Our goal is to provide a genuine secluded camping experience immersed in nature in a mountainous forest with privacy and well spaced out, secluded

viewing the stars. We offer trails through natural wooded habitat with hidden gems of nature.
Wildlife viewing throughout. There are feed locations to increase viewing opportunities.
A creek on the property is lovely
for walking.
Centered between Charlotte and Asheville we are within your reach!

Waterfall camping close to CLT
1 site · RV, Tent2 acres · Bessemer City, Gaston
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.

Tellurian Family Campground
7 sites · RVs, Tents93 acres · Casar, Cleveland
For more information, visit our website at www.telluriancampground.com
Tellurian Family Campground offers conveniently located spacious travel trailer, camper, RV and tent camp sites with incredible views and access to a pristine mountain river. The property consists of 93 acres and 2780 feet (1⁄2 mile) of river frontage on the First Broad River. The First Broad River offers canoeing, kayaking, tubing, and fishing. Smallmouth and freshwater sunfishing is incredible on this stretch of the river and there are also opportunities for mountain river catfish.
Tellurian’s scenic location offers stunning vista views of the surrounding countryside, sprawling views of the South Mountain and Cherry Mountain ranges, as well as long range views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The sunsets are amazing and the star lit skies are uninhibited by city lights. One of the few lights that can be seen at night lights up a steeple silhouetted against the mountain ridges. It’s truly a peaceful site.
Tellurian is centrally located between Charlotte NC, Asheville NC, and Spartanburg SC in the small town of Casar, NC. We are located in a rural setting in the foothills on the edge of the South Mountains Range, a branch of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Thank you for checking out our place! We are Jud and Amanda Wortman. We have three children – Emma Grace and Baxter (twins) and Elena Jo. As a family, we enjoy canoeing, kayaking and camping. We live 9 miles from Tellurian on a family farm.
We have always enjoyed quiet secluded campsites, river floats and sitting by the river. After years of looking all over the mountains for a river property we could call our own, our favorite spot on the river came up for sale. It just so happened it was nearly halfway between where we both grew up. After many sleepless nights worrying if we could succeed or not (it was much larger than properties we had been looking for), we bought it! Our favorite spot on the river was virtually inaccessible by any way other than floating. But after hundreds of hours of hard work, we think we have developed a place where others too can enjoy the things we do about the property. We dream big and Tellurian remains a work in progress, but we feel we have created a place where folks can enjoy the peacefulness of nature, the river and incredible views.
Naming our campground proved to be one of the most challenging tasks throughout the process of developing it. After many ideas and brainstorming sessions as a family, we decided to go with Tellurian. We know it’s a bit different; that’s what we like about it. We think our place stands out and, after visiting Tellurian, we think you’ll agree it does too.

Sovereign Fireside Glampground
8 sites · Lodging, RVs6 acres · Forest City, Rutherford
Enjoy our little "garden of Eden"! Relax in a communal wood-fired hot tub or by your private fire-pit in this growing little oasis in the foothills of the NC Blue Ridge Mountains! Great hiking and adventuring nearby @ Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, Asheville & the Blue Ridge Parkway!
-
This is the third stay we have completed on our peaceful 6 acre oasis.
Sovereign Fireside Glampground currently has 7 unique stays available for guests.
For your your cooking needs we have everything you'll need in the outdoor common area kitchen, including a premium gas grill, refrigerator, and kitchen sink.
We also have power in the commons area to charge anything you bring (on your nightstand you'll also find a portable power supply lantern that also can charge phones - it should keep you charged through the weekend!).
Each site has it's own private fire-pit and hand-crafted picnic table.
The beautiful brand-new bathhouse is about 100 feet from the tent and is outfitted with flush toilets and bathroom sinks.
Our communal spa area awaits you at anytime. It includes a cedar barrel wood-fired hot tub, outdoor shower (no screening), and cold plunge tub. Be aware that the since the hot-tub is wood-fired, it heats the old fashioned way in about 2-3 hours. The cedar & smoke smell is SO worth the wait!
Please note that since the outdoor spa area is a communal area, bathing suits are required. :)
Enjoy visiting with our chickens and ducks, who often free-range around the property.
While you have plenty of space to yourselves, be aware that this property has MULTIPLE glamping sites. Expect the privacy of a normal campground, where you have your own space but other sites and the "caretaker residence" are within view.
We live in the house at the front of the property, the glamping sites are in the 6 acres behind the house.
You're more than welcome to bring your bikes, lawn games and other things you'd like to do.
Outside of our land the town and surrounding areas provide many activities for you to do.
Hidden gem small-town charm in Forest City & Rutherfordton, as well as everything you could possibly need only 8 mins away (Starbucks, Walmart, Aldi, the works)! For some local fun, sip a latte at Small Town Coffee Roasters, treat yourself at Pie Safe Bakery, bike the Thermal Belt Trail, hike the Purple Martin Greenway, play pinball at Carolina Arcade, or enjoy a steak at Copper Penny Grill.
Farther out, you can zip-line through the forest at Lake Lure, float/kayak the Rocky Broad river, rock-climb or hike to Chimney Rock, or tour many award-winning vineyards and wineries (some just minutes away).
My husband and I (and our 5 children) will be on site living at the main house most of the time as well as working around the land.
Our goal with this land is to create a place that embodies the things that we've found to truly make us happy and allow a better lives for ourselves.
Like getting back to nature, living off the land, meditation, and inner healing. Eating whole real foods. Exercising and moving our bodies. Nourishing ourselves. And having a space to allow for community and connection.
Our vision started a few years ago when my husband Aaron and I both shared an image of a new world we wanted to create - one filled with self-sufficient, sustainable communities where people live more simply and love each other.
In 2014 we left our "normal" lives, hand-built a 100% off-grid tiny home together and lived in it for 5 years. We began to eat real food and use real resources - the land, animals, rain water, compost, solar.
But as we spent more time diving into ourselves, God, business, coaches, and many other holistic practices, we realized it was time for a big change.
We now want to be able to offer experiences sharing everything we've learned about all these things and have people come try new ways of life.
When you stay with us the cool part is, you can actually see where your money is going and meet the people creating the space. A large portion of what we make is going right back into this land.
This isn't some fancy resort owned by a huge hotel chain. Although we do take serious pride in our work and go above and beyond when building.
We've been told that this is one of the most peaceful, rejuvenating, and relaxing experiences guests have ever had.
Please remember that the tent sites are off-grid and plan accordingly. Please bring everything you need to have the kind of stay you want (such as extra battery-powered fans, flashlights, etc).
Inside your tent you'll find battery & solar-powered string lights, one small battery-powered fan, and a small library of books.
Firewood available for $5 a bundle.
Please no smoking on the premises. This is strictly prohibited.
If you'd like to bring your furry friend, please send us a message request.
If you have any questions about coming to stay with us please don't hesitate to reach out and ask!
We're a Christian husband and wife team, and we're excited to host you!
-
Please park near the "guest parking" sign, in front of the house in the grass by the woods on the right. It's a short walk to your tent.
Our private residence is on the left side of the 6 acre property, so we're easily available, but you'll be able to enjoy plenty of space.
Access the communal spa any time!
-
Don't be deceived when you pull in - it looks like a normal house with a short driveway. All the magic is happening in the back. ;)
Parking is to the right of the driveway on the grass, immediately after you pull in.
-
I am easily in touch by message. We're usually hanging out around the property building up the campground (unless we tell you otherwise).

Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.
6 sites · Lodging11 acres · Black Mountain, Buncombe
The views are hypnotic and look down and out over the continental divide. Good morning sun and sunsets can be seen in the same spot. Your car is parked within feet of your deck so Car Campers and experienced campers can enjoy. Designed with campers and dogs in mind. The deck is large (384 square feet) with a tin roof. Some roofs are full size, some 2/3rds and some 1/3rd, depending on what one wants for tent size or sun. (See pictures of each site/deck) Each deck has sun and rain curtains for helping keep comfortable in normal weather. Dogs enjoy a two gate system so quests and dogs can be leash free and away from the road. All dog owners know to pick up after their pets. The human Private Porta John is cleaned weekly. Lights and electrical is 110V (3 prongs) for YOUR coffee pots, electric grills, mattress inflators, crockpots, electric blankets fans, etc. I do not provide any electrical appliances, other than counter area lighting and low level string lights so one can see the night sky. Many of my campers will "Pay it Forward" and leave coffee pots, hot plates, fans and such, so count yourself lucky to find a deck with them. I provide chairs, 5 gallons of fresh water in containers, fickle solar shower and pop up changing room along with an assortment of camping supplies from dog bowls to antimicrobial wipes. I provide various size garbage bags to manage your garbage. Your parking area is next to the deck. Black Mountain’s tasty restaurants are 4 miles away and All Trails is a great app for finding trails suited for your interest. Be respectful to the place and please be friendly to the people you meet.
Learn more about this land:
Private Glamping Decks with a view that pictures do not do justice. Private decks on a dead-end gravel road mean hopefully the sounds will only be of nature. The conveniences of electricity, porta john, water, chairs, table, roof, cleaning supplies, rain curtains, and astounding views have my Glampers coming back often. Designed with Dogs in mind with a two-gate system and no need for a leash when on the deck. Obnoxious, barking dogs are not welcome, so bring only controlled and well socialized dogs. Help me keep it dog friendly. Never block the road with a park car.

Wild Heart Refuge
5 sites · RVs, Tents30 acres · Lockhart, Cherokee
Immerse yourself in nature on this serene thirty acre property with gently rolling meadow, groves of mature hardwood trees, woods, a picturesque wooden barn, and a beautiful pond. Wake up to birdsong and fall asleep to the sounds of crickets and frogs. Stroll our woodland trail or relax at your private campsite. And while we can certainly recommend plenty of activities in the area, we don't think you'll want to leave!
Our sites are spacious and spread out so you can enjoy a roomy camping experience.
We have a fully plumbed and heated bathhouse with men's and women's restrooms and hot water showers (opened on request). Our rustic clubhouse has a full kitchen (opened for a small cleaning fee) and a large covered porch with views over the property. We have Cornhole, giant Jenga, and other games and puzzles available.
We manage the property so as to balance our ecological and wildlife habitat goals with the comfort of our campers. We mow sections our meadow on a rotating basis, ensuring that an area has been mowed for you within a few days of all advance bookings, a week at the outside. We also mow walking trails around and through the meadow. However this is not a lawn or city park - the field is mowed to 3.75 inches and does have fire ants and other critters. We generally recommend closed toed shoes and socks for your comfort, and take care when walking the property at night or if anyone has difficulty with uneven ground.
We also offer farm fresh eggs, and yoga and meditation classes in our studio at a special rate for campers!
