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. We are excited to now provide a port a John , a dumpster and a grill., 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.

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 !!

Quiet and serene
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.

The swimming hole
Absolutely loved the peacefulness of Steve's land. The sound of the creek flowing at night really put me to sleep. Great place to swim too. Highly recommended to others.

Water has a great flow and sound. Very relaxing. Would be so nice in the summer. Easy to get to and feels much further out than it is. I enjoyed my short stay. Thanks for sharing!

This spot was awesome! Big space with tons of water. Please don’t go, we want to keep it to ourselves!
