Very secluded 30/ 50 amp site among beautiful Pecan tree
You will enjoy nature when you stay here at Pecan Meadows! The mornings are peaceful with the sounds of birds and possible sights of deer. The dark night skies with the bright stars will amaze you....we can't decide which is better!
The site has a large gravel pad that is easy to back into. We provide 2 Adirondack chairs, a picnic table, a fire pit and lights in the trees.
We do NOT allow tent only renting since there is no bathhouse facilities.

The state park also has a FREE boat launching area. Also you can keep your trailered boat with you on the property... FOR NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE.

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!

My Neighbor has started his own Campsite, "The Swimming Hole". If mine is booked and you still want to camp, look him up. He is better suited for small groups and has more privacy.
Easy drive right to the campsite
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, the weather can change conditions and make it unusable.
I should also add that this is not completely private. 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 also end a weekend afternoon enjoying the waterfall view
Still much quieter and more private than a regular campground.
Close to the U.S. 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.

We loved camping there, the woods by the creek was a peaceful place to set up the tents and hammocks to sleep. The water was a huge hit for the kids and even for the adults.
The only improvements I think would be good is a more stable fire grill. And the toilet situation was a little unique and not a big hit.
Overall lovely time and would return!

Pulling up, I thought we got scammed, I was like, “there’s no way there’s a waterfall here”, there is.
It’s beautiful and natural white noise. Lots of nature and wildlife around, saw some pretty cool owls and hawks.
Host was kind, has a cool history here.
We went to the white water rafting center for some live music (40min drive)

Great place to stay for a few nights! The bed was comfortable and tent was cozy and dry on some very rainy days. Made for a great alternative to our usual tent camping since we anticipated the weather wouldn’t cooperate. Felt very private but is a bit of a hike back and when we arrived, the lights weren’t lit so it was a bit hard to see and find our way back. Aside from that, was perfect!

This was our 2nd Annual Family Camp-Out on Scott's beautiful site. We absolutely love it here. And this year, the fish were hungry. As the grandmother of my clan, it's an absolute joy to watch my family fish, hunt rocks, roast marshmallows, & just interact out in nature. I couldn't ask for a better place for my family to gather & I'm already excited for next year.

Site 1 had an unobstructed view of the open meadow that sloped down to the river that was hidden beyond the trees. This Hipcamp was a great place to relax and do nothing because of its remote location in between towns and its distance from most anything. We didn’t use the river because the rains had the water level higher than we expected and the folks immediately across the river seemed to be having some kind of substantial multi tent gathering.

1 night at Tails and Trails
My husband and I booked this location for a night stay before heading to the Uwharrie National Forest. A few pros, I loved the setup, double deck, the tent was roomie (once inside, I’m 6’2 so getting in and out was a little tricky with the ropes right at your face), a very wooden walk to the site(not onsite parking as stated, you are walking about 470’ ft to the campsite (bring a wagon if you have a lot of “stuff”), the view in front of the spot was beautiful! Now for the cons, I want to be as kind as possible when stating the doggie daycare was a bit interrupting our nature (peaceful) getaway. If you’re not used to dogs barking, you will hear them at the tent site . The bathroom has no light and when we arrived, there was enough TP for one bathroom trip(thankfully we had backup). The door to the bathroom was tricky / very hard to open. I was a little upset when I noticed the hammock chairs were no longer part of the setup. I was ready to relax in the swings, my husband was going to set up my hammock but there was only one hook at the old swing site. Again, these are our cons. The pros did outweigh the cons and we were thankful for our stay. It did storm the night we stayed, the tent had a very very small leak at the top so thankfully nothing happened during the rain storm and we stayed dried and safe. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

While walking our dog we got to see guinea fowl, horses, chickens, turkeys, lots of wild birds Definitely would stay again in the area, host was great!
