People seeking shelter in a Southern Region Forest Service campground should:

• Select a National Forest from the list below and call or check online to see if any campgrounds are closed.
• Call the desired campground or check recreation.gov to see if space is available.
• Upon arrival, notify the campground host that they are being displaced due to the storm, so that no fee will be collected. 
• Exercise caution and keep aware of changing weather conditions.
   

Some Southern Region campgrounds will be closed due to the weather, including all facilities on the Croatan National Forest in eastern North Carolina. The Uwharrie National Forest in central North Carolina may also be impacted by the storm, so visitors should stay alert to weather information and have a back-up plan. Follow the National Forests in North Carolina Facebook (www.facebook.com/nfsnc) or Twitter (twitter.com/NFsNCarolina) for updates.
