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.

Tellurian Family Campground offers conveniently located spacious travel trailer, camper, RV and tent camp sites with incredible views and access to a pristine mountain river. The property consists of 93 acres and 2780 feet (1⁄2 mile) of river frontage on the First Broad River. The First Broad River offers canoeing, kayaking, tubing, and fishing. Smallmouth and freshwater sunfishing is incredible on this stretch of the river and there are also opportunities for mountain river catfish.
Tellurian’s scenic location offers stunning vista views of the surrounding countryside, sprawling views of the South Mountain and Cherry Mountain ranges, as well as long range views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The sunsets are amazing and the star lit skies are uninhibited by city lights. One of the few lights that can be seen at night lights up a steeple silhouetted against the mountain ridges. It’s truly a peaceful site.
Tellurian is centrally located between Charlotte NC, Asheville NC, and Spartanburg SC in the small town of Casar, NC. We are located in a rural setting in the foothills on the edge of the South Mountains Range, a branch of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Thank you for checking out our place! We are Jud and Amanda Wortman. We have three children – Emma Grace and Baxter (twins) and Elena Jo. As a family, we enjoy canoeing, kayaking and camping. We live 9 miles from Tellurian on a family farm.
We have always enjoyed quiet secluded campsites, river floats and sitting by the river. After years of looking all over the mountains for a river property we could call our own, our favorite spot on the river came up for sale. It just so happened it was nearly halfway between where we both grew up. After many sleepless nights worrying if we could succeed or not (it was much larger than properties we had been looking for), we bought it! Our favorite spot on the river was virtually inaccessible by any way other than floating. But after hundreds of hours of hard work, we think we have developed a place where others too can enjoy the things we do about the property. We dream big and Tellurian remains a work in progress, but we feel we have created a place where folks can enjoy the peacefulness of nature, the river and incredible views.
Naming our campground proved to be one of the most challenging tasks throughout the process of developing it. After many ideas and brainstorming sessions as a family, we decided to go with Tellurian. We know it’s a bit different; that’s what we like about it. We think our place stands out and, after visiting Tellurian, we think you’ll agree it does too.

My property consists of a ridge running east to west with the access road running along the south border. the land slopes up to the ridge for about 300 feet, and then down to the river for about 800 feet. The south side of the ridge has a small pond close to the road. The rest is pasture, and an orchard and small vineyard. The north side of the ridge is old growth timber, and shady and cool. The two cabins are along the river. One is perched on a ridge over looking the river and the other is right on the river. The swimming hole is 30 feet from the lower cabin. There is room for a couple campsites along the river also. The south side of the ridge was a cotton farm decades ago, but was covered in timber when I bought it 12 years ago. The north side has been in timber for the known history of the property.

What an awesome place to camp. We have a 26 foot camper and we had no trouble getting in or out. Having the lake all to ourselves. Our dogs loved it. They had the run of the place. Its a nice walk around the pond. My husband caught a couple of really nice bass, and some blue gils. Fishing was great, so much fun. There is a little noise pollution, with main roads around but you cant see any of that. And most of it ends at 5pm quitting time.Neil is a great host. He accommodated us with our large camper by making side driveways so we wouldn't hit any overhanging limbs I would recommend Lakeside retreat. We will be back

When we are able to get away, we like the privacy to just relax and not worry about messing other people's plans up and campsite did not disappoint. Tucked in all by itself we felt like we were the only people for a hundred miles. Still close enough to a town in any direction to not feel like the end of the world if you forgot something. We had a blast while we were there the only problem was...... we didnt stay longer! Would def recommend and love to come back!

For a last minute decision, this campsite went well beyond my wildest expectations. We got in really late and Jeanette was a huge help getting us settled. We decided to extend our stay the next day and she was very accommodating. The campground is nice and quiet with a really nice bathhouse. The rain is keeping us from doing as much as we wanted, but there’s a lovely pool and they have plenty of activities planned for those looking for a welcoming site that feels like home. We will plan on coming back in the future!

10/10 night. Hands down THE best camping experience ever. This place had everything you need as a foundation for camping. My son probably caught 30+ fish day one. It's clean, it's spacious, it has both a propane grill and a charcoal grill and not to mention a huge firepit with grates if you choose to cook on an open flame. Marshmallows forks, picnic table, two large swings, sandy ground for us tent sleepers and an added Porta John which I personally appreciated. Scott is amazing. The waterfall is fantastic (yes, go ahead and slide down). Absolutely the best.

Camping here is very private, and relatively quiet. Amenities were also nice. Bathroom was supplied will all the necessities, and the solar lights were nice and cozy. Everything about the site was as described.
The creek trail is an easy short ‘hike’. Just be careful with the pine needles, as they’re a bit slippery, and watch for little tree stumps. We saw some minnows, tadpoles, a toad, and a small snake. (Dekays brown snake, harmless!) According to my Garmin, our whole walk including walking to, down the creek, and back to camp, was about 1.25 miles. We did walk quite a far ways down the creek looking for wildlife though.
Now., sound wise. There’s about 5-10 dogs that started barking at around 4am and kept barking for about 45m. They were loud enough to wake up me and my partner, who is a pretty heavy sleeper. Somebody nearby started practicing their aim at 8am, and continued for over an hour. And there’s some persistent, but distant, road noise. During the day, it was very quiet.
Overall, I think this is about as private and peaceful as you’re going to find within an hour of Asheville. We were looking for something nearby so we could get to camp after work on Friday, and this fit the bill perfectly.
