Best Campgrounds near Rock Hill, SC

345 Reviews

Rock Hill, South Carolina has several good camping spots within driving distance. Iron City Campground in Blacksburg is quiet with full hookups and extras like a big dog park, laundry facilities, and a swimming pool with picnic areas. Kings Mountain State Park isn't far away and offers a more basic camping experience - be prepared for uneven sites that might need some leveling work. The park has lots of hiking trails winding through the woods. Sesquicentennial State Park Campground gives you roomy sites and access to a nice lake, plus clean bathrooms and shower facilities that work well for families with kids. Weather is something to think about - summers get really hot, winters stay pretty mild, and spring or fall camping is usually the most comfortable. Most of these places are easy to reach, though some spots might require a vehicle with higher clearance. You can find both well-equipped and simpler camping options around Rock Hill depending on what you're after.
