DIRECTIONS TO CAMP AGAPÉ
FROM POINTS WEST OF DURHAM USING HWY 64 EAST
AVOIDING I-40 CONGESTION: (directions using I-40 have their own page)
In general, any directions have potential to be confusing for many people, especially to a place well secluded from the bustle of traffic and city roads. In order for directions to be effective, you must trust in them and not second-guess what is written. If you follow our written directions exactly (especially where exact distances are underlined), you should arrive without getting lost along the way.
From Charlotte, Kannapolis, and Salisbury areas, I-85 and Hwy 64 connect near Lexington.
From Statesville, Hickory, and points West, I-40 connects with Hwy 64 (Exit # 168).
From Winston-Salem and Greensboro areas, Hwy 421 brings you to Hwy 64.
From the Burlington area, Hwy 87 brings you to Hwy 64.
From Chapel Hill and Durham areas, Hwy 751 brings you directly to New Hill Road on Hwy 64
