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.

Troutman is a very quaint southern town very close to Mooresville, NC. It is smack in the middle of Charlotte and Hickory! So you can enjoy the mountains or the city or both from ONE LOCATION!! We are within driving distance to Lowe's Motor speedway and very close to many race teams located in Mooresville.
The downtown of Troutman is a short drive from your camp spot and there is a grocery store, drug store and many privately owned restaurants, including Italian, German and amazing fried chicken at Julia's! There is an ice cream parlor too!! Another wonderful asset to Troutman is Daveste' Vineyard where there is live music often, and of course wine tastings!

Located in Uwharrie National Forest, the New Forest features open meadows among stands of pine and mixed hardwoods. Campsites are far apart, each unique and offer the opportunity to commune with nature, and experience camping like it should be, emersed in nature with the opportunity to disconnect from the trappings of our modern, hectic world. This area is one of the richest archeological areas in the entire southeast United States. The location of the first real gold rush, and rich in folklore and bootlegging history, old homesteads and family graveyards are scattered among the hills. Old roadbeds and logging trails abound in the 800 acres of Uwharrrie National Forest directly adjacent to the New Forest Property making for miles of hiking opportunities, wildlife viewing, birdwatching. A 3/4 mile hike to the Taylor Family graveyard is marked with ribbons to guide you to one of the of the many family graveyards. *** A new fun feature for kids is the introduction of our dear friend Debbie Beasley"s art to the trails here in the New Forest. Scattered along the many trails are rocks painted by the one and only Debbie Beasley with cute fluorescent/3-D scenes of nature. Children can keep them as souvenirs from their New Forest camping adventure, or enjoy them while here then re-hide them for other children to find. ❤️ Come see for yourself. If you are looking for a modern, crowded campground this isn't it. However if you want a beautiful, rustic experience in nature, with a few basic amenities and with access to Uwharrie National Forest come see what others have enjoyed so much.

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!

10 out of 10 on the site itself. Portajohn and trash bins @ parking area. Camp is very private and feels like you’re by yourself out in nature. Plenty of useable room for 2/3 tents. Lots of dead wood nearby for burning. Directly on the creek with small waterfalls and ambient water noise. Water shoes and caution on foot placement recommended if you’re going for a swim. Cold plunge was solid, I’m sure it’s much better mid summer.
Definitely recommended for tent camping. Didn’t do enough research and showed up with a truckbed setup and the parking area is 200 something feet from the camp on the water. Still enjoyable but don’t plan on parking next to the fire. If you like some basic amenities but dislike having tons of immediate neighbors at developed campgrounds, the short walk is 100% worth the immersion.
Truly the only con, which I feel obligated but bad for mentioning, the family dog barking. For what seemed like a couple or few hours in the middle of the night. Maybe if we were sleeping directly next to the running water with a loud noise machine, instead of in the car 100 yards closer to the owners home, it wouldn’t have been such a sleep killer. Also could have been a fluke thing that rarely or never happens.
*Dog appeared friendly when out for a walk and doesn’t live anywhere near the campsite. No hate on the dog!*
Will be visiting again with fishing poles
