Available Camping Facilities
When you've finished exploring for the day, settle in for a long night's sleep. Located approximately 1 mile from the visitor center are secluded areas for camping — areas so private that there is often not another person in sight.
Ten backpack campsites in the family campground accommodate up to 6 people each. Campers must register at the visitor center to receive an overnight parking tag.
These campsites are reached by trail, and all supplies must be packed in and carried to the campsites. Firewood is available for purchase at the visitor center and are picked up at the campground area.
Each campsite has a grill, picnic table, and two tent pads. Drinking water and vault toilets are provided.
There is a family campsite located in the group camping area that is accessible for people with limited mobility or disabilities. Please contact the park at 704-853-5375 for any questions about the accessible campsites, including about vehicular access. Please do note reserve an accessible site if no one in your group needs it, unless it is the only site left available when you are making your reservation.
Forgoing the comforts of home is worth it when every stream, tree, and flower seems made just for you.
Larger groups will enjoy fellowship in the backcountry group camping area. Sites 2 to 5 can accommodate 10 to 15 people, while sites 6 to 9 can accommodate up to 25 people.
