10 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks serve the Mineral Springs area with varying amenities and site configurations. Crown Cove RV Park provides full hookup sites with 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections. Nearby Elmore RV Park accommodates big rigs on its drive-in access sites, offering water and electrical hookups year-round. McDowell Nature Preserve, located on Lake Wylie, features RV sites with water and electric service in a more natural setting with secured gate access. Carowinds Camp Wilderness Resort offers full hookup RV sites near the amusement park, with reliable utilities for larger rigs. "Nice RV sites and well maintained! Whether you are hanging in the RV park or at the amusement park, you'll be satisfied," according to one camper.
Site conditions vary significantly throughout the region's RV parks. Many campgrounds have sloped or uneven sites requiring leveling equipment, particularly at Crown Cove where campers report sites positioned on hillsides. Dump stations are available at several locations including McDowell Nature Preserve and Carowinds Camp Wilderness Resort. Most parks welcome pets with designated walking areas, though some enforce strict rules about outdoor activities. Between spring and fall, reservation availability becomes limited at popular locations like Cane Creek Park, which offers both water/electric and full hookup options. Cell service remains reliable at parks closer to Charlotte but may fluctuate at more remote locations.

RangerWhen I’m traveling through the area, I do my best to stay here. It is a peaceful and well kept campground. It is an adult and a kid friendly environment. It’s one of the few places you can feel safe. I highly recommend this place.
TravelerIt’s a small, clean campground but we are next to a busy road (site 28) and also the entrance to the public access of Moss Lake. It’s a tight squeeze for us as a 33’ fifth wheel.
GuideTight fit, we stayed here with our 20ft trailer and it is a little tight. The site was at a slight angle and I noticed a lot of sites are the same way. Plus side is there is a security gate with code entry. Easy access to lake. Good clean boathouse and nice full hookups.
TravelerThis is/was marked as dispersed camping but this is primarily an OHV area, with a shooting range nearby that can be heard from some campsites. Most, if not all, of the campsites are intended to be large group sites. The empty site we found was filled with trash, discarded tents, air mattresses, and trashed electronics from OHVs. There's so much trash we would not even be able to take it all out with us if we wanted to. This may be a national forest, but it is not peace and quiet as one would expect from "dispersed and primitive" camping.
GuideThere was other people camping and running their generators all night. Some low lifers on ATV blasted in and out of the parking area and blasting music at 2 am. Good luck getting any sleep here. But enjoyed the trail to it and the forest. Got at least 2 hours of sleep before I packed up.
ScoutThe spots are alright but first night got ate up by ants so hadda move and the other spots are good but have no shade and no signal and not mutch to take pictures of so if you wanna have some survival type camping this is a great location.
LegendThis campground is essentially an expansive gravel parking lot made for RVs. While that may not sound appealing to some, race fans will love it because it is so close to all the racing action of the Charlotte Motor Speedway. We camped in the M section which is near the main road. There is a bit of road noise but it didn’t bother us because our RV has good sound protection and the road was quiet at night. We don’t like being right on top of other campers and since most people don’t want to be near the road, this worked in our favor. If you have Good Sam, there is a discount which is a pretty good deal for 50 amps, full hook-up site. Despite our site being close to the office, the wifi never worked well and we gave up opting for our Verizon hotspot. There is no cable but our over-the-air antenna worked well (35+ channels) and you would not have any trouble getting satellite reception. There are no trees for shade and we were glad the highs were only in the 70’s when we were there. The large sized gravel is nice to keep the dust down and not make this nasty when it rains but don’t even think about going barefoot on it. Even our dog was apprehensive and tender footed when she walked across it. There is not much for kids to do here– just a small playground. The laundry is located at the office but the only bathhouse is far away from the front of the campground. If you need the bathhouse you are going to want to be in the P, Q, or R sections of else you will have to walk pretty far. Garbage is picked up at your site but when we were there, it often sat for a day or two. The campground was probably only at ¼ capacity and the one dumpster was overflowing. Can’t imagine what they do during busy racing weekends. There is a free food pantry so if you have any canned goods or other items you want to share. For race fans, this is a great campground because you are within walking distance of the Carolina Motor Speedway and the associated dirt track and drag racing track. For $30 you can take a tour of all the race facilities and I highly recommend it.
ScoutWe stayed here because of the proximity to Charlotte. Big rig friendly and FHU. Only wish they had a swimming area!
TravelerI don’t have any complaints about this campground! Sites are nice and feel like you aren’t close to anyone else. Very pretty area, quiet. Newest bathhouse I have ever seen at a state park! Awesome showers.
Several RV parks operate near Mineral Springs, North Carolina, with varying levels of amenities. Crown Cove RV Park in Fort Mill provides full hookup sites with 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections. Glenwood Acres RV Park in Concord maintains year-round availability with full hookups and accommodations for large motorhomes on its big rig friendly sites. McDowell Nature Preserve offers a more natural setting with water and electric hookups for RVs, though without sewer connections at individual sites. Elmore RV Park in Charlotte features 50-amp service and accommodates larger recreational vehicles on primarily gravel surfaces. "Sites are on one tight loop encircling the bathhouse. Very busy on the weekends but quiet during the week. Best for compact campers/RVs, our 35' skoolie made it but barely."
Many RV parks in the region have security gates with entry codes for registered campers. Dump stations are available at select locations including McDowell Nature Preserve and Cane Creek Park, though not at all facilities. Most parks permit pets, but restrictions vary by location. Cell service remains reliable throughout the area given proximity to Charlotte. During peak seasons, especially summer weekends and fall, advance reservations become essential as parks fill quickly. Some RV sites present leveling challenges, particularly at locations with sloping terrain. One visitor noted: "Some of the RV sites were on quite a slope. Access to lots of good recreation in the nearby area. Would stay again."
