Living in South Mills, NC - 6/24/2014
The village of South Mills is in Camden County, NC with a population of about 464 people. Mostly white but there are a few blacks by ethnicity of the country records. The community is known for being on the south side of the State Park, Dismal Swamp and is located in part of the protected area. Joy Canal was created by Gen Geo Washington's troops as part of the inter-coastal waterway. The Sheriff's department is the protection, and there is a volunteer fire department. There is a small market and 2 gas stations and several churches. There is a post office in town and several thrift/antique shops and a barber. One of the gas stations has a grill inside with good food of local NC. Most all homes have wells but there is South Mills Water District servicing most homes in the area.

I do not know about the farming area which is vast. There are several creeks for fishing. The Dismal Swamp Recreation area has hiking and bike trails and has camping that you must hike into.Read More
