Weekend Trip to Neal Creek Camping Sites

Great quiet spot not far from the interstate. Lots of room and nicely distanced from the other camp location. Cell service exceptional.

Weekend Trip to Golden Spot

Really nice spot for solo campers and large groups alike. My dogs were very happy with the space to roam. Convenient location to historic Gold Hill and hiking at Uwharrie and the Eagle Point Nature Preserve.

Weekend Trip to Golden Spot

Awesome! Paul has a beautiful property! Water & electric for our 34 ft class A was perfect. We were also pulling our jeep. Plenty of room to disconnect & hookup. Paul was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommended

Weekend Trip to Golden Spot

We loved Paul's spot! He is attentive and welcoming host. Beautiful countryside and great amenities. We really enjoyed the pavilion available. We'll be back!

1 night at Waterfall camping close to CLT

Great views! Went as a solo female camper and overall felt safe. The host was really nice and occasionally would see the neighbors on the other side of the waterfall. They provided firestarters, hatchet, sticks and other useful things I didn't expect. I saw a beaver wandering around a couple of times. Would visit again!

2 nights at Waterfall camping close to CLT

Always one of my favorite spots, scenery doesn’t get much better, it’s convenient, and it’s always nice falling asleep to the sound of the waterfall. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Waterfall camping close to CLT

We recently stayed at this beautiful Hipcamp site with three families (kids ages 4 to 10), and it was an incredible experience for everyone! The location is stunning—nestled right along a river with large, flat rocks that are perfect for wading, exploring, or just lounging by the water. The waterfall is amazing!!! There’s a great mix of shade and sun, and the sand made a perfect spot for the kids to play. We loved the setup for cooking and hanging out—it felt like a little beach picnic right in the woods. The kids especially loved visiting and feeding the goats and chickens. It was such a unique and memorable part of the trip! The animals were friendly, and the host was kind enough to let the children interact with them up close, which made it feel like a mini farm adventure. This site had everything we needed: plenty of space for tents, nearby nature to explore, and a clean porta john to use. Everyone—kids and adults alike—left with smiles and great memories. We’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Neal Creek Camping Sites

Tent camping was great on the property, we stayed at campsite 2, plenty of space and flat land. Very nice that they had firewood available on the site. Also used the swing and picnic table. It was very nice to have a working toilet and water available. Great for just hanging out with the family and relaxing, private enough, not a lot of stuff for kids to explore, but close enough that we were to Kings Mountain Park. Very clean, had no problems.

Weekend Trip to Neal Creek Camping Sites

This was the perfect site! Beautiful, secluded enough but not far away from civilization. There’s a small building between both camp sites so you can’t hear/see the other group. The trains were a little loud at night but if you’re tired or a heavy sleeper, you should be fine! We will absolutely be coming back!

1 night at Neal Creek Camping Sites

Exactly as advertised. Loved the dry firewood and swing. Toilet was a bit unstable but nice touch. Would stay again!

3 nights at Waterfall camping close to CLT

Super amazing and just peaceful. Exactly what my family needed. There is a family living near by, and they own a little section of the sand bar so you have to stay to the one side. We still had a blast and you stl have access to the waterfall, but they were down there the majority of the time we were there so less “private” yet still peaceful. P.s the big rock the cliff towards the water think the lion king had 6 water occasions curled up in the crack (easily visible!) so be very vigiliant and scout the area before letting children go off.

1 night at Neal Creek Camping Sites

This is a great location and easy to find. The rustic bathroom was clean and easy to use. I loved sitting on the swing with my morning coffee, listening to the birds and the nearby stream.

Weekend Trip to Mike's country home and land

Incredible getaway: wooded trails, great fishing, peaceful canoe, beautiful views, and the best hospitality. We rented a golf cart to explore the land a bit more and that was a great addition to our trip. We did not want to leave and we cannot wait to come back! Thanks for everything Mike!

Weekend Trip to Neal Creek Camping Sites

This is our family’s favorite spot, and we love the addition of the swinging bench.

2 nights at Neal Creek Camping Sites

We loved camping here! The creek is beautiful and our boys loved catching salamanders and crayfish. We shared the site with my father in law and we were very comfortable and spread out. The seemingly unlimited supply of firewood from the shed was amazing! There is a Dollar General 5 minutes away if you need to grab anything. It was also very nice being only 15 minutes away from all Kings Mountain has to offer. Thank you, David!

Weekend Trip to Neal Creek Camping Sites

Great spot! Beautiful, large shady area. The creek kept my kids busy and we all loved having the swing to enjoy. David is a great host! Quick to respond and takes great care of the area.

Weekend Trip to The swimming hole

My boyfriend and I loved staying on Steve's property! We loved having our own personal part of a river to fall asleep to. Whether we were lounging in our hammocks or cooking this property was so peaceful and serene yet still close enough to major stores for our inevitable walmart run. My only regret is we didn't bring fishing poles! Steve was so friendly and welcoming and we are so thankful for him and his wife's hospitality.

Weekend Trip to The swimming hole

Perfect site for primitive camping!! Falling asleep to the sounds of the creek is an excellent experience and the hosts, Steve and His Wife are very pleasant and make a mean breakfast. Definitely recommend the swimming hole !!

Weekend Trip to Waterfall camping close to CLT

Amazing time! Great host. Easy access. Going g back as soon as I can.

2 nights at Oak Creek Horse Farm

Such friendly hosts and a beautiful, bucolic setting! Really enjoyed meeting you and would definitely stay with you again! 5 stars!

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.

Private Oasis In The Forest

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!

Rosewood Farm and Agripark

100 sites · Lodging200 acres · Winnsboro, SC

Rosewood Farm and Agripark is my home. I honestly had about the most amazing childhood one could have on this very land! We hunted, fished, made mud pies and played outside for hours, as long as we were in shouting distance for supper time! I am so fortunate to be the daughter of two amazing parents, who had a dream to build a working farm from nothing more than a logging trail in the woods. They built a 3 story, 10,000 square foot house by themselves- while raising a family! We have 200 acres of farmland that features rolling hills, multiple ponds, creeks, farm animals, show horses and countless wildlife viewing opportunities. Wild turkey and deer roam free all over the farm, coveys of dove fly out from the pastures and trails, and coyotes howl in the night. Listen to the frogs croaking, crickets chirping and whipporwhills calling every evening under a magical blanket of stars. Take a nature hike through the trails that meander through the woods around the park. Our newest venture is to offer primitive camping and some cabin rentals around our 60 acre Agripark! For those wanting to step it up a notch, we have erected a large concrete floor, covered event barn (for parties, family reunions, weddings, cowboy church, etc..,) and also a huge petting zoo barn with an area behind it for pony rides and 4-h/FFA functions. Also, a greenhouse is being erected next, that will teach people about aquaponics and hydroponics! Many things are on the immediate horizon for this special property. While we are under heavy construction at the moment in some areas of the park, many amenities are currently available. Why not unplug from the daily grind and spend time with those that matter most? My goal is to make this land as magical for your family as it has been for mine!
