    Statesville RV Park I-77

    Right off of Interstate

    This KOA is RIGHT off of the interstate. If you are in midtravel and need a place to overnight this is a nice KOA for that. The camping cabins are cozy, we stayed in a single which has 1 dbl bed and twin sized bunk bed. Staff was very friendly. I wouldn't consider this a camping destination.

    Lake Norman State Park Campground

    Fantastic quiet get away

    We stayed in the new glamping cabin #2. Very clean, comfortable bed, nice AC, lovely porch to relax on. All cabins are in walking distance to the bathrooms and showers. Those as well were pretty clean for a camp ground, I was pleasantly surprised. The path to the bathrooms light up at night so you can find your way very easy in the dark. Camp ground itself was very clean and I often saw the staff working on cleaning it and interacting with the campers. The designated swimming area was like a piece of heaven. Small not to overly packed, very clean beach. We plan on coming pack to do tent camping with our dog, fantastic family or romantic couple retreat.

    Small clean campground

    Stayed 1 night, sites are close to each other. Small cabins available, walk-in campsites and restrooms are clean and updated. Very nice trail along the lake perimeter and Championship Disc golf course.

    Spacious Skies Peach Haven

    Nice campground, lots of amenities.

    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.

    Cane Creek Park

    A Great Place for the Whole Family.

    Located just outside historic Waxhaw NC, Cane Creek is part of the NC Soil Conservative Sites. They offer day passes,$4.00 per car where you can launch you kayak canoe or fishing boat. If you like Bass Fishing, they rank as one of the best spots around. They have swimming areas for both day users and one for campers. This really is a gem within Union Co NC. The campground is on the other side of the lake. They have camping for RV’s, Cabin Rentals and tent sites for either large groups or individuals. The hiking trail is beautiful and takes you around the whole lake. Watch for horses, as this is a great place for riders too.

    Charlotte-Fort Mill KOA

    Great for trip to Charlotte NC

    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.

    Cane Creek Park

    Great clean campground

    We have stayed at Cane Creek 2x now and enjoy the park so much. Lake, hiking trails and nice wooded campsites with fire rings and close proximity to bath houses. Playground for kids, little store, friendly staff. Beach swimming area closed due to Covid but looks nice. Park on other side of lake has picnic shelters, more trails, frisbee golf and kayak rentals that will open after Covid. Only problem is that both times we visited there was a storm and power went out for hours. Can’t really do anything about that!

    Morrow Mountain State Park Campground

    Good

    So, if you end up in a crap site you might drop those 4 stars to 3. Its going to be impossible to determine a great site from a bad without going there since the only pic they have online is from site 1. B loop, has a lot of RVs. A loop, has the amphitheater. C loop, felt like the smallest loop and really close to the entry hiking trail. We've stayed in both A and C. C loop, site 48, is where we stayed this trip. Its a good site. Close to the showers, which are clean and well maintained. Close to the trash bins and water spicket as well. Behind the site is a great little "valley" to explore if you have kids/dogs. Has awesome trees for hammocks and the tent pad doesnt slope. Did not love the fire pit at this site but the sites to the left and right are great. Overall, tons of sites and good clean facilities. The trails are plentiful so you shouldnt run out of places to explore.


Guide to Pineville

Lake exploration from multiple access points: The region's various lakes create diverse water recreation opportunities. At Cane Creek Park, Emily B. describes her routine: "I load up my kayak once a month or so and paddle around the lake for hours. Trails, shelter areas, and bathrooms are always well taken care of."

Hiking through multiple terrain types: Trail systems vary significantly between parks. "There are several trails, and you can rent boats, peddle boats, canoes, and kayaks," explains Myron C. about Chester State Park's offerings, highlighting the intersection of land and water activities in a single location.

What campers like

Camp store conveniences: On-site supplies eliminate the need for extra trips. At Carowinds Camp Wilderness Resort, Von B. appreciates the "Private pool game room. Laundry and camp store" that make extended stays more comfortable.

Accessible nature near urban areas: The ability to quickly escape city environments without long drives rates highly. Fletcher S. notes that Lake Norman State Park is "Very clean and quite and very close to Charlotte. Nice, moderate hiking trails. Swimming and kayaking."

Private bathroom facilities: Several campgrounds offer more upscale bathroom amenities than typical state parks. "The bathhouse is brand new," Robert D. explains about Morrow Mountain State Park Campground, highlighting recent infrastructure improvements that enhance cabin camping comfort.

What you should know

Seasonal fluctuations in rates: Cabin prices vary significantly based on time of year. Bob F. notes about Carowinds Camp Wilderness: "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."

Varying cabin quality between parks: Standards and amenities differ substantially between locations. According to Jessie N., Charlotte-Fort Mill KOA cabins meet basic needs but aren't luxurious: "Perfect for our needs... the people around us were super friendly and the staff was super friendly."

Bathroom facility access: Distance to facilities varies by campground. At Dan Nicholas Park, Lisa M. explains, "The lake offers fishing, paddle boating and feeding the ducks and it's only a short walk from any campsite," indicating the convenient layout of amenities.

Tips for camping with families

Free recreation options: Several parks include complimentary activities beyond standard amenities. Sarah B. highlights the value at Dan Nicholas Park: "The mini golf is free and a blast. The swim area is only open on Saturdays or you can drive to the day use side and be over there."

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: Uneven surfaces can complicate setup at some locations. At Statesville RV Park I-77, James M. notes: "The tent site was clean, level, grass and water and electric worked great. There was some noise from the interstate but expected in a tent."

Distance from highway noise: Traffic sound varies significantly between parks. Creighton C. observes about Carowinds Camp Wilderness: "The campground is right by the airport so the planes are pretty loud but not much louder than the screams of the people on the roller coasters."

Transportation to attractions: Some resorts offer shuttle services to nearby points of interest. "You can purchase Carowinds tickets right here and ride a shuttle all day long to the park rather than fight traffic," Nate G. explains, highlighting a practical transportation benefit.
