Great place
Larger camp ground than expected. Enjoyed our stay.
Kings Mountain — Kings Mountain State Park
Amazing place to stay
My husband and I come out to camp at kings mountain state park often and we love it if we decide to go camping or to go out to walk some trails with our dog this is the place we always come to the park rangers are all nice respectful and the keep the place clean and help to make your stay amazing. They also answer any questions you may have about the park like things to do while you are there and to enjoy your stay.
Kings Mountain — Kings Mountain State Park
needs some TLC
1st thing was i received an email telling me to check in at trading post and had the wrong address. we arrived as well as 2 other campers at the wrong address and then had to drive a mile or so to turn around. The trading post check in is in the campground!! The park is very pretty with all the trees, but the campsites themselves are very unlevel and laid out very awkwardly. The electric and water are in odd spots on each site. Luckily we were on one of the rare fairly level sites. The road into the campground is narrow, hilly and windy. We were able to do it in our 32 foot class A, but luckily no one was coming the other direction. This would be a very nice park if they spent some money on the individual campsites.
Sesquicentennial State Park Campground
Cute park convenient to Columbia
We stayed in loop 2 at site 48 for 2 nights at the end of April. Chose this campground because we had an event in Columbia that we had to attend on our way back from a trip to Florida so we needed a place to stay for a few nights. The site was level with a gravel drive and parking area. Lots of pines all around but the site was clear enough for easy parking. No sewer hookups. There was water but we had some trouble getting the pressure just right. Really good tv signal since the campground is right outside of the city. Only a 20-30 minute drive down the highway. The part of town you go through to get there is a bit rundown (not bad by any means but you wouldn’t know there was a park nearby). The park itself it quite lovely. There’s a small lake that rents paddle boats and kayaks. A nice camp store. Cute park and splash pad. I actually wish we could have stayed longer. We have family nearby and will probably stay here next time we visit. I would recommend visiting if you want a quiet low key getaway.
Kings Mountain — Kings Mountain State Park
Meets standards
Lovely shaded campground. Boat rentals at Lake York. National Military Battlefield nearby. WiFi available at the Trading Post, but not at campsites. Some sites have cell service, site #48 does not for Verizon. Site #48 is not level but not bad. Park is tidy and clean. Quiet on a Wednesday.
Sesquicentennial State Park Campground
Very beautiful and quiet
Many trails to hike on and many beautiful sites close to town but far enough for minimal traffic sounds
Cane Creek Park
Awesome place
Very quiet and beautiful campground
Kings Mountain — Kings Mountain State Park
Big sites in the woods with water and electric
Large sites, mostly level, with table and fire ring. Decent bath/shower buildings. Large day use area with pavilions, tables, grills and playgrounds. Cute camp store.
Kings Mountain — Kings Mountain State Park
The grounds are pretty but needs at lot of updating
Check in is at the trading post. They have a small amount of camping equipment but very little grocery items, mostly just snacks and coffee. WI-FI is available there. There are tables outside for you to use but if it's raining I suggest going to the shelter just up the hill,#2. You can get 2 bars there. Verizon was 1-2 bars depending on location. There was plenty of OTA TV channels. All of the bath houses were clean but the ones by sites 103 and 7 had been remodeled and had heat and hand dryers. The other two didn't appear to have heat and there was no hand dryers, so take a towel. Hand soap was available at all. Every site needs more gravel not only on the pad but around the picnic table. Many were like site 43 which had very little gravel so when it rains, you would be in mud. The dump stations also needs a lot more gravel. The second one from the campground was very muddy. Currently site 36 has a large mulch mound at the back. Sites 29 and 46 didn't have a cover for the electrical post. As previously stated, you must really check the site description or plan on bringing lots of levelers. Most sites were shady. There is NO privacy at any site but the worst were the ones next to pull-thru. The hiking trails were very well marked and maintained.
Kings Mountain — Kings Mountain State Park
Nice tree’d campground Peaceful but close
We enjoyed this campground, but most sites were as close together as dome commercial/independent campgrounds that aside,the one recently remodeled facility was great, the other older facilities were a bit lacking. Sites were mostly not level, but also not too obtuse
Cell coverage not the greatest, but managed 6 or 7 meg down on Visible and T-mobile
Lovely for Change of Leaves. Friendly staff & hosts
Sesquicentennial State Park Campground
Beautiful quiet camping
The staff was very welcoming and helpful, large plots. Mostly quiet unless there’s something going on in the city, only downside is you can’t swim in the lake but other than that I enjoyed my stay
Yates Family Camping
Not dependable
We made a reservation well in advance but the owner decided to cancel our confirmed reservation to accommodate a previous renter who decided to stay longer. THANK YOU YATES FAMILY! Obviously there was no consideration if we were left without a place to stay. Did they offer help finding another campground, NO. Did they offer to compensate us, NO.
Kings Mountain — Kings Mountain State Park
Wonderful family campground
Great local family campground with lots of great hiking trails.
Kings Mountain — Kings Mountain State Park
Lake Wateree state park is Awesome !
They have two campgrounds, newest has 50amp service with sewer hook up and mostly drive thru campsites, but out in the open with no shade trees. Older campground is heavily wooded with beautiful forest and some sites have water frontage to tie up your boat. 30 amp service with no sewer, all sites are paved and pretty level. All the bath houses are nice and clean. Beautiful place to camp! One of our favorite places to camp!
Sesquicentennial State Park Campground
Friendly, cozy, clean campground
Beautiful campground. Everyone is spaced apart, not side by side. Has a splash pad and kayak rentals. Host was very friendly and helpful.
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.
Lee State Park Campground
Kinda buggy
Lots of sand and gnats and deerflys too. That’s the bad. About half the sites have full hookup some very large sites. Whole campground very wooded ( no Starlink here). About 3 bars cell with Verizon. Pretty neat campground with lots of history. The bugs are seasonal.
Kings Mountain — Kings Mountain State Park
Nice!
In full disclosure. We bought a camper and decided on this campground as our maiden voyage. It’s close to the dealer we bought the camper from, and had available sites on short notice.
We’ve tent camped here before and enjoyed our stay and will this time as well.
I’ve never towed a camper before and I’m still learning. Any sites that have a moderate slope can be a challenge. Especially to a newbie.
I’m this case we made it work using leveling chocks on one side of the camper. No complaints. We wish we made a better site selection that’s more level. Lol.
A nice quiet place that’s well maintained, but with minimal amenities. We like the quiet and hiking trails and enjoy our stays here.
Carowinds Camp Wilderness Resort
Nice campground
Nice campground close to Carowinds... Quiet and family friendly. Stayed there a couple of times. Pull thru sites are mostly shaded.
Sesquicentennial State Park Campground
Great Place
It was a great place, limited things to do. Great geocaching area
Lee State Park Campground
Tranquil park !
Awesome park with many trails and a pond for the kids to swim!
Lee State Park Campground
Nice and quite
Was a nice experience. Quite and friendly neighbors. Sites were gravel and level. Bath house were clean and well maintained. Enjoyed my stay.
Carowinds Camp Wilderness Resort
convenient to Carowinds, decent campground
Older 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.
Carowinds Camp Wilderness Resort
Convenience
My husband and I stayed a night. The sites are tight but there's shade and since we have to be close to the Charlotte airport it was perfect. Far enough not to have super loud plane noise but a very easy drive.
Sesquicentennial State Park Campground
Nice, but could use some updates
We camped here March 6-10. The park is in Columbia SC, and is a great choice for families who may want to do things outside the park. The park is super close to the Riverbanks Zoo. We stayed during a rainy time, which was fine for us since we didn’t need to entertain kids that trip. The campground is pretty small, but average for an SC state park. There are a few “improved” sites with full hookups, but they are all pretty close together, and don’t have much privacy. We stayed in the 2nd loop, where the campsites were more spaced out, and had more trees. Most of the sites are sand, and not very level. A few have gravel and are level. Most sites would be really difficult for a larger trailer or motor home do the the size of the sites. The campground restrooms are the cleanest I’ve ever seen! The campground hosts were always checking and cleaning the sites and restrooms (We did go during the week, in March). The amenities are few, but would be super fun in summer. There’s a splash pad, and canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards to rent. There’s a very small lake, but no swimming is allowed. There are a couple of “hiking” trails that are more like nice walks. There’s also a bike trail that we didn’t check out.

1st family tent camping trip
Great all around experience. Myself,the wife and boys all had a great time. Bath houses were clean with no issues. Camping store was stocked with all your needs with a very nice associate. Definitely will be returning, hopefully in January after the holidays...
Cane Creek Park
Great family atmosphere
I have been going to this campground since I was a kid. I always enjoy it. I started taking my nephew a few years ago and he loves it too. This past month we had a big group with us for their first time and they want to go back.
