The claim: Goldsboro, 3,233
What it really is: Seymour Johnson Air Force Base is basically your typical Air Force base.
After looking at the base via Google maps I can find nothing there that resembles a prison camp or anything that one would not find on an Air Force base.

Andrews, North Carolina
The claim: Federal experiment in putting a small town under siege. Began with the search/ hunt for survivalist Eric Rudolph. No persons were allowed in or out of town without federal permission and travel through town was highly restricted. Most residents compelled to stay in their homes. Unregistered Baptist pastor from Indiana visiting Andrews affirmed these facts.
What it really is: The area was heavily searched in 1998 by the FBI and state law enforcement agents because it was believed that the terrorist Eric Rudolph was there (in fact he was captured in the nearby town of Murphy in 2003).
As for the claim that the town was under siege during the search, and that travel was highly restricted and that no one was allowed in or out of the town without permission from the government, this is probably just an exaggeration and an misinterpretation of what one person observed. Also, I can find no other claims to back this claim up.

Fort Bragg, North Carolina
The claim: Special Warfare Training Center. Renovated WWII detention facility.
What it really is: Yes, there was a World War Two POW camp there, and yes, Special Forces do train there, but this does not mean that it is a FEMA.
Even if the POW camp has been renovated, it could just be that the base is using it for barracks.

Camp Lejeune / New River Marine Airfield, North Carolina
The claim: facility has renovated, occupied WWII detention compounds and "mock city" that closely resembles Anytown, USA.
What it really is: First, the claim that the sites were World War Two detention compounds (or POW camps) is false. There never were any POW camps there.
As for the claim that the facilities have been renovated, well, both bases are 70 years old, so it isn't surprising that the buildings there are occasional renovated and update from time to time.
There is also no evidence to suggest that the bases have mock cities located on them, and even if they did it still wouldn't mean the place is a FEMA camp, just that it's a place to train in urban combat.
