Welcome to Camp Moondog! Camp Moondog is a 36-acre forested retreat in beautiful Greenville, South Carolina, featuring two private campsites thoughtfully tucked into the woods. Flanked on both sides by the Saluda River—with nearly half a mile of river frontage—our property is a must-book for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and anyone craving a peaceful getaway filled with woods, water, and fresh air. Just across the river (or a quick 5-minute drive) is Dolly Cooper Park, a favorite for disc-golf enthusiasts and families exploring the local trails. Even better, Camp Moondog sits only 10 minutes from world-renowned Downtown Greenville—famous for its incredible restaurants, festivals, boutique shopping, and lively social scene. Here, you can enjoy an “off-the-grid” experience without giving up convenience: food delivery is still just a tap away, and last-minute essentials are an easy drive. At Camp Moondog, our philosophy is simple: provide a carefree, clean, and natural environment for a relaxing camping experience. If we’re available, we’re happy to use our ATVs to help transport your gear to any of the campsites—just give us at least a day’s notice so we can plan to meet you. Because the property naturally offers ample deadfall for firewood, we do not provide or sell pre-packaged bundles. Please keep this in mind if there has been recent rainfall, as the downed wood may be damp. We look forward to welcoming you to Camp Moondog. Happy Trails! ~ Mike & Kelly

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.

Nestle into your own corner of our 8 acres. Kick back in a forest setting and leave the rest behind. Wander the nature path. Sit on the screened-in porch or by the crackling firepit, take an outdoor shower, or soak in the roomy spa. Enjoy rural foothills living in Western NC, conveniently located near Hickory, Morganton, Valdese, and Lenoir. There are great parks and lakes to explore, with a boat launch just 4 miles away. Check out a local winery or brewery, and take a short drive to the breathtaking Blue Ridge Parkway. The Perch tiny treehouse is a custom-built tiny house (just under 400 square feet), situated in a mixed forest. It’s perfect for a couple or cozy for a small family. The modern design features whimsical, storybook touches—like stumbling across Granny’s cottage in the woods, but way cooler. The space offers a screened-in porch with dining for four, plus a two-seater bar top built around a big pine through the deck. Cook up a tasty meal in the full kitchen or on the charcoal grill. Wander along our little nature path through the forest. Hammock swings are available creekside. Enjoy a soak in your private hot tub, then sink into the daybed, turn on the fireplace, borrow a book from our mini library, or watch a movie. The Perch has its own dedicated high-speed internet for our guests.
