    Chester State Park Campground

    State Park with a Beautiful View of the Lake

    I gave this campground four stars, but only for RVs and travel trailers. I would not give it four stars for tent campers. Tent campers would have a hard time finding a suitable site that would not be too rocky. When I checked in, the lady was nice enough to find a site with grass behind the gravel so I could set up my tent. She didn’t warn me that it was sloped. With that said, it is a campground in a beautiful setting. The lake and the sitting area beside the lake are both beautiful. There is a paved walkway down to the lake to a sitting area and a dock. The bath house was air conditioned, almost too much. It is a shock to the system moving from the intense South Carolina heat into the bath house. However, it was a nice break from the heat. Be aware that when you take a shower, you may have to wait a few minutes for the hot water to start. When I first turned it on, I wondered if there was any hot water. Eventually it came, and it was HOT, so I had to adjust it quickly. Also, take your own hand soap with you. There are paper towels but no soap. There are several trails, and you can rent boats, peddle boats, canoes, and kayaks. There is also a disc golf course. If I had known beforehand, I would have taken my own discs. That’s my fault for not doing the research. My favorite part of this camping experience was waking up early in the morning and sitting by the lake. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to capture a photo of the ducks taking off and flying in a perfect v-formation, but it was so peaceful there. Overall, this is a great campground to get away from civilization.

    McDowell Nature Preserve

    Clean, lovely conveniently located

    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.

    Carowinds Camp Wilderness Resort

    Decent Campground

    We stayed 3 nights in a 31' travel trailer at site 80. Staff at counter was very friendly and provided all the information needed. Site was level side to side and paved with asphalt only wide enough for the camper. 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. It had started raining after setup and the dirt quickly became mud. The bathhouse is close and clean, all tile. I wish there were curtains separating shower from dress area though. The shuttle to Carowinds was frequent and convenient. All in all, the campground was nice, we would stay again.

    Cheraw State Park Campground — Cheraw State Park

    Peaceful and uncrowded

    We recently returned from 5 days tent camping at Cheraw. We chose site #8 that was directly on the lake and offered electricity and water. These sites are obviously designed for RV’s with little or no space for tent campers. Although there is a designated tent area, it is back in the woods and not lakefront.

    The minimal room we had was fortunately on the lake shore with wonderful shade trees.  The space was not level and contained some unfriendly exposed tree roots. Fortunately we had an inflatable air bed and the roots weren’t much of a problem. 

    Lake Juniper is quite small and swimming is allowed in a designated area on the far side of the lake. We had inflatable rafts and tied our floats to a tree in front of our site , highly aware that a spillway not too far from our site would prove quite dangerous if one went too close then pulled over.

    The small office on the opposite side of the lake offers ice and wood as well as ice cream, candy etc to satisfy any junk food craving. 10 minutes from the park is an IGA. It offers the basics and a little further out is a Walmart with groceries.

    The bathhouse is currently “ under construction” although we saw no work being done during our stay. One half of the bathhouse had been designated unisex with three locking stalls and curtained showers. There is an interior lock if you choose to have the entire bathhouse all to yourself. I grew up in a family of eight and have no problem sharing a bathroom. The bathhouse has obviously seen a great deal of traffic, is quite dated and poorly ventilated. Hopefully the bathhouse will receive its update soon.  

    The campground host was quite helpful and an all around nice guy. We chatted a bit and he has a very interesting background.

    We would return to Cheraw and confidently reserve #7 or #8 for tents. There are most likely other suitable sites there that escaped my notice.

    Ebenezer Park Campground - TEMPORARILY CLOSED

    Meh

    Overall: 2.5-3

    Bathrooms: 2

    County park that offers 67 campsites. Offered bathroom with showers (2 locations only), water and electric hookup, sewer hookup, fire pit, picnic table, boat ramps, and playground. We had spot 9 which was an end spot that was roomy for our teardrop trailer (T@G XL). This spot was closer to the water but not in wooded area. Many spots were in an open field with the RVs on top of one another. Other spots were in more of a wooded area but they were close together.  

    Campground was good if you were into fishing. Many campers had their boats plus in early morning trucks were trailering their boats to place in the lake.  

    There were no trails to explore at the campground. Does offer swimming in the lake starting around Memorial Day. Not much else to do unless you were going to fish for bass or other fresh water fish.  

    Bathrooms: One set for campground (67 sites) and another by the marina. Very outdated, dingy, and dark. Women’s - stall was out of order, some didn’t lock, in evening - messy - papers and other garbage on floors. Showers were the darkest area of the bathroom - icky looking. Woman who had just used it said only the last one really worked. Mens - shower handle was broken, did have hot water but were icky and run down.  

    Overall - convenient for a stop over - near highway, good access to lake for fishing.

    Ebenezer

    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. We went around Halloween and they had trick-or-treating around the park as well as prizes for the best decorated.

Guide to Kershaw

Glamping in Kershaw, South Carolina offers outdoor enthusiasts access to the diverse ecosystems of the Sandhills region, where pine forests meet lakes at elevations between 300-500 feet. Summer temperatures often reach 90°F with high humidity, while winter nights can drop below freezing. Most sites remain accessible year-round, though summer reservations require booking several months in advance due to popularity.

What to do

Fishing and paddling opportunities: Lake Wylie at Ebenezer Park Campground features multiple boat ramps for easy water access. "Fun beach within easy walk from campsite!" notes Frankie E., highlighting the convenience for water activities. The park underwent renovations to improve boat docks and beach areas.

Hiking trails: McDowell Nature Preserve offers multiple trails leading directly from campsites. "So awesome to have hiking trails that lead right out of the campground," reports Kathy L. The preserve maintains several miles of lakeside trails suitable for all skill levels, with many paths offering views of Lake Wylie.

Mini golf and recreation: Cane Creek Park provides free mini-golf for campers, a unique amenity not commonly found at campgrounds. "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," says Sarah B. The park also features a swimming beach with seasonal hours and hiking trails around the lake.

What campers like

Wildlife viewing: The natural setting at Sugarloaf Mountain creates excellent stargazing conditions away from city lights. "Primitive, yet plentiful with beautiful views. Far away from city lights so great for stargazing," notes John P. The elevated terrain provides unobstructed night sky visibility during clear conditions.

Clean facilities: Many glamping sites maintain well-kept bathhouses and shower facilities. "The bathhouse is in good shape and clean. I will come back when I'm in this area," reports Robert D. about Cane Creek. Another camper at Cheraw State Park noted, "The bathrooms and showers were amazingly clean and they had a giant heater you can turn on over the showers when it's cold outside!"

Quiet setting: Despite proximity to Charlotte and other urban areas, most camping options provide peaceful surroundings. "This is a nice little spot not far from Charlotte NC which doesn't seem as busy as other nearby campgrounds," says Tony E. about Andrew Jackson State Park. The campground's limited size (25 sites) helps maintain a tranquil atmosphere.

What you should know

Seasonal variations: Cheraw State Park Campground operates from May through November, unlike many year-round options in the area. During winter months, "It feels so nice to be out of our house but not needing masks constantly. When it isn't off season they have cheap boat rentals. Firewood is $6.50 per bundle," notes Sara M.

Access challenges: Some glamping sites require physical effort to reach. At Six Points @ Raven Micro Farm, the hillside location demands a short hike to access accommodations. Similarly, at Sugarloaf Mountain, "Site 7's entryway was washed out and had some large holes that would benefit from higher clearance and 4WD," according to Jason F.

Insect activity: The regional climate creates favorable conditions for insects, particularly during summer months. Julie P. notes about Cane Creek Park: "Campground has trails and fishing in walking distance. It is always packed. No alcohol permitted." At Lee State Park, the equestrian facilities contribute to seasonal fly populations: "If you have never stayed with horses you can not be prepared for the flies. They were swarms of them."

Tips for camping with families

Swimming options: Many parks have dedicated swimming areas with limited hours. "There is a lake with a swimming area that was also well-maintained and clean, it has a boardwalk that goes around a large portion of the lake that connects the campground with the beach area," reports MaryAnn P. about Cheraw State Park, noting the well-maintained facilities.

Educational opportunities: Andrew Jackson State Park Campground offers historical learning experiences alongside camping. "The park is located approximately 20 miles from Rock Hill and 30 miles from Charlotte so there is plenty to see and do on the days you want to do some sightseeing!" shares Laura A. The park includes a museum and historic schoolhouse that complement outdoor recreation.

Playground access: Multiple campgrounds feature play areas for children. "Playground for kids, little store, friendly staff. Beach swimming area closed due to Covid but looks nice," reported Jeanette M. about Cane Creek Park. Similarly, Nate G. mentioned that Andrew Jackson State Park has "a wonderful playground" where "events are held at an amphitheater by the day use area."

Tips from RVers

Site leveling considerations: Many campsites in the region require significant leveling for RVs. "Got very busy on Friday through the weekend. Nice lake and hiking trails," notes David E. about Cane Creek Campground. At Andrew Jackson State Park, Rachel R. observed, "Our site was very steep, so took a lot to get level, but it was ok."

Space limitations: Several campgrounds have site size restrictions important for larger vehicles. "The park is lovely, with lots of trails and nature. Beautiful wooded setting," says Kathy L. about McDowell Nature Preserve, but cautions "there aren't many sites for RVs and some are not level - hard to get trailer level even with max leveling blocks."
