High Country Bus Festival
7/21/2010The High Country Bus Festival is held every summer during the last full weekend of July. During the hot summers it is great to get up in the mountains and cool off in the breezes. BUT - it can get chilly at night, be sure to pack some warm clothes! There were nearly 140 buses that made the trek up the mountain last year. What a great opportunity to come camping with old friends and new. Our location is right on the New River! Angie and Peyton Colvard of Twin Rivers Family Campground in Crumpler, NC are our wonderful hosts.
