Chris was super helpful and check in was easy. Uwharrie trailheads are only a couple minutes away, and the outpost has anything you may have forgotten while packing.

We loved camping on Chris’s land. He actually came out to greet us after we got set up & he’s a very nice guy. The land is beautiful & right across from the Eldorado Outpost Store where you can get your OHV pass & pretty much anything else you may need on your trip.

The property is beautiful and Chris accommodated my daughter and myself for a perfect family camping excursion while balancing hosting several off-road vehicle enthusiasts. Chris was sincere in providing the experience we were looking for and exceeded expectations. 100% recommend Not rugged, distributed camping, but a great basecamp for activities in the nearby National Forest and absolutely perfect for introducing camping to young explorers. 10/10 highly recommended

Weekend Trip to Uwharrie Basecamp -The Overland Co.

Great location and proximity to the Outpost and trails. Although I didn't officially camp (due to last minute change of plans), I did meet up with the group and hang out. Plenty of space to spread out. Great for the primitive set ups. The treeline was the place to be for the chilly nights/mornings. I would camp here in the future. I have a small off-road camper and the site has great access for that. A few small off-roading campers and tents are perfect. No big rigs.

Weekend Trip to Uwharrie Basecamp -The Overland Co.

Our group enjoyed everything about our stay at Chris’ property!!! Chris greeted us as soon as we arrived(a little bit early but no problem). He told us all about the property and nearby amenities. We, myself included, had a few first timers tackling the trails in nearby Uwharrie. There is an entrance less than a mile down the road and the El Dorado outpost is across the street. We plan on returning soon and would highly recommend others stay here as well!!!

Weekend Trip to Uwharrie Basecamp - Multi Site Camp

We visit uwharrie a few times a year and have for years now, and this was by far the best stay we’ve had up there.. the camping spot can be seen from the road, but it’s several hundred feet back to the wood line. All grass and no dust to deal with like you would have if you were staying in the national forest itself. Quiet and just a Short drive to the trailheads and El Dorado outpost is directly across from where the camping spot is at.. we had a great time and will stay there from now on

This spot totally blew us away. Seriously, the vibes were immaculate. And those fresh eggs? Don't even get me started. So good, like sunshine on a plate. We're already planning our next visit. This place is a hidden gem, for sure. Can't wait to go back and soak it all in again. It's the kind of place that just makes you happy.
