Secluded camping area next to the swimming hole on long creek. Very quiet and peaceful. Spend your evening relaxing or swimming. Picnic table is provided. No bathroom right now. It’s just a short walk down hill to the campground. (250 steps) It’s close to US National Whitewater center, Kings Mountain National Military park, and Crowders Mountain park. 3 miles off I-85 and US-321.

The swimming hole

We had an awesome time at the swimming hole. Our tent was a little too big 14x22 to fit next to the creek, Steve let us set it up in the parking area lol. The family and dogs definitely had a great time for a quick getaway.

The swimming hole

Really enjoyed camping at the swimming hole. Location was beautiful and very peaceful. Very secluded. Steve greeted us upon arrival and delivered firewood directly to our site. Steve made himself available if needed but didn’t see or hear from him for the rest of our stay. Site was clean and right next to the swimming hole. Water felt nice in the afternoon. Camp site had a fire ring and picnic table. Would definitely come back again.

The swimming hole

Very beautiful and private spot, the kids enjoyed the river, it’s the perfect depth for children to wade if u stay on the rocks and also has a drop off for swimming on the left side of the rapids. This is my new favorite spot!! Will definitely be coming back!!
