The best dog-friendly camping near Salisbury

·

In Salisbury, you’ll find over 550 pet-friendly camping spots where dogs get just as much fresh air as you do. Prices start at $20 a night, with most sites averaging around $40. Expect toilets on-site, campfires allowed, and plenty of room for animals to roam. Trails cut through pine woods and creekside meadows—ideal for hiking, swimming, or even saddling up for horseback rides. Top picks like The Oasis at Harmon Creek Farms (592 reviews), Babbling Brook Campground (284 reviews), and Waterfall camping close to CLT (254 reviews) get high marks for shady pitches and plenty of space to let your dog off-leash. Campfires crackle at dusk, and you’re never far from a swimming hole or a trailhead. This is camping that works for both you and your four-legged travel buddy.

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.
