Nice campground, park and historic area to explore. Dogs loved the pre-spring walks…read more Friendly staff in the camp store, wood is a tick pricey. They have kayak rentals with all the gear. Camp spots are nice when they are nice, but beware of those that are not level. As of now #34 is a bear of a challenge. We were lucky ot is off season and got to move. Rarely do we have to move a spot, thankful they could accommodate with a small upcharge. Playground is fun, trails are good and it is easily accessible from the interstate across the Stateline in South Carolina.

We camped here over 4th of July weekend. Park staff was very friendly and nice. There was a golf…read morecart parade, free to participate, the afternoon of the 4th. Our RV spot was spacious, but not very level. We did look around at the other spots in the campground and noticed many that required multiple cinder blocks and many more that required lots of extra blockage due to being not level to the extreme. The bathhouse was clean and in good condition. Lots of large trees in the campground make it nice and shady, but also make maneuvering a bit challenging depending on the size of your RV/rig and the spot you have booked. Photos of the campground and park were slightly misleading - we thought we could swim in the lake. After checking it out on arrival, we quickly realized it was more of an algae filled pond that would be appropriate for fishing but dangerous for anything else. The water was stagnant, not overflowing or moving down to the creek bed below which was mostly dry. Lots of fishing gear was left behind on the shore area with some fish hooks abandoned in places you'd probably be walking if you tried to swim. The building in that area was in poor condition with broken windows. Hiking trails were available within the campground but Kings Mountain itself is a very long distance away. We have smaller dogs, not up for that distance and we didn't opt for a hike that long to actually get to Kings Mountain. The town of Kings Mountain itself is a 10 minute drive away. Also worth noting wi-fi is available in the campground store only, and there is almost NO cell signal in the rest of the park. I had a hard time just downloading a kindle book, which requires hardly any bandwidth. If you're looking for a remote woodsy location and you are up for the challenge of a site that is not level, here's your spot!

We arrived with a wheelchair (for my husband) which had a flat tire. The folks at the park…read moregraciously offered us a wheelchair and then took us for an escorted tour on their ATV. Ranger Jim was incredibly knowledgeable and so kind, as was Officer Caleb. We learnt so much which wouldn't have been possible without their help. This park is so important to US history, and its staff demonstrate true Southern hospitality. Thanks so much, Nicola Tarrant-Hoskins and Gary Hisel

This was a really nice and easy hike. I did the loop, counter-clockwise so I got the reward of the…read moreobelisk marker near the end. If you just want to see that, walk clockwise. This is a smoothly paved 1.5 mile loop trail that covers the ground where the Battle of Kings Mountain took place on October 7, 1780. Considered by Thomas Jefferson, "The turn of the tide of success" this decisive military battle pitched the Patriot forces, known as the Overmountain Men, against the American loyalist militia that was led by British Major Patric Ferguson. Ferguson was killed in the battle and nearly 700 of the Loyalists were taken prisoner. I would consider this slightly harder than easy as there are some inclines. There are benches and captions and a telephone audio tour along the way, so plenty of opportunities for breaks. The site was designated a National Military Park in 1931 and before that, hosted major commemorative events including a speech by President Herbert Hoovery in 1930. There is a gift shop (of course) with mementoes. They also host a breech-loading rifle demonstration if that's something that interests you. Lots of parking and plenty of shade.
