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.

I love camping at the waterfall, it's beautiful there. Scott is a great host. The spot has a nice fire space with swinging benches to sit and admire the waterfall and wildlife.

Gorgeous area for our family pics!
This was the most beautiful property! I loved all the different areas Scott had to offer, all the gorgeous fall colors and nature scenes, and that it made for a perfect backdrop for family pictures! Would 100% recommend and we will definitely be back!

It’s easy to see why this land is often booked months in advance. The serene setting and kind hosts made this trip one to remember. Scott greeted us shortly after arrival with firewood, farm fresh eggs and a propane grill which eased the packing aspect of things. The land was absolutely wonderful and clean. With plenty of area for larger groups, my wife, dog and I we able to enjoy the space to ourselves and have a much needed disconnect. The waterfall soothed us to sleep shortly after our fire died down for the evening. Truly an amazing hidden get away, looking for meats to reacting the trip. Thanks for your hospitality Scott.

Whoop whoop
The place is great! Water is refreshing and isn’t too shallow. Lots of room for multiple tents. Me and my friends loved it.

Blissful weekend away from the city
This camp site was so perfect! Plenty of space for multiple tents and for our three dogs to play. The land was nice and soft to sleep on with the sand in a lot of areas. We loved the waterfall and basking in the sun on the big rocks. Scott was great about communication and sold us a large bundle of firewood. Overall, wonderful spot for an outdoor weekend.
