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.

We go camping every year and this was the best site. From the location to the waterfall, everything was perfect. Loved we could also get fresh eggs and firewood. Scott was super nice. Will come again!

Gorgeous Charlotte getaway!
This spot is a gem! The campsite was immaculate when we arrived and Scott made sure we had everything we needed (including a French press!) Our kids (4 and 7) loved exploring above and below the waterfall and falling sleeping to the sound of a private waterfall was delightful—we’ll definitely be coming back!

Camping with a Waterfall!
This was my forth time camping at Scott’s beautiful campsite with you own waterfall! Wow.. it’s always a pleasure and always so impressive! Scott keeps the grounds very nice and clean and the fire pit is always a wonderful focal point to sit and look at the beautiful waterfall that Cascades down into a lagoon. I took my snorkel and mask and tried to look around, but didn’t see a whole lot of things because the water was so turned up. There had been a lot of rain. It is so wonderful waking up hearing the waterfall outside of your tent and hanging around the campsite is so comfortable and fun. The bathroom is very clean And I’m glad that it has a bathroom on the property. Scott is always so helpful and there for you if you need anything! We will definitely be back a fifth time!
