Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
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.We have a new road to the campsite; you can now drive down with two-wheel drive vehicle or small 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.

Magical waterfall sand bar camping!
Had an amazing stay! Loved that there are upgrade options available to bring less to the site. The views of the waterfall and the time there was magical! Loved the fluffy sand the kids and dog enjoyed running around. Also the kids loved feeding the animals! Will come back! Highly recommend for a quick gate away just 45mins away from Charlotte!

Love love love
Absolutely beautiful place! Hidden gem! Clean bathroom for us to use and the view is amazing. Even though the cold and rain we had a great time. The host Scott was friendly and made us feel very welcome. Loved that we had the place all to ourselves. We will definitely be returning when the weather warms up.

Great Solo Stay
I loved tent camping at this location. I felt safe as a solo female traveler. Scott was very friendly. I will certainly go back for another visit
