Motels in Smithfield, North Carolina

The town of Smithfield, North Carolina, is located on I-95 30 miles east of Raleigh, 100 miles north of the South Carolina state line and approximately 125 miles from North Carolina's beaches. The Neuse River runs through Smithfield before it heads on through Goldsboro and eventually New Bern to the ocean. Fishing, paddling, and hiking along the river will attract the outdoor adventurer. Travelers will enjoy nature watching, canoe or kayak sports, or a picnic along River Walk in the historic Town Commons area. A boat ramp is located at the end of Front Street. Smithfield is known for its antique venues, along with the neighboring small town of Selma. It is home to the Ava Gardner Museum and to Carolina Premium Outlet Mall where bargain-seeking shoppers can spend half a day or more, all within a mile or two of most of Smithfield's hotels.
