Once roamed by Native Americans and now farmed by the same family for over 6 generations, Harmon Creek Farm is a working farm of over 150+ acres. Peace, quiet, tranquility and privacy are overflowing along the creek, and hiking throughout the hills on the backside of the farm (and on the other side of the creek) leads to interesting and abundant flora and fauna. The stocked, spring fed pond is 'brimming" with angler challenges🎣 Our cows, pigs, sheep, donkeys, chickens, ducks, quail, and geese are all eager to meet you, as are we!

Legacy Acres Cattle Farm

4 sites · Tents74 acres · Lawndale, NC

Legacy Acres is a 74 acre cattle ranch just ten minutes outside of South Mountain State Park in Casar, North Carolina. The land was used for crops and livestock since the early 1800’s and was passed down through the same family for 4 generations. It was sold to a new family in the 1990’s and many improvements were made, such as the creation of the large pond, additional livestock pastures, the barn and farmhouse. However, as the family members became elderly, farming became the too difficult and the land fell into disuse. In the spring of 2021, our family moved from the hustle and bustle of Charlotte city life to this place we now call our home. Our dream is to bring the land back to its original purpose of farming, and to raise our family here, living off the land and sharing that joy with others. In the near future, we plan to add many more animals, such as chickens, horses, sheep and also various crops. With this will also come improvements to the campsites such as toilets, paddle boats, picnic tables, and Wifi. We look forward to sharing this special place with you. Learn more about this land:Set up your tent next to our 1.5-acre tree-lined pond on our working cattle farm, where beautiful rolling hills and rustic charm await you.

We can’t wait to share the natural beauty of this special place with you. The campsites are located on a 74-acre cattle ranch. Drinking water is provided from the well, and firewood is available to purchase. Also available to purchase or rent from the hosts are a hammock, folding table, and folding chairs.

Ranch camping near Mooresville guide

Overview

Nicknamed “Race City USA,” Mooresville, North Carolina, is home to several NASCAR and IndyCar teams, as well as the GoPro Motorplex with high-performance go-karting and world-class tracks. Relax back in the natural splendors of Mooresville on endless trails for hiking, mountain biking, OHVing, and horseback riding in Uwharrie National Forest, or hit Lake Norman for a refreshing summer swim. With full-service RV parks, glamping campsites with cabins and shower facilities, and off-grid tent sites with pit toilets, Mooresville is waiting to showcase its outdoor opportunities and diverse camping spots.

Where to go

Lake Norman

Less than 30 minutes from Mooresville lies Lake Norman, which holds the title for the biggest man-made lake in North Carolina at 32,510 acres. From swimming and fishing to jet ski rentals and chartered cruises, aquatic adventures are endless. Lake Norman also boasts a beer and wine trail map that lists local breweries and wineries dotting the area. Drive-in yurt camping near Lake Norman is another favorite option, and many of these campsites offer picnic tables, firewood, and drinking water.

Uwharrie National Forest

Covering 51,546 acres and sitting just over one hour east of Mooresville, Uwharrie National Forest offers horseback riding trails through the trees, hiking trails, mountain biking loops, and OHV trails. Camping options include pitch-your-own tent campgrounds, RV campsites, dispersed wilderness camping, and even horse-friendly campsites in select areas. There’s a 14-day limit on camping within a 30-day period.

Charlotte Surrounds

The most populated city in North Carolina, Charlotte is just 40 minutes south of Mooresville. Featuring the NASCAR hall of fame, Carowinds (a 407-acre amusement park), trampoline parks, and two mint museums, Charlotte offers campers a quick city trip with urban amenities. Stay at an RV park near Carowinds equipped with full hookups for water, electricity, and sewage, or opt for a wilderness cabin at a campsite with outdoor grills for sizzling up hot dogs.

When to go

July and August are the warmest months in Mooresville, with temperatures up to 86°F. This time of year also sees the least amount of rainfall. Mooresville averages 216 sunny days per year (above the national average at 206), so, even in colder months, sunny days can be expected. May, September, and October are also great months for visiting since they bring fewer crowds. The weather will be a little cooler but the leaves will make for a colorful hike. Although snow is seen in winter, temperatures don’t typically fall below freezing.
