McDowell Campground

Stayed here for 2 nights earlier this year. It’s a really good campground. They have nice tent spots, and it was also a great alternative given that Charlotte hotel prices are annoyingly high (at least from my experience).

I will say that the shower handles were super weird, but at the end of the day it’s still a shower with warm water, and that’s all I can really ask for in a campground that was only $28/night in a decent location. They also have laundry as well.

Great park for RVing while visiting Charlotte. Friendly staff and a very well maintained campground. Electronic gate security and a large clean bathhouse with laundry facility.

The Tyler Goldsmith, realtor team in Charlotte NC strives to be the best realtors in Charlotte NC. With that we we have our annual camping trip, a McDowell, Nature, Preserve Campground has a private field to it, but also very assessable to and from Charlotte NC. They have bathrooms, showers, and top camp site locations on their massive acreage park

Part of McDowell nature preserve the camp ground has different kind of camping sites. The ones with wooden camping deck are the most convenient to setup a tent. The bathrooms are clean and they also sell firewood and ice at the site. The modern sites have electrical outlet and running water. There are RV and camper sites too and they are good at enforcing quiet hoursm

Nice campground, clean, nice staff. Lots of walking trails. Close to Lake Wylie. Reasonably priced. My only complaint is that check in is at 3:00. We got there a little early because we had to get out of other site at 11. Staff tried to accommodate us as best they could with the policy of 3:00 check in. If anyone reads this reserve early this place is popular. For good reason.

Seemed like a nice campground but pretty much luck of the draw as to who is camping there. This time there is a large group partying and it is 11:30 and no end in sight. Sheriff was aware of the large group and ignored the issue and left for the night.

Camped here 4 nights. Very shady and clean. Some of the sites aren't level so be prepared. Only 2 sites have sewer hookups but there is a dump station. Staff was very friendly. Shower and bathrooms are very nice. Stayed at site R3.
