Wonderful views and a really accessible campground, recommend it to anyone who just wants to relax far from the city for some time!

William’s campground was so lovely. Plenty of room to spread out and explore. The stars, oh my gosh! We loved sitting at the shared lookout point at night and just staring up at the sky.
Check out the spa add-on! The sauna was perfect on a chilly Fall day. Would love to come back in the warmer months.

Nice little spa. Nice view from the overlook. Pleasant camp sites far enough away from each other with very few disturbances. Over all nice time.

We really enjoyed our time here. Host was friendly and can tell he takes pride it updating the campground. Overlook was awesome for sunrise and sunset viewing.
Some neighbor campers got a little load at times but that has nothing to do with the host. Overall, 9/10 on my camping score card.

This was a really awesome camp site, a lot of great views, good amenities, and great location. The actual sites are a bit close together but still spread out enough that you have you privacy, and there’s a lot of great views around the camp. They had running water which we used to refill our bottles, and the showers were really nice and got very hot. If you need wood, then the bundles they offer supply plenty for a long trip. The sites also were set up very smart with plenty of room for parking, a hook to hang up either food or a lantern, and a large container of water given to you for the fires. I would definitely come back here if I was in the area again.

This place was an amazing place to REALLY experience nature and disconnect from our modern virtual world! I will definitely be returning and highly recommend people check this place out. The cabin I stayed in was super clean and very private. Definitely my top number one place to visit anytime. I'm in North Carolina!

We always have a great time here. Campsites are well maintained and the bathrooms and showers are a nice touch. We love heading to the lookout and relaxing on the hammocks at sunset.

I loved camping here there was this huge observation ridge and the tents had everything you’d need, plus the site had bundles of firewood available as add on or purchase on site. It was very cold when I went so I am glad they included a space heaters for the tents. I only wish I known where it was sooner. I brought my dog along as well for her first camping trip. Having everything available made it easier to look after her.

We had a beautiful view. Our yurt stayed very warm and cozy bc of the heater. We were very grateful bc it was a cold night. The yurt was clean and the bed was comfortable. We will definitely be back!

Across two pre booked reservations at site 3 (one with a group) I stayed a little over a week at the campground.
Positives: The camp provided all amenities listed that I saw. Showers never ran out of hot water. Host was responsive and kind. Facilities looked maintained for example portopotties looked to be emptied regularly and showers were in fair condition.
Negative: The site 3 picture appears to be older and across the campgrounds from a time when they are not leaf blower blown clean, so it looks more forested. Site 3 unless you are facing the road which is the passage for all campers and so somewhat regularly used on the weekend, or setup camp facing the adjacent campsites your primary view is what I assume is a clay drainage pond that has little to no growth on its boarders. In a year or two as plants grow in it may look like a forested pond but at the end of 2025 currently it looks like a big clay pit recently dug with excavators. This is only the primary view for site 3 and 4, other sites appear to have more wooded views. If the image for site 3 was more representative as I consider it I would have chosen a different site and not camped for a week besides the fresh clay hole.
Again the host was kind and the campsite as a whole seemed maintained. Also full disclosure, I was sick a majority of this camping trip, while I assume it has not affected this review, disclosure in case.

Starlight Hills provides great privacy while still providing the amenities of a larger campground such as showers and potable water. The overlook provides an excellent view of the surrounding area, and it is only a couple hundred yards from the site we stayed at. The campsite itself was quite spacious with a good size fire ring, and other sites seemed similar. Would recommend and stay there again if I’m in the area again.

Starlight Hills continues to be our favorite camping spot in North Carolina. This was our 4th year here and we will continue to come back! Highly recommend as it’s not a far drive from Charlotte but easier to access nearby hiking spots/mountain towns.

Site 5 - Starlight Hills Campground
I’m a solo van camper and had such a great experience staying at site #5 right across from the overlook - such a beautiful spot. The hot tub and sauna were great, totally worth it. The showers were nice with hot water, and there’s a place to charge those lovely electronics. William and his crew were genuinely welcoming - you can tell they care about the land. I also felt safe.

This is a great campground for a weekend in the mountains. Site 4 was well kept with a picnic table and fire ring. We enjoyed the short walk to the showers and porta-potty. Site 4 is closer to the road, so there wasn't a whole lot of privacy from cars driving by or others walking by. The overlook is beautiful. We enjoyed drinking coffee while looking at the sunrise on the mountains each morning!

Was perfect blend of camping with peace and tranquility and convenience of firewood, clean porta potties, and showers. Our family enjoyed our spot. My wife and I were in glamping tent and my daughter and her husband kept in their EV in camping mode. So nice not to have to mess with pole tents for a change. Also, William is great host!! My only suggestion would be to cut 2 of the small trees at the site entrance. Very tight to get a vehicle in. All other sites looked more accessible.

We were really happy with this camping site. Our site (site#1), being close to the overlook had an absolutely beautiful view of the forests and mountains. The nights, when clear, gave way to a gorgeous display of the stars. Staff is friendly and helpful. Corey who first welcomed us was very helpful in explaining all the info and locations of facilities.
Showers are available and great, restrooms are portapottys, however I've been told that construction on improved facilities are underway. All in all, we had a great experience and will definitely be back nex time.
Ps: a nice and friendly store / small family diner called Becky's Country Store and Grille nearby that opens early. Got a good breakfast, great price and camping supplies we missed.

My husband loves the primitive side of the campground - even the outdoor showers - his favorite. He was a little hesitant when we got to the site. We arrived after dark due to traffic and the tent site was off in the woods - not far from your vehicle but if you didn't have flashlights it would be hard to see.
Absolutely loved Starlight Hills Campground - the outdoor showers were our favorite! Hot water with a hint of coolness in the air.
My only recommendation is that you add a porta john at or near the end of the campground road (past site 9 and the Luna Dome). Definitely not an issue but for those late night runs/walks to the bathroom at the overlook, a little further than you may want to go by yourself in the dark - just my two cents worth.
I was hesitant about making the reservations but the more reviews I read the better I felt about staying.
Great place and we will definitely be back.
