Secluded camping area next to the swimming hole on long creek. Very quiet and peaceful. Spend your evening relaxing or swimming. Picnic table is provided. No bathroom right now. It’s just a short walk down hill to the campground. (250 steps) It’s close to US National Whitewater center, Kings Mountain National Military park, and Crowders Mountain park. 3 miles off I-85 and US-321. Also check out my neighbors Hipcamp called the waterfallPitch you tent next the swimming hole on Long Creek where it’s quiet and peaceful, listening to the water running over the rocks. It’s about a.1/4 mile walk down hill from parking spot. (250)steps picnic table and fire ring is provided. 3 mile from I-85 and US-321. It’s about 15 to 20 mins drive to most stores.

Cool spot!
This place was pretty incredible. Very private and our dogs absolutely loved every second. We couldn’t keep them out of the water! My son caught 15 fish! 🎣 We are fairly newish to camping so maybe I did something wrong but we were all covered in ticks. Atleast 2-3 each per person/dog. Other than that long day fiasco removing them all - Awesome spot, friendly hosts, and definitely recommend.

Great spot
Nice, secluded spot right on the edge of the river. I had a very nice and relaxing time with my two dogs. Dogs are permitted off leash as well. This site has the feel of seclusion while being close to town. The hosts are very accommodating and down-to-earth people. I don't camp very often but I will definitely go back.

Nice spot very nice. Flat ground for camping. Would have enjoyed a grill but we had fun.

Look no further! Great value for $
We had an awesome trip! The directions were easy and our camping wagon made the short walk to the site a breeze. It’s nicely shaded with a great, deep swimming hole- we were able to tube, float, swim (our dog had a blast)! A great getaway not too far from home.

We had an awesome time at the swimming hole. Our tent was a little too big 14x22 to fit next to the creek, Steve let us set it up in the parking area lol. The family and dogs definitely had a great time for a quick getaway.

Great little secluded spot next to the creek! There is a picnic table and a fire pit provided and parking was a breeze! There is a short walk through the woods from the parking area to the spot but it was an easy walk. The host are extremely kind people! I’d definitely book again!!
