"We loved the education center, the small walking trails and lakeside area. Staff were polite and helpful. Washrooms are incredible! Newly renovated at the time, and clean!"
"The park is located southwest of Charlotte off of hwy 49 near Lake Wylie, SC."
"The adjacent amusement park is closed due to Covid but i bet it is a blast to stay here when it is open. Wooded perimeter so you feel you are away from the city."
"The hookups were standard location and heights no issues. Our steps come out to a large level dirt pad, not grass. Lots of trees providing shade which is nice."
"Campground has trails and fishing in walking distance. It is always packed. No alcohol permitted."
"Just be mindful when booking sites near the Lakeside Lodge, they book parties, so it’s a little busier & noisier than our preference."
$62 / night
"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!"

"We live nearby so this is a nice little place to camp at. Nice sites, close to places to eat. Bathhouse was clean and well kept."

"A few minute walk into all the sites, basic bathrooms by car park, peaceful lake views, some sites close to a walking trail, well spaced apart sites"
ScoutAlways very clean, with meticulously maintained and picturesque grounds, the Camp Wilderness at Carowinds is well-appointed with amenities and attended to by helpful and friendly Carowinds staff. Providing shuttle service to the front gate for park entry, this is an excellent choice for overnight stays and Carowinds outings.
GuideREX COBLE is the owner of this campground. My father and I stayed here for months. Seemed like a good guy. We were so wrong. Left for another job and has been sitting there in storage until we were ready for hotshot. Paid 6 months advance $100/month for storage. Not even a week later it gets broken into. Police were involved. Report was made. Now he won't answer any of our calls. Acting like my father's camper isn't there. 2015 Sandpiper fifth wheel he stole from my father. The insurance agent we sent seen it was moved and hidden in the back by a pond and brick building. He ran that person off his property. Now we finally get an answer and he is demanding $2,500?! When he’s already been paid in full and for storage?! There is people living in it?!? Without our permission. I’m assuming his family or friends. All our belongings are gone. Inside is destroyed from multiple pit bulls living inside an people and outside from when they kept moving it to hide it. Our whole life was in there. The most inhumane thing you can do to someone. Having to get law involved once again. He never gave us any documentation when we moved in and always gave us the go around. Oh I’m busy or out of town response. Biggest crook and con of Anson County. I highly suggest you do not stay here or do any business with this person!

GuideWe were here one night. CG is nice, they have some seasonal sites and a lot of other sites. There are some new sites along the pond on the lower level. They also had buddy sites, perfect for a 2+ campers to gather as a group. Nice dog park, nice playground.
We would stay here again.
