What Makes Our Campground Special? Grand View Campground & RV Park is a 56-acre property located in the beautiful foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains on Highway 226 in Casar, North Carolina. The campground is adjacent to the gorgeous First Broad River. One of the First Broad’s many lovely tributaries, Mountain Creek, also peacefully crosses the property.Beautiful Carolina Blue Sky Over the First Broad River In addition to providing a place where people can escape the rat race for a while, our goal is to extend a family-friendly atmosphere where people of all ages can enjoy themselves year round. We currently offer a fairly extensive list of amenities and activities, and we plan to lengthen that list as we grow. Our hope is that you’ll be right there with us every step of the way. The big blue water slide is one of the main attractions to our campground for the kids – both young and old. Single-slide, hourly, and daily passes are available for purchase.Adults and Kids Coming Down the Slide Another popular drawing card is our easy access to the First Broad River for fishing, wading, canoeing, kayaking, and tubing. Kids love to play in Mountain Creek too. And of course, both the river and the creek are wonderful for those of us who simply love observing or relaxing in nature. Additionally, we offer tubing rentals, which includes rental of a tube and transportation to the starting point of a 1.25-hour trip down the First Broad River back to the campground. Throughout the year, we hold special events at Grand View. Those include live musical entertainment, holiday celebrations, and more. If you sign up on our website and follow our blog, you’ll be one of the first to know when the next special event gets scheduled. We post our special events on Facebook too. Chilling Out Around the CampfireWe offer campsites for RVs, campers, and tents. We also rent campers with campsites. Some of our sites are full hook-up (water, power, septic), and others are basic. Most of our sites have picnic tables and grills. There’s a camping store on the premises that sells shaved ice, ice cream, snacks, non-alcoholic drinks, and miscellaneous camping supplies. Adjacent to the camping store are bath houses, restrooms, and a laundry room. We encourage our guests to enjoy other activities that we offer on site such as basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, hiking, biking, arts and crafts, bingo, Basic campsite by the creek with picnic table is one of the amenities at Grand Viewswinging, seesawing, and more.

We love animals. Cats and dogs are welcome at Grand View provided they are kept on leashes and don’t cause problems for our other guests.

From the time we met and fell in love we have loved to camp, from backwoods primitive tent camping to full hookup from mountains to the beach. In late 2020 we started to build our own little campground on a piece of our 22 acre property to provide a safe clean, drug free place for travel nurses or anyone that is traveling or working close by and wanted to stay in the foothills of the North Carolina mountains.

Tent camping only - No RV spaces. All campsites at Crowders Mountain State Park are hike-in and primitive. Campground is accessed via a 1 mile trail starting from the visitor center.
Legend
We stayed here one night on our way through the area. The owners were very nice and helped us get situated in our site. The roads in the campground are dirt, rutted, and steep. I am glad we unhooked our Jeep before navigating our RV to the site. The RV rocked and rolled quite a bit :-) The site was level, clean with full hook-ups. The price was very reasonable. Most campers were seasonal or long-term campers.
Guide
I camped here with a women’s hiking group and was impressed.
There are lovely trails, a large playground, nature center, the beautiful lake Wylie {no swimming, NC fishing license required}, geocaching, clean bathrooms and shower rooms, electric sites with large tent pads, good sized fire pit area, picnic table.. there’s even a loving gate with a code for a more secure camping experience..
We could fit 3 tents in one pad AND had a hammocker camper too.
If you are wanting some nature near the city, this is a good option - especially if you are checking out city things in Charlotte.
You can hear traffic at night when camping here so bring ear plugs, headphones or a white noise fan if that bothers you.
Pet friendly 🐾
I saw both dogs and camping kitties
There’s 56 camp sites: these include tent, RV hook ups and some primitive.
There’s group camping at Copperhead Island.
I highly recommend, especially for families with children, lots to do and a safe, secure feeling.

We stayed from August 1, 2023 to October 30, 2023. This place is toxic. You will have no privacy. If the park cameras aren't watching your every move, the long term residents are.
Indian Springs RV Park claims to be a destination for all, but our experience told a different story. From the outset, the owner's demeanor was cold and unwelcoming. It's clear that this park caters primarily to long-term older renters, which left us feeling like outsiders.
The pet rules were not only archaic but also overly strict. Our furry companions felt like prisoners rather than cherished members of our family. This level of rigidity made our stay uncomfortable and less enjoyable.
The wilderness trail, advertised as a natural escape, was a disappointment. Instead of a serene, well-maintained environment, we encountered a trash-strewn path that reflected a lack of care for the natural surroundings. We had a problem with roaches, which I can only assume came from unkempt trailers residing next to us.
Families with children should think twice before booking here. The park lacks kid-friendly amenities and activities, making it an unsuitable environment for young ones. It's clear that this place is geared towards a specific demographic, neglecting the needs of a more diverse clientele.
Perhaps most frustrating was the inconsistency in park rules. It became evident that decisions were made to suit the owner's preferences rather than ensuring a positive experience for all guests. This lack of transparency left us feeling undervalued and frustrated.
In conclusion, Indian Springs RV Park may be ideal for a specific demographic, but it falls short of providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for a broader range of guests. We left with a sense of disappointment and will not be returning. It's important for the management to be honest about their target audience to avoid misleading potential visitors.

We are so happy for this up and coming RV resort! Their current focus is providing a campground to the traveling nurses that are coming through the area but they do have some flexibility for travelers. Kim was fantastic at helping us with arriving early due to hurricane Ian and Mike was on site with a rain coat when we did finally show up! That’s just amazing compassion that you might not get elsewhere larger. Great Wi-Fi, level sites, and easy access to everything you could need.
Traveler
Subpar; seems to cater to long term residents. For the 3 pages of rules and regulations I was expecting a pristine campground; what we found was a half paved parking lot and our lot was on a hill side which made using our full hookups going up hill. No fire pit! Must provide ur own, rules state belongings must be 3ft away from away from neighboring sites which is almost impossible with how close sites are. Pass it up! Keep Driving! Would have given less than one star if possible
GuideWe were hesitant based on the reviews of “steep grade” but found this entirely manageable (24’ motor home RV). The grade is 7% and is managed through a long gentle slope in/out. The only time I’d be concerned about the entrance would be in a driving rain. Beyond that there is a central area of RV spots with nice distance between them. There are some trees but mostly around the perimeter. We were just overnight, so did not acquaint ourselves with the amenities. I would echo there are no bath houses. Friendly manager and friendly campers, most of whom appear to be permanent. They have only a small number of available slots and she would not allow me to reserve the day before — I had to call the day of to see if they still had an opening, which added to our trip insecurity. They did not take cards, we paid cash. They are in the middle of expanding with a set of new RV spaces ‘up the hill’. This was more of a grade than the entrance, but quite manageable. The long spot (# 33) was pull-through, very level, gravel, with all hookups. One RV pad per terrace. Close enough we could talk with our near neighbor but had loads of privacy. Up that high on the hill we heard a whisper of Interstate noise but that did not detract from the whip-or-will song at dusk. Overall a very nice RV park, one we would definitely stay at again.

Overall, this is a very nice, clean park conveniently located to the interstate I-85) and attractions in the area. It has all the amenities you would expect to find at a KOA such as a swimming pool, playground, dog park, miniature golf, store, clubhouse, and more (including goats). It is by far the nicest private campground in the area that we have stayed at.
This KOA has 127 sites offering varying degrees of services to accommodate RV's, tents, and those wanting to rent cabins. We chose a 50-amp full hook-up back-in site but were upgraded to a pull-thru so we could be in a sunny location to mitigate the chilly air. How nice of them! Our site (#79) was perfectly level as were most others (but not all). Water, electric, and cable hook-ups were well placed at the site and worked fine. We paid $37/night(with the KOA member discount). Nice, large grassy area for dogs to walk and sniff and there is a decent size dog park. Roads and pads are hard packed gravel with grass in between sites. Some sites are set in a wooded area while some are out in the open with plenty of sun and satellite coverage. The park is big rig friendly and the roads are easily navigable. All sites have a picnic table and some had fire pits but ours did not. Cable is included and offered over 50 channels. Wifi worked well at our site. The laundry was small with three washers and three dryers but very clean and had a decent book exchange. The bathroom and showers were super clean and looked like they were updated recently.
The campground is extremely clean and the owners/employees are super friendly. There is a short hiking trail (less than a mile) through the woods and plenty of green space in front of some of the pull-thrus. playground large swimming pool with large deck putt putt with lots of goat humor.
The only downside would be the closeness of sites but that is pretty much what you expect from private RV parks. Fortunately, we did not have neighbors right next to us which gave us more space. I'm usually not a KOA fan but have to say this one was great for our overnight stay and we would recommend it.
Ranger
Overall this is an ok campground. Beware of many tight small sites that slope front to back. These are the sites closets to the main office. The sites in the back are very level but seem to have a bunch of long term and are reserved for bigger rigs. Bathrooms were very clean and the WiFi was excellent.
Scout
I lived here for two years on a long term spot. If short term you will be In a small gravel lot. There are no amenities, no shower houses. No frills.
GuideVery clean and well maintained campground! Great for long term camp sites! Very easy to deal with the workers as they are friendly and will take care of you! Pet friendly also. This is a great safe campground.
Scout
Sites were easy to access, full hook-up, easy check-in. Quiet times were honored, which was a big plus. First time I ever slept in until 10:00 am. My site was respected, considering I was next to the water/beach area. The beach area was closed for the season, but it was a nice view anyway.
LegendWe spent the last few days at the Carowinds Camp Wilderness campground in Site 70 with full hook-ups. Sites were clean, level, and reasonably spaced. The campground is very conveniently located in South Charlotte and it was great to back to this area and catch up with friends and family.
GuideWe stayed here on our way North to head home. It's in a decent location, the sites are level with full hook ups. The nighttime noise was bothersome, not sure where it was coming from, likely outside the campground. We didn't do the amusement park because of Covid and being almost below freezing. Maybe if we had, it would have been more appealing?
ScoutClean campground with full hook ups except cable TV. It is near the Charlotte airport, so there is noise from planes taking off and landing between 6 AM and 10 PM. Easy in and out. They only accept cash. 
Traveler
Full hook up, and laundry. Really about the only "nice" things here. Spots are right on top of each other, not very flat, gravel and grass. Store has basics....but mostly empty shelves. Shower adequate....it was cold in the bathroom/shower area, no heat. To be fair, this is off season...so pool closed, recreation room closed..... But if ya just need to park it for a few days, catch up on laundry, grab a shower....its okay.
Guide
We stayed at the park a couple of times. It’s a very nice county park with full hook ups. They are doing construction right now redoing the boat docks, beach and playgrounds area. It will be very nice when done. Some sites are a little small and some are not very level but if you call the campground hosts and rangers are very helpful in helping you get on the right sight.
GuideWhat a beautiful park. The sites have full Hook up. We where at site 50 and it was completely shaded. They where still under major construction redoing the beach and boat docks. But we still really enjoyed this park. Super close to town to get supplies and dinner.
Legend
Croft State Park is a really nice campground for RV and travel trailer camping. For tent camping, it is just okay. I say that because of the gravel surfaces at the campsites. Fortunately, I took a cot to sleep on, for even with a foam pad and an air mattress, I think sleeping would be uncomfortable. The site I stayed on did have water and electricity, which was fortunate since it is very hot there in August. My mistake was not taking a large enough fan.
The bath house was conveniently located, and it was air conditioned. There were hot showers, and when I say hot, I mean hot. If you take a shower in their bath house, I suggest that you do not turn the water all the way to hot to begin with. Otherwise, you will burn yourself. Although there was a soap dispenser in the bath house, you will need to take your own soap. The dispenser was empty.
There is a beautiful lake at the campground, which allows several opportunities for fishing. There is a fishing dock and several types of watercraft rentals. There is also miles and miles of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. I was amazed at the number of trails.
Another section of the park is devoted to equestrian camping, and there is even a show arena. For those who want to primitive camp, there is a place for that as well. I would have given the campground four stars, but because of the gravel sites and the yellow jackets, I could only give it three. The yellow jackets were out of control.
I would suggest some pest control measures. I realize that most campers are in RVs and travel trailers, but tent campers also need a more appropriate place to camp than on large gravel surfaces.
GuideWe stayed here in June 2021 as an overnight stay and we wished we could have stayed longer. The price was amazing! The full hook up sites were very clean and we felt good being so secure with the gate and rangers. We did take some time to walk along the beach and the park.
Guide
Lovely little park in a small circle. About 25 campsites with some as full hook-ups. Sites are uneven so make sure you have blocks and not much around the campsite so this is a place to come and just relax. Bathhouse is ok; lake is beautiful for canoe or kayaking; but no swimming.
Traveler
Great little spot for a family get away. We came in late after leaving another place down the road that was just awful. They waited until we arrived even though it was after the office closed.
They have a lot of little activities during the day and even for the family. We would stay here again, I just wish it was a little cheaper ($57 a night full hook ups)and it would be nice if cell phone service was better as there is pretty much one bar everywhere you go in the camp ground for Verizon.
ScoutOlder campground lots of shade. staff very friendly and helpful. We were really surprised with how much has been invested in Carowinds over the years by Cedar Fair that the campground has been untouched. Bathrooms/bathhouses were very clean and seem to be the one part of the campground that has been updated. One section of the campground has been turned into long term camping and many looked like they had been there for years. campground was quiet other than noise from air traffic as airport is nearby but it was minor. Campsites have decent space in between each other which is great bc the sites are small in length and you will be parking either beside the rig or sideways in front of it. We stayed in a back-in site and most back-in sites seemed rather level but pull throughs were hit or miss on that aspect. If you are staying here to go to the park then it is very convenient and has an excellent shuttle that runs frequently and drops you off near the front gate. Very small camp store that has most of the basics. Campground overall is clean, safe and secure but we expected a little more from theme park campground. We live nearby and are pass holders at Carowinds so we will likely stay frequently due to the convenience.
ScoutCampground is part of Carowinds amusement park. Cabins and RV spaces are available. Prices are rather expensive during the season, but reasonable off-season. I've stayed here twice while visiting nearby Charlotte, and was pleased with the facility. RV spaces are a nice size with plenty of grass. Some airplane noise from planes using CLT, but wasn't bothersome. It's a short drive to restaurants and shopping, and very convenient if visiting Charlotte and surrounding cities. Will stay again.
GuideIs a decent rv park. No amenities, charge $100 extra dlls for each kid. Kids are not allowed outside. 
GuideWe had a blast; even with younger kids. RV sites and cabins, friendly staff, free shuttle to the amusement park, great community center, and more. Whether you are hanging in the RV park or at the amusement park, you'll be satisfied. Nice RV sites and well maintained!
ScoutThis place is tucked away near a river, plenty of indoor and outdoor activities, plus a nice laundromat. One of the quietest RV parks I've ever been to! The owners are nice and the grounds are well kept. Only reason it's not 5/5 is they currently lack a bathhouse.
Guide
We came here to do some trailer maintenance and because it is very close to home. We were not expecting it to be a great camping experience, but we’re pleasantly surprised! The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, the campsites were clean, and the bath houses were newly updated and immaculate. The roads in the section we stayed in were a bit rough (a combination of asphalt and gravel), but perfectly fine for camping. Most of the sites have good shade, but unfortunately our site was in full sun. Our site had full hookups, and a picnic table that was pretty rickety. No fire ring. The sites are very close together, and most are back to back sharing a driveway. Personally we prefer a more secluded camping spot, but this KOA is perfect for an overnight on your way to another location, a trip to nearby Charlotte, or like us, utilizing the full hookups for some waterline maintenance.
