Best Campgrounds near Concord, NC
Camping around Concord, North Carolina, puts you between the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains with several good options. Lake Norman State Park Campground has well-kept sites near hiking trails and fishing areas. If you want something quieter, Iron City Campground gives you a more basic camping setup. The Appalachian Trail isn't far away if you want to hike and see the mountain views. Watch for deer and birds in the area - keep your food stored properly so you don't attract wildlife to your campsite. The Lake Norman sites have good tree cover and space between them, which helps when you want some privacy. Iron City has bigger sites that work for both tents and RVs. Spring and fall are the best seasons to camp here when temperatures are comfortable. Summer gets hot and sticky, so bring plenty of water if you camp then. When you need a break from camping, you can check out Concord's downtown or visit Charlotte Motor Speedway, both just a short drive away.
