again when we come back to the area.
