The countdown to Craven Country Jamboree is officially underway as the campground officially opened the gates Sunday morning.

The campground will be located north of Highway 11 on the Regina Beach side of the valley, behind the Valley Storage facility.

The camping area will include all reserved and general camping areas. There will be day parking beside the site.

To try and be more accommodating, Craven organizers have also been selling single-day passes. Kim Blevins with the Craven Country Jamboree said they are selling well.
