    Casar, North Carolina

    Welcome to South Mountains State Park Campground, nestled near Connelly Springs, NC. This spot is a gem for anyone looking to escape into nature without straying too far from civilization. The campground is open year-round and offers a mix of tent and RV accommodations, making it a versatile choice for all types of campers.

    One of the standout features here is the access to clean drinking water and electric hookups, which makes your stay a bit more comfortable. Plus, the park is pet-friendly, so feel free to bring your furry friends along for the adventure. Just remember, no alcohol is allowed on the premises.

    The park itself is a haven for hikers. The trails are broad and can get pretty hilly, so if your knees tend to complain, trekking poles are a good idea. The Jacob Branch Backcountry Sites are a bit challenging to pitch a tent on due to roots and hardpan earth, but the bear box and clear water source make it worth the effort. For a more family-friendly option, the Shinny Creek sites are just over a mile in and offer flat, clear spots right by a stream—perfect for kids or anyone looking for a quick, easy hike.

    The High Shoals Falls trail is a must-see, featuring an 80-foot waterfall that's absolutely stunning. The hike can be steep, but the views are worth every step. If you're into fishing, the creek running beside the campground is stocked with trout a few times a year, but make sure you have all your NC licenses in order.

    Overall, South Mountains State Park Campground offers a mix of natural beauty and practical amenities, making it a fantastic spot for both seasoned campers and first-timers. Enjoy your stay!
