Tent

Weekend Trip to Beach Bound Camp

Excellent place to set up tent, relax & enjoy yourself. Peaceful property & setting w/ super friendly & accommodating hosts. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Neal Creek Camping Sites

Great quiet spot not far from the interstate. Lots of room and nicely distanced from the other camp location. Cell service exceptional.

Weekend Trip to Golden Spot

Really nice spot for solo campers and large groups alike. My dogs were very happy with the space to roam. Convenient location to historic Gold Hill and hiking at Uwharrie and the Eagle Point Nature Preserve.

Weekend Trip to Open large grass fields near pond

A quick last-minute getaway and my second stay at Marc's property — perfect for a spontaneous evening escape, especially with bad weather on the way. It was great to let the pup run around and relax for a bit. Marc is always very responsive, and I really appreciate having his place as a go-to spot for a short retreat.

3 nights at Waterfall camping close to CLT

One of the best camping sites we have experienced. Watching the kids play in the waterfall while my wife and I sat in the shade was amazing. Scott was so easy to communicate with and the site is in perfect shape. We want to return again and again!

Weekend Trip to Golden Spot

Awesome! Paul has a beautiful property! Water & electric for our 34 ft class A was perfect. We were also pulling our jeep. Plenty of room to disconnect & hookup. Paul was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommended

Weekend Trip to Lucky Farms Under the Stars

The setup was so lovely and homey! had an awesome little part of the land that felt more like a community place where a larger group could hang out or find something to do. super kind people as well!

Weekend Trip to Golden Spot

We loved Paul's spot! He is attentive and welcoming host. Beautiful countryside and great amenities. We really enjoyed the pavilion available. We'll be back!

1 night at Waterfall camping close to CLT

Great views! Went as a solo female camper and overall felt safe. The host was really nice and occasionally would see the neighbors on the other side of the waterfall. They provided firestarters, hatchet, sticks and other useful things I didn't expect. I saw a beaver wandering around a couple of times. Would visit again!

2 nights at Waterfall camping close to CLT

Always one of my favorite spots, scenery doesn’t get much better, it’s convenient, and it’s always nice falling asleep to the sound of the waterfall. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Waterfall camping close to CLT

We recently stayed at this beautiful Hipcamp site with three families (kids ages 4 to 10), and it was an incredible experience for everyone! The location is stunning—nestled right along a river with large, flat rocks that are perfect for wading, exploring, or just lounging by the water. The waterfall is amazing!!! There’s a great mix of shade and sun, and the sand made a perfect spot for the kids to play. We loved the setup for cooking and hanging out—it felt like a little beach picnic right in the woods. The kids especially loved visiting and feeding the goats and chickens. It was such a unique and memorable part of the trip! The animals were friendly, and the host was kind enough to let the children interact with them up close, which made it feel like a mini farm adventure. This site had everything we needed: plenty of space for tents, nearby nature to explore, and a clean porta john to use. Everyone—kids and adults alike—left with smiles and great memories. We’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to White Stone Forge & Farm

We had a wonderful time camping. Bathroom facilities were convenient and nice. Kids loved skipping rocks on the pond. And of course meeting all the goats and Oliver the donkey was the highlight. All 3 kids said they wanted to go back!

Weekend Trip to Neal Creek Camping Sites

Tent camping was great on the property, we stayed at campsite 2, plenty of space and flat land. Very nice that they had firewood available on the site. Also used the swing and picnic table. It was very nice to have a working toilet and water available. Great for just hanging out with the family and relaxing, private enough, not a lot of stuff for kids to explore, but close enough that we were to Kings Mountain Park. Very clean, had no problems.

Dart board was ours but the site was perfect for it

Weekend Trip to Tails and Trails

Our weekend stay on this wonderfully cared for property was just what the Dr ordered to give us perfect peace, sanguine solitude, and magical moments. The site held every comfort we found have asked for and more and Jeremy was an incredibly kind, responsive and professional host. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to The Farm at Long Creek

Great isolated location. Frogs and other night critters sing you to sleep. Tent pad is excellent! Be sure to check out the town of Gold Hill.

3 nights at Norman Farms

Rebecca had ample room for us and we were able to look at their fruit orchard and greenhouse while we were there. Very quiet. And our pets were welcome.

Weekend Trip to Lucky Farms Under the Stars

Such a fun impromptu camping trip! This is a little slice of country Heaven. Open field of crops, campsites are along the tree line with lit up walking trails and, my kids’ favorite of all, A ROPE SWING. They had an absolute blast. Hosts were very nice and welcoming!

Weekend Trip to Neal Creek Camping Sites

This was the perfect site! Beautiful, secluded enough but not far away from civilization. There’s a small building between both camp sites so you can’t hear/see the other group. The trains were a little loud at night but if you’re tired or a heavy sleeper, you should be fine! We will absolutely be coming back!

Weekend Trip to Lucky Farms Under the Stars

Very friendly and helpful host. Wonderful pitch between the trees with lots of space. Nice short trail through the forest.

2 nights at The Farm at Long Creek

This was our 4th trip to this site and it feels like it gets better each time. The new updates they've made are fantastic and make for such a great experience. Check them out!!

Old Whitney camp

1 site · RV2 acres · Badin, NC

Private camp surrounded by pines, less than a mile from nearest boat ramp.. Level, room for 3 tents, or a camper and a tent….part of the camp will always be in shade. This camp would be best enjoyed with a kayak, canoe, or some other water vessel that could be launched nearby. This is not waterfront but it is very close and convenient. That said, it could also be enjoyed by someone who just wants to be away from the city and enjoy the stars, it is a relatively dark sky out there.

Waterfall camping close to CLT

1 site · RV, Tent2 acres · Bessemer City, NC

My Neighbor has started his own Campsite, "The Swimming Hole". If mine is booked up and you still want to camp, look him up. His is better suited for small groups but has much more privacy. We have a new road to the campsite; you can now drive down with two-wheel drive vehicle or RV down and park near your tent! There is plenty of soft sand to set up one tent or ten tents; large groups are welcome for an extra fee. A Porta-Potty is available at the campsite. Swimming is usually possible at the base of the falls; however, large amounts of rain can change conditions and make it unusable. I should also add, this is not a completely private campsite deep in the woods. The camp is visible from a shared driveway, and my residence is up a hill that overlooks the area. Also, I do not own the land on the other side of the stream. Occasionally, the owners of that land will spend a weekend afternoon enjoying the waterfall view also. Still much quieter and more private than a regular campground. Glamping tents and additional camping tents are available through a local company. Look in the pictures for the tent with red, white, and blue balloons. Message me for details. Close to US National Whitewater Center (mountain biking, whitewater rafting, kayaking), Kings Mountain National Military Park (Horseback riding and history), Crowders Mountain (Hiking), 3 miles off of I-85 and US-321 for people passing through.

Welcome to Creekside FarmCreekside Farm is a place where you can slow down and enjoy things you might not normally notice.We are glad you are Here.We invite you to sit back, take your shoes off, and breathe deeply as you read this – slowly.Creekside is very special place where you, and those important to you can unplug and gently "be" with eachother.My wife Beth and I fell in love with this property because it has a unique way of calling us out of our busy livesand into a meaningful space of connection with our senses, each other and those we care about. We hope youhave the chance to experience this on your visit.In my work as a leadership consultant and executive coach I've had the opportunity to find a few "bestpractices" for a meaningful experience of life. I offer them to you below should you want to try them out duringyour visit. I promise they will impact your time here - and your time when you leave here - tremendously:Being and DoingSometimes it’s just fine to sit down and not do anything.Experience and CaptureSometimes you don’t need to capture an experience, just experience it.Quality and QuantitySometimes quality of life is more satisfying than quantity of life. Maybe less is more.Sensing and ThinkingSometimes thinking is overrated. Sitting still and sensing what is right in front of us can be eye-opening.Silence and NoiseSometimes saying nothing says everything. Turning off the phones and devices and listening to the nature’ssounds can further awaken and resensitize us.Below you will find information about this special place. It includes invitations, requests and details about howthings work here at the farm.We invite you...1. To use your time here to nourish your Self, Spirit and Body.

Camping near Charlotte guide

Overview

Charlotte, the largest city in North Carolina, sits on the state's southern border. Expect humid temperatures in the high 80s from June to September. Spring and fall months are quite comfortable, though. Head about 45 minutes north on I-77 to reach Lake Norman State Park. Cast a line and fish for bluegill, perch, catfish and more in the titular lake. There's a swimming area around the park's south region as well. The park's Itusi Trails are particularly popular for mountain biking. If you're looking for a biking challenge, hit the demanding Laurel Loop. Nature lovers might want to swing southeast and check out the McDowell Nature Center and Preserve. This green area is on the shores of Lake Wylie. The nature preserve's McDowell Campground holds 56 campsites, including an RV park with full hookups. Camping with a large group? You can even rent the entirety of the 14-acre Copperhead Island overnight! Travel a bit east of Charlotte to find the Uwharrie National Forest. Pan for gold, hike the remote Uwharrie Trail, or fish in Badin Lake. If you own horses, don't miss the Canebrake Horse Camp. Here you can take your equine friends out on 38 miles of horse trails.
