We loved camping on Chris’s land. He actually came out to greet us after we got set up & he’s a very nice guy. The land is beautiful & right across from the Eldorado Outpost Store where you can get your OHV pass & pretty much anything else you may need on your trip.

Great place to stay, very quiet. I dont think there was a day I didn't see at least one deer. The driveway up is worth the peace and quiet. I was never bothered by anyone and if I needed to receive a package there was a convenient storage box. Close to stores and restaurants.

Great private area with lots of room to explore and to let my dogs off leash. Neighbors are lovely, they gave me fresh eggs! Wildlife is active and you never know what you will find. Absolutely enjoy sitting outside when the sun is setting and watching the lightning bugs!

Weekend Trip to Basecamp_outdoors
I brought my friend for his first glamping experience to Basecamp_outdoors and it couldn’t have been better!
There is every amenity here to make you feel at home. A full kitchen, hot shower, clean beautiful spacious tent with no bugs, a comfortable bed, a covered kitchen, an out house, a porch and a covered eating area. Plus lighting and heating and cooling.
Everything is an easy unload from where you park your cars.
Plus, there is an additional area down the path where there is a fire platform. Because it was hot, we skipped the fire and used it more as an extra patio and outdoor room.
We spent a lot of time there immersed in the beauty of the forest and sky and listening to the birds and music.
The main site is located nearer to the road and we hung a couple of tapestries in the lower eating area for a little extra privacy.
The host was very thorough in giving us directions and sending a video to show us how to turn on and use everything.
He also checked on us via text through the app to make sure we had everything we needed.
It was easily accessible and there is plenty to do in the area as far as hiking and water features.
If you’re considering this place, you should book it, I can’t imagine being able to find one better!

We visit uwharrie a few times a year and have for years now, and this was by far the best stay we’ve had up there.. the camping spot can be seen from the road, but it’s several hundred feet back to the wood line. All grass and no dust to deal with like you would have if you were staying in the national forest itself. Quiet and just a Short drive to the trailheads and El Dorado outpost is directly across from where the camping spot is at.. we had a great time and will stay there from now on
