Stories from the community

1 night at Lakeside Retreat

We missed our stay entirely unfortunately— but it looks like the perfect staycation spot for us. Will try again soon!

Weekend Trip to Triple J Farm and Campground

The thing that stood out the most was how the hosts were very attentive and went out of there way to make us feel welcome on several occasions. They are relatively new to being camp hosts and still ironing out a few things but I would definitely camp there again.

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!

3 nights at Adin`s river cabin

Great little cabin for a quick get away. Adin was super helpful.

3 nights at Starlight Hills

Such a gem! We had so much fun and all went so smooth with all the amenities of the site. Only addition would have been a bit of fire cooking equipment. We were perfectly comfortable at night over our Fourth of July trip. Would def recommend and return!

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 Lakeside Retreat

This place felt like an oasis. The site was beautiful and also easy to find. We felt completely secluded and our dog really enjoyed the room to run! The host was very nice and responded quickly when we reached out. Would def recommend and we hope to visit again.

Weekend Trip to Lake Lookout Campground

The campsites were absolutely wonderful, offering a serene and peaceful atmosphere. I truly enjoyed the tranquility they provided, making my stay incredibly relaxing. I will definitely be booking again for another escape.

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 Starlight Hills

Great experience... beautiful area... definitely would come back

Weekend Trip to Starlight Hills

Nice place and little bit make ground smooth.. so it will be more confortabile. Over all very nice place and good to stay. Love it.

Weekend Trip to Starlight Hills

I loved that the showers had hot water! They also had portapotties available and firewood for sale. Clean drinking water was available. The primitive sites had plenty of trees for setting up hammocks but be wary of brining any tents larger then a 10'x10' space.

Weekend Trip to Starlight Hills

We had an incredible stay at this campground! The site offered fresh water, beautiful outdoor showers, and absolutely stunning views. Highly recommend!

3 nights at Tellurian Family Campground

Nice layout and beautiful views!!!! We had a great time and my fur babies loved the river!!!

Weekend Trip to Tellurian Family Campground

Stayed the weekend on the Buddy Sites 6 & 7 with 7 kids and 2 adults... what a fantastic set-up! The view is spectacular, river access further than I like, but manageable. Exceptional bathhouse. Wonderful getaway for some band kids before marching season starts. Thank you so much for having us, .We hope to come back someday ❤️🎶 #NLHS #BandofKnights

Weekend Trip to Tellurian Family Campground

We loved camping at Tellurian! The campsites are very nice and the mountain views are beautiful. The bathhouse is also clean and convenient. We loved the swimming hole and enjoyed spending the day at the river. I would highly recommend this quiet and peaceful spot.

Private Oasis In The Forest

3 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents5 acres · Irwin, SC

Quite undisturbed forest for 1/2 a century, used for duck hunting in the previous owners family for decades. I’ve started building a small cabin that’s unfinished hopefully completing in the coming years. Fishing pond and small seasonal creek flows after lots of rain. Excited to share it with others!

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.

Tellurian Family Campground

7 sites · RVs, Tents93 acres · Casar, NC

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. Tellurian Family Campground tel·lu·ri·an [təˈlo͝orēən] ADJECTIVE: of or inhabiting the earth. NOUN: an inhabitant of the earth.

Camp Winnie

1 site · RV, Tent10 acres · Clover, SC

Camp Winnie at the Sanctuary Pond Looking for a peaceful place to unplug, unwind, and wake up to the sound of frogs, birds, and maybe even the distant baa of a rescued sheep? Welcome to Camp Winnie at the Sanctuary Pond, a one-of-a-kind campsite tucked away on our working animal rescue and sanctuary. Located on the back edge of our property, your campsite is nestled near a serene pond and surrounded by woods, wide skies, and the calming energy of animals living their best second-chance lives. Accessible by a short trail (you’ll feel like you’re discovering a secret spot), the site is private, quiet, and ideal for tent camping or small camper setups. While the campsite is separate from the sanctuary area to ensure animal comfort and privacy, guests are welcome to visit with the animals during designated times—if we're around to help guide and supervise. Come say hello to our friendly pigs, sheep, goats, and the occasional chatty chicken. Every animal here has a rescue story, and we love to share them. We’re a small, family-run sanctuary, so things are rustic but full of love. You’ll have a fire pit, a picnic table, and lots of stars overhead. We ask that guests be respectful of the animals, our land, and the peaceful vibe we work hard to cultivate here. Whether you're here to camp, connect with nature, or meet some very special animal residents, we can't wait to welcome you to Camp Winnie.
