Pettigrew State Park
Creswell, North Carolina
Pettigrew State Park showcases the rich habitat of Lake Phelps and the Scuppernong River, home to wintering tundra swans and cypress trees with cavernous archways. It also embodies a rich history, from dugout canoes thousands of years old that have been dredged up from the lake, as well as the nearby Somerset Place, a State Historic Site that preserves a vast plantation worked by hundreds of enslaved Black Americans. Tent sites, trailer and RV sites (no hookups), group tent sites, showers and firewood are all available at this state park.
