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.My campsite is not entirely private. The camp is visible from a shared driveway, and my residence is located up a hill that overlooks the area. Additionally, my neighbors own the land on the other side of the stream and have requested that campers not trespass on their side. Please stay in the water and on our campsite side. There is a gravel road leading to the campsite, which can accommodate two-wheel drive vehicles or small RVs. You can park and camp at the base of the falls. I also now include a grill. It features both a propane and a charcoal side. I provide the propane, but not the charcoal. There is plenty of soft sand available to set up tents—whether you have one tent or ten, large groups are welcome for an additional per-person fee. A Porta-Potty is provided at the campsite. Swimming is generally possible at the base of the falls; however, heavy rainfall can change conditions and make the stream unsafe. The campsite is conveniently located near the US National Whitewater Center (offering mountain biking, whitewater rafting, and kayaking), Kings Mountain National Military Park (featuring horseback riding and historical attractions), and Crowders Mountain (ideal for hiking). It is just 3 miles off I-85 and US-321 for those passing through.
