Situated in Waxhaw, North Carolina, the park offers a peaceful escape near the South Carolina border. The environment is characterized by lush rolling hills and dense forest canopies that provide plenty of shade for travelers.

Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

History buffs can explore the Museum of the Waxhaws or take a walk across the iconic overhead pedestrian bridge. For a unique cultural excursion, the JAARS Museum of the Alphabet is nearby, while several local vineyards offer a taste of North Carolina’s regional wine scene and relaxing afternoon tastings.

1st time camping here, stayed a weekend. Paved roads, both paved & gravel lots with power. There was a good mixture of RVs & tent campers. They do have cabins for rent too. Two bathhouses. Love the convenience of their camp store, the kids liked getting a ice cream treat, they have a few items to purchase if you should forget something & a big plus that they sell bags of ice should you need to continue to keep your cooler food cold. Campground staff were visible from time to time should you need something & it gave a sense of security. A gate at the front entrance that closed at night & a code provided should you need to get in later. Kids loved fishing, riding their bikes, scooters, etc on the paved road & trails, free putt-putt, several small playgrounds on site, open field to fly their kite, and the Day Use side on the other side of the lake has entertainment. Pet friendly. We would stay here again.

Beautiful place. Definitely a hidden gem in Waxhaw! They have pedal boats, kayaks, mini golf and a beach. You can pay $5 per person to have access to all activities or $2 each.
