Id like to stick to two major areas: Hotel Info The prices reflect average $Price (Rating) Wake Forest Rd Area: Days Inn Raleigh North Beltline: $47 (3.7 out of 5) Residence Inn Raleigh Midtown: $79 (4.5 out of 5) Hyatt Place Raleigh North: $85 (4.5 out of 5) Hilton North Raleigh: $99 (4.5 out of 5) Extended Stay America Raleigh $50 (3.9 out of 5) Homestead Raleigh - North $55 (3.7 out of 5) Capitol Blvd Area (State Highway 401): Holiday Inn North - Raleigh $91 (2.5 out of 5, Limited Reviews) Quality Inn North - Raleigh $55 (3.5 out of 5) EconoLodge Raleigh $59 (3.1 out of 5) Homestead Raleigh Northeast $63 (3.3 out of 5) Sleep Inn Raleigh $70 (2 out of 5, Limited Reviews) Wingate by Wyndham $60 (4.4 out of 5) Super 8 Motel $51 (2 out of 5, Limited Reviews) I know a lot of these are semi-expensive, but honestly they are the closest group of inexpensive hotels available. I for one am either staying at the wingate or the days inn, depending on my research of reviews Camping A few people have expressed interest in camping, to save some money. William B. Umstead National Park has campsites available. Facility: Tent and Trailer Campground. 28 drive-to campsites for tents and a limited number of sites for small recreational vehicles. There are no electrical/water hookups. Each campsite has a picnic table and grill. Location: Crabtree entrance (Hwy 70). Accommodates: Two tents, two vehicles and up to six people per campsite.

Then, its off to the Dunn-Benson Dragstrip for $5 Test and Tune Night. Its $5 to enter, and $5 to run. Should be a lot of fun. Dunn-Benson Dragstrip Directions, It takes about an hour. Friday: Adventure Land Raleigh! Its kind of a little kids park, but for $35 we get four hours of unlimited Go-Karting, Mini-golf, and Laser tag! For the rest of the day, enjoy shopping in Raleigh, or go out with the boys for drinks! Tons of nightlife to enjoy! Adventure Landing Directions As for bars (for those of us that are old enough) Hi5 is supposed to be awesome.

We will spend a day at the park, BBQing, Photoshooting, BSing, and just hanging out! Location, TBA, feel free to shoot me any ideas. (NO drinking and driving will be permitted/allowed/understood) Alright, we have decided on a park! We will be picnicking at William B. Umstead National Park in Raleigh. Click below for directions  THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DRINKING/ALCOHOL ALLOWED IN THE PARK. Please don't get us kicked out, we will drink at the hotels I'm SURE Pets are welcome, just have to be leashed. For the shelter, three of us from 3geez have agreed to pay for it. Food will be provided as well, but we will be MORE THAN HAPPY to accept donations :-) Sunday: Pack-up, Get ready for checkout, and say good-bye.... Breakfast/Lunch will be had, so don't just leave! What Should I Bring? Your car (duh), your friends, your wives, kids, dogs, whoever and whatever you want. Nothing illicit, but we are going to have FUN! If you bring your 2nd/3rd Gen Prelude, 3rd Gen Accord, or 1st Gen Integra, GREAT! If not, we are enthusiasts, we understand downtime, just bring whatever it takes to get you here! Lets get a chain going, to see how many people are wanting to attend. Please also note if you were interested in Adventure Land, so I can give them a heads up on how many of us will be going.

I would love to come, are there any cheap campgrounds or state parks nearby? im sure some people wouldnt mind camping or tenting, and hotels usually dont allow or charge more for dogs... or if there is a nearby rpr member or anyone involved with this meet who lives nearby that has a big yard and doesnt mind a tent or two? with the economy the way it is, we have to pinch our pennies to keep our basterd child cars on the road!!

Falls River and William B Umstead State Parks are both pretty close to Raleigh, on the north. Raven Rock looks to be 20 miles from downtown Benson, and 30 miles south of Raleigh. http://www.ncparks.gov/Visit/parks/by_map/central.php I like the idea of camping at a State Park.
