Weekend Trip to Waterfall camping close to CLT

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

Weekend Trip to Serenity on the Saluda

This was me and my boyfriend’s first time camping and we absolutely loved camping on John’s property! He was very kind and helpful. Very spacious and private area. There is a lot of space and privacy between you and the RV/Tent camp site. There are a couple spots to fish and the river was so calm and peaceful. This was the perfect campsite, and even for us rookies it was the perfect amount of primitive. The outhouse was clean and well kept as well. It’s closer to the Tent Site than the RV/Tent site if you are wondering. Less than 10 minutes to town if there’s anything that you forgot to bring. We loved it and are already ready to go back!

Weekend Trip to Broken Oak Riverside Getaway

We had a great time tent camping by the river. Pet friendly place. Clean bathhouse, and owner available on site if needed. The campsite was beautiful and so peaceful.

We also loved hanging out with the sweet dog, she was the cutest! John was a great host! Thanks for sharing your peaceful property with us!! We can’t wait to come back in the summer!

1 night at Waterfall camping close to CLT

Scott had fast response time. He was very nice! Feeding the chickens and goats was such a nice little addition! I have a 9,4,3,2 year old and let me tell you they had a blast. This was our first time camping and they were so good. We initially were just gonna spend one night but since they were so good we decided to stay another night. Luckily the night after wasn’t booked because he was booked up for the rest of that month. Our car also died because I was charging my phone and Scott quickly came to help us out! 10/10 stay

1 night at Serenity on the Saluda

Great camp site by the river, secluded and peaceful. The host had everything ready for us when we arrived. It was a wonderful night stargazing and listening to the river. Thanks for sharing your wonderful spot by the river.

Weekend Trip to Broken Oak Riverside Getaway

I enjoyed camping on the river at Site #2. It was quiet and exactly what I needed. Having close access to water and a bathroom for primitive camping was really nice. I will return.

Weekend Trip to Broken Oak Riverside Getaway

Craig and Sarah’s property was an excellent spot. The location felt peaceful and secluded, with minimal noise from the highway. Surrounded by nearby wildlife, the area retained its beauty even in winter, enhanced by the comforting presence of the river. The site was clean, and the bathhouse was a great bonus. The owners were very responsive, promptly replacing a broken space heater in the bathroom, which was much appreciated. The hot water was a lifesaver during the harsh winter conditions. Additionally, the property was conveniently close to stores for emergencies, adding extra peace of mind. Overall, as a large family, we thoroughly enjoyed Craig and Sarah’s property and would gladly return, even after enduring the harsh winter event over the South during our stay.

Broken Oak Riverside Getaway

Located in the Foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Broken Oak Organics is a fully operational produce and flower farm. Full access to the campsite by vehicle. The North saluda River is just a few short steps away from the front door of your tent. Enjoy a fire pit and white sandy beaches on the edge of the river, then retreat to a 20 foot level tent site, with a picnic table. A brand new full (shared with other campers) bathroom with a shower, is a short walk away. Catch Brown and Rainbow trout, play Cornhole, or hit golf balls when you're not swimming in the river!

This property has two river campsites and two campsites in the woods. The river sites are separated by a small patch of woods, so if you are looking for complete privacy, Hill Top or Hill Side is the place to go. Please follow the "arrival instructions" as most GPS directions are not accurate. 30 minutes to Diamond Hill Mine, 15 minutes to The Shoals MX.

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.
