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.

This might be the most beautiful campsite I have ever seen! It’s very spacious and private with full access to the waterfall as your backdrop for the whole stay. The host was awesome too.

1000/10
Holy crap if I could give Scott and his site more than 10/10 I would. I am immediately rebooking for another trip! Cannot emphasize how beautiful this site was, the pictures can’t capture it. We were flabbergasted. Also we did the extras and Scott was a sweetheart. Omg. So impressed.

Magical waterfall sand bar camping!
Had an amazing stay! Loved that there are upgrade options available to bring less to the site. The views of the waterfall and the time there was magical! Loved the fluffy sand the kids and dog enjoyed running around. Also the kids loved feeding the animals! Will come back! Highly recommend for a quick gate away just 45mins away from Charlotte!
