Camp, float, fish and explore along the banks of the New River
Buckeye Chestnut trees and the rushing sound of the New River make for a tranquil getaway from hot summer days in the city. Located in Ashe County, North Carolina, New River State Park is a quick two-hour drive from Charlotte that offers opportunities to canoe, tube, fish, hike and explores. There are 14 non-electric, walk-in campsites available at the U.S. 221 Access and 10 available at Wagoner Access. Tent campsites at the Wagoner Access are shady and complete with a fire ring, picnic table, and designated tent pads, and can accommodate up to six people with a maximum of three tents. From the parking lot to campsites is approximately a 250-yard walk (2.5 football fields). Bucket-style wheelbarrows are provided to load and maneuver gear to campsites. The campground also has a well-kept bathhouse with hot showers. All sites can be reserved in advance.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom
WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
