Weekend Trip to Lucky Farms Under the Stars

It was a last minute trip for me and Taylor was very quick to respond assuring me there was availability. Not a far drive from Charlotte for a one night get away and what a peaceful place. An added bonus was cell phone coverage allowing me to pick up some tunes from my phone! This is great place for going alone or with a family!

1 night at The swimming hole

Tent camping on Steve’s land was fun! My kids first time and wasn’t sure they would like it, but they loved it. We will definitely be back!

1 night at Waterfall camping close to CLT

A real cool place in the middle of an urban setting, who would’ve known that you could have a waterfall and climbing rocks and a great place to set up your tent. Of course you hear traffic because it is in the city, but my goodness it was great.

Weekend Trip to Waterfall camping close to CLT

My family and I loved the camp site. It was amazing! Great waterfall! We will definitely be coming back!

Weekend Trip to Tails and Trails

The place was well maintained and was very comfortable. Bring a wagon, but getting gear from car to tent is worth the short, semi-hilly hike down the trail. Jeremy was a fantastic host and was great with communication. Our dog also really loved it there! Very relaxing and peaceful, although we could hear fireworks both nights from the race track. Our dog doesn't care or react to the sound of fireworks, but some may so wanted to add that.

Weekend Trip to Private Oasis In The Forest

My sons ans I had an amazing time. I was concerned about the possibility of thunderstorms so Alex told us to feel free to use the cabin and we did. We caught lots of blue gill. The cooking area is well equipped. I would highly recommend checking out Alex's property. We cant wait to go back.

Weekend Trip to The swimming hole

Great little secluded spot right in Charlotte's backyard, easy to get to. Great for a little retreat as a couple. We didn't swim, but the dog did and she loved it. Will definitely keep this spot in mind for future trips!

Weekend Trip to Waterfall camping close to CLT

Almost hate to leave a review because i don’t want to share this place!! The owner and property are absolutely amazing!!

1 night at Hidden CLT Wilderness

Beautiful stay will be back again! Love how you just drive up and don’t expect it ❤️

1 night at Waterfall camping close to CLT

Amazing spot. Water was cool and refreshing. Perfect amount of shade from the trees. Great seating with picnic table and swings. Family across the river there for a lot of the time, so not completely private.

1 night at Lucky Farms Under the Stars

Amazing camp site with a pinic table and lit trails that come alive at night.

1 night at Waterfall camping close to CLT

Magical place easily one of the best Hipcamps. We have been to. its summer time would recommend Bugspray but overall nothing too crazy. 10/10 will be back with the family

Weekend Trip to Lucky Farms Under the Stars

I really liked my camp site, it was quiet and private. It was in the shade and out of the sun, had a picnic table and room for tents. They even let me use their hose for water to shower. It was a great time and i enjoyed it, only about 10 miles from all the stores.

Weekend Trip to Tails and Trails

My second time there. Everything was as expected and wonderful.

Weekend Trip to Private Oasis In The Forest

Really pretty and quiet! We had a really good time even though it was the hottest it’s been this year so far. It was over 90° the whole time we were there so it was HOT but we still had an awesome time! Definitely recommend having a thermacell and bug spray as you ARE in the woods. There were a ton of flies but having chargeable fans definitely helped deter them away from us! We cooked over the fires had tons of laughs and such an awesome time! The road in is bumpy but we didn’t have any trouble getting in or out! The ground is full of quartz which is so pretty to look at but if you’re sleeping on the ground I would recommend a thick sleeping pad or cots! We had cots so it didn’t bother us at all!

Weekend Trip to Cj’s Suburban Oasis

Great campsite! The instructions were super clear and easy to follow. It felt private although you could see the road through the trees, but there wasn’t much traffic or noise. The fire pit was filled with kindling and there was extra wood stacked for our use. The tent area was a bit uneven and wet since it’s mostly bark, and in a shady area, so it didn’t have a chance to dry out after the rain. Overall, would book again!

Weekend Trip to Dennis & Melissa's Hidden Creek

We loved staying here! If you’re looking for a beautiful, secluded area that is sure to be quiet, this is the place for you. Spacious lots with the amenities you want, it’s a great site to get away for a few days.

Weekend Trip to The swimming hole

This spot was exactly what I've been looking for on Hipcamp - a beautiful secluded location that is easy to access. Parking was close enough to be convenient but far enough to forget the car was there. I strive to pass my love of the outdoors to my 4 year old and sites like this go a long way. Firefly light show before bed then falling asleep to the sound of the water can't be beat.

4 nights at Sugar Creek

Franklin was amazing. He came right out when we arrived and was giving us advice on where the safest spots were on the property as there were large trees and we were expecting a significant storm. Would recommend to anyone

1 night at Hidden CLT Wilderness

Perfect for a trip to Charlotte (~30min away) w/ my partner and dog! The bed in the camper was comfy, bathroom/shower/kitchen was clean, and the site itself was very cute! The host was kind enough to set up the fire pit (after the rain) for us while we stepped out, and was very easy to reach & accommodating! I appreciated that there was a tree tether by the fire pit for my curious dog, which made it so we could enjoy our time by the fire without having to hold her leash. The host also left bottled water which we also appreciated being on the go! It’s the small things that all add up :)

Waterfall camping close to CLT

1 site · RV, Tent2 acres · Bessemer City, NC

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.

Quite undisturbed forest for 1/2 a century, used for duck hunting in the previous owners family for decades.
