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.

Perfect for a family looking 4 fun
Our family loved tent camping on Scott’s land. We had a fantastic time sunbathing, swimming and fishing. It has a wonderful swing, grill and shaded area. We had so much fun and hope to be back soon. Scott was super helpful and provided great information on native wildlife. Thank you Scott!

Family of 5: waterfall serenity
Scott was a great host. We were on day 18 of a trip from Florida to Prince Edward Island and back. This was one of my childrens favorite camping experiences. My son caught (and released) 52 fish in 3 hours of fishing. My daughters loved the water slide. It was so peaceful. Scott provided firewood ($10/ bundle) that was dry and seasoned. Wonderful family time together. Great access w a sprinter van. East three point turn to get out. Would recommend to others!

Nothing better than a swimming hole
The site is perfect if you are looking to get back to nature. We saw hawks, fish, woodchuck, frogs, & fish. The site and the port-a-toilet were clean. Scott was a big help for several things we needed. It was easy in and out for our 26' trailer using AWD. Can't wait to come back when it is cool so we can enjoy some "fire time".
