Even if it’s a little off the beaten path, do you have a favorite campground nearby this route. I’m going the first weekend of October. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Both of your routes are going to have a lot of two lane roads. Even though it is a longer mileage wise I would probably take an I-95 to I-40 to US-64 route. It will take less time than your dark blue route and will only be 15 minutes more than your route through Fayetteville. All of the roads once you are on I-95 will be multi-lane until you turn left or right from US-64 to access Jordan Lake’s campgrounds.
My parents used to love Cliffs of the Neuse State Park when I was a kid in the Eighties. We had a popup though not sure of feasibility with an RV.
There are some good ones in Fayetteville!
