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.

Weekend Trip to The swimming hole

Had a great experience with my family this past weekend. For some of the it was their first experience camping and the spot was great for that. The creek was fun enough for the kids and adults to walk through and explore. The host was incredibly helpful and had firewood ready available to purchase, it was some really good sized firewood. which made settling in so much easier.

Paul’s Golden Spot Hip Camp was a favorite location for us. We had gone up to NC to visit relatives and he was in a great location for a great price. We were happy to have water and electric hookup and a dump location when we were finished with our four night stay. Gold Hill is a charming little town and has some nice hiking trails. Paul is extremely friendly and helpful. His home is amazing! We will choose his quiet and spacious location again if it’s available the next time we’re in the area.

My husband and I spent 4 days here to reconnect and center ourselves. Such a wonderful location. We Fished, swam in the river and was able to relax in a very secluded campsite BUT also close to grocery stores and a liquor store. The campsite is so secluded IF you wanted to skinny dip, you can with no one around to judge your life’s choices 😀 We were able to kayak a little ways up the river to fish but there were so many downed trees we couldn’t go far. I’ve been camping for over 10 years and this is definitely in my top 5 campsites **The walk from parking to the campsite will humble you if you over pack! A wagon would be helpful. ( the walk is worth the privacy!!)

Lucky Farms Under the Stars was an incredible stay. The land was beautiful, clean, and spacious. There were walking trails through the woods that led to other sites, the communal campfire, a rope swing, and more. My dog loved running in the grassy field. It was so quiet and peaceful, and at night there were amazing views of the stars. The bathrooms were spotless. The muffins were delicious and made a perfect breakfast treat. An animal had gotten into the first batch of muffins before we got back late, and Taylor had another batch waiting for us the next morning. An overall wonderful experience. I would recommend this place to anyone!
