This park is very nice, easy in and out. There are gas pumps at the entrance so we were able to fill our motorhome while checking in. The store is well stocked. If you want you can order takeout sandwiches, salads, pizza or wings and they deliver to your site. We did not go into the bar but it looked nice. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We arrived here and everything looked great...until we were escorted to our lot. There was a big rig behind us, with a truck parked on the side, along with 2 large motorcycles. The first night, these folks were in and out on those motorcycles, with music blaring, until 1am. Then, at 6:30am, they cranked them up, let them run for a bit then tore out of there. Someone's dogs started barking and it sounded like 2 grizzly bears! We did not sleep very well at all. The laundry was super expensive and those people behind us were drunk, a good part of the time. We probably won't go back there either! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We came here to be close to Charlotte for a job interview. We are relocating from Boston. This is our first KOA and are hoping to find an alternative long-term park. The daily/temporary sites look nice.....but long-term sites are not so great. Dirt/Rocky/no concrete pads....staff is great and the neighbors too, I guess we were expecting more. The monthly rate is $425 + elec., the daily rate is $45 per night. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Easy access off I-77. The staff was friendly and helpful. Sites are fairly level, many that you can pull-thru to enter. Many sites have some shade. Clean campground, but not well tended. Paved roads, but the camp sites need more gravel, and leveling, i.e. tree roots and mud are issues. This is typical of a KOA with amenities. Bathrooms were clean and well lit. Free morning coffee. Pricey campground and more rules than the IRS. We might stay here again. We camped 3 days in a 29 ft trailer, with a slide-out & paid $45 per night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Our family often uses this campground as a base for visits to the nearby Carowinds theme park (we have season passes). We always find it very clean and well maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful as well. We appreciate the recently added dog run and our kids always enjoy the jumping pillow. Free WiFi access is available and works well in our experience. The daily rate is a bit high even with the KOA Value Kard discount and we would expect to see cable TV available at this price but we will definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very pricey for its location, however, if you're staying in the Charlotte/Fort Mill area you don't have much choice. They pretty much have the market cornered. The site is nice and it's clean and the staff are very pleasant, especially Bob who spent a lot of time on his golf cart keeping the place in order. We stayed here almost a month and had to pay the daily rate but had no choice. If it hadn't been out of necessity we would never stay here at their daily rate. There is nothing special about the location and there is nothing particularly special about the site other than it is very well maintained but we would expect that from a KOA site. We would stay here again if we had to stay in the Charlotte area but the high tab put a damper in an otherwise pleasant stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground's best feature is its proximity to Charlotte, NC and all of the activities the city has to offer. The pool is older and in need of some TLC. When we were there a woman was swimming in the pool with her dog. The management did come out and kindly ask her to remove the dog and she complied. This is a great campground to stay at if you are visiting people in or around Charlotte but not a "destination" campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great overnight spot. Easy on & off Route 77. The staff there is very nice and the store is well stocked to include a bar, a Blimpie's sandwhich shop and a gas station. Pool is very nice and the park is well kept. Not much grass, but ample shade. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park was OK for an overnight stop; we reserved a pull through site for our truck and travel trailer. The site was not level and all gravel. There is not a lot of grass around here. The kids loved the jumping pillow and playground. It appears that they are in the process of renovating the pool area. Overall a decent layover but definately not for an extended stay with kids. The staff was friendly and the gas station was one of the lowest around town. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a popular camping location for those needing quick access to south Charlotte and the surrounding area (especially race fans!) or just a quick getaway from the usual routine. The campground's main draw is it's proximity to Carowinds, Charlotte, great shopping, and of course racing. The evening staff is very friendly and efficient. The main purpose for my review is to inform those that are planning to stay at this campground to be on the lookout for electrical problems on the 50 amp full hook-up sites. We tried various sites, especially those in the vicinity of 64, 65, and 66 to find that the 50 amp connections were not operating properly. Connecting resulted in our EMS (Energy Management System) only powering 1/2 of our motor coach and appearing on the display as a 30 amp supply which they were not. Please take the time to test your site before settling in for the first evening. We were told that the management would take care of the electrical issues "in the next few weeks" before the start of the busy season. However, for our brief 3-day stay, we were relocated to the 130s area which did not exhibit the same 50 amp electrical trouble. The on-site staff, deserves a huge pat on the back for turning a problematic start into a great stay with a smile and by going the extra mile to make our stay perfectly delightful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The campground was ok. The sites were level and gravel. There is not much grassy areas. There is a fenced in pet area. It looks like they are in the process of putting some sort of bench inside the pet run to sit. They advertised free wi-fi and what I found terribly annoying is when logging on they provide a disclaimer regarding their wi-fi and it states because it is free the quality cannot be guaranteed. What the heck is with that? In my opinion, they are simply advertising wi-fi as an added feature to their campground. The fact is that it does not work and if you get lucky enough to get online it is extremely slow There is no cable tv (except in the office) It is not distributed to the sites. Their staff stated they cannot get the cable company to come in and install cable. This place is ok for an overnight stay but I would not stay any longer than that. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is easy to find from the Interstate. The interior roads are paved and the sites are gravel, adequate length and width. Wifi was acceptable except at times it slowed down, possibly as more users logged on. Staff is friendly and helpful. Only problem was at the first site we were assigned my electrical tester showed a faulty ground in the 50 amp plug. In checking other sites I found two more faulty ones before finding one that was OK. The staff promptly reassigned us to that site and said they would put the other sites on the maintenance list. This is a good park for 1 or 2 nights, but somewhat expensive. We would stay here again, however recommend checking the electrical outlets before connecting. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The office is in the Exxon station. The wi-fi is free and very mediocre. Some of the sites are very good, long, grass yard, concrete patio and some are not very good, back to back and very close together. We were in the back close to the Haunted House and the site was very good and level. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here staging for the October race a Lowes. A bit far from Charlotte but we had a nice level spot with friendly neighbors. I towed my motorcycle here and rode all over the state , if you are a bike rider, its a nice 2 day trip to the dragon and back. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate is too high for this KOA for not having cable and wi-fi that doesn't work well. Sites are stones and spotty grass. Ok for overnight stay, but couldn't possibly see spending more than one night here for this price. Conveniently located off interstate with gas station as check in area, nice place to let dog run-fenced in. People are very friendly at check in, just not worth the price for what you get.

Expensive campground with not a lot to offer. The pool was quite dirty. The tiles had not been cleaned in a while. The pool furniture is falling apart.

We stayed here for one night, and as a one night stop over, it was perfect. The staff was very polite and helpful. The campground has a great playground (with an awesome jumping pillow) which my kids loved and they didn't want to leave. The pool was large and clean. The bathrooms were clean and they had good sized showers. The campground seemed to be 50% permanent/extended stays. They only thing we didn't like was that many of the sites were gravel/cinder with very little grass. We were lucky and got one of the few lots that had a pad and grass (lots 134, 135, 136). Sites are very close. We would stay in this campground again. We travel with two small children. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Prices seemed high for a campground with poor wi-fi, and mostly cinder campsites. The pool furniture should all be thrown away. It was stained and warn out. The biggest problem is the lack of grass. Not really comfortable to sit outside your RV. The staff was friendly, no problem there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice KOA park, they have primarily gravel sites but are very level for the most part. It is very convenient for the Charlotte area and has a lot of amenities for the kids with a large pool and a jumping pillow. Most all of the sites have large shade trees which helps a lot. I believe that they really pack the campers in and they have NO pull through sites on race weekends so make sure before you go. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The first campground we have had trouble with appropriate site for motorhome. The first site we were escorted to was surrounded by trees,and it was impossible to back-in our coach. The second site did not have 50 amp service. The third site was the only one they had left for a 39' coach and was solid dirt with large tire track ruts. Would only recommend the large pull-through sites. Most campsites are back to back sites and very small for large rigs. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent site. Great location one exit from Carowinds and MUCH CHEAPER than the Carowinds campground. Also a shuttle is offered from the KOA to Carowinds, but unhooking the RV and boondocking in the Carowinds bus lot is a much better solution for an RV. The lot is even much closer to the main gate than the auto lot. Plenty to do with the kids at the campground. The star of the show is the "jumping pillow". This is an amazing feature that adults and kids alike enjoyed. I will look for other sites with a jumping pillow in the future. The pool was very clean. Not too much chlorine like some other campgrounds. While "mature" staff were relegated to more menial duties, the younger staff were a bit less customer centric, thus the 9 out of 10. On-site Blimpies and pizza with discounts for both. VERY GOOD FREE COFFEE for campers. We will seek this campground out again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Used as an overnight stop on Monday, Memorial Day. Campground is clean but sites are very close together. Most sites are gravel and shaded. There is a clean pool, clean bathouses, playground, and a giant bouncing "pillow" for the kids. There is a camp store with a Blimpies, a bar and grill, and a gas station on the property. I am sure the campground is a great place to stay for race fans. I give it a 6 because I think it was overpriced (I don't have the KOA discount card) for just an overnight stop.

The people at the check-in counter were nice and helpful. They escorted us to our site. I was disappointed that they didn't have cable but that was my fault for not reading. The Wi-Fi worked great. We were close to the road and it sounded like the race track was outside every night. If you stay ask for a site away from the entrance. We needed to get to downtown Charlotte every day for classes and the location worked for us. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Spent a week here while checking out my new RV before hitting the road. Very noisy campground with a lot of permanent residents with noisy trucks continuously driving in and out of the grounds. Also, there is a bar on site and on weekends the drunks with their souped up cars are screeching in and out and blaring the so-called music from their radios. Would not stay there again.

This campground was our first nightmare! RV's were squeezed into tiny places. Sitting
outside our travel trailer, we were less than 10 feet away from the RV beside us! There was no privacy or peace of any kind here. Sites were extremely unlevel. We were unable to have a campfire because we were so close. Registration was inside a convenience store with no room! No place to park while registering. Only 22 sites have full hook up. This park was run by teenage boys who spent their time zooming around on 4 wheelers and golf carts. We heard lots of complaints while we were there. It was overpriced and very run down. Down the road we found a nicer campground that we will remember for our next trip. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Typical overpriced KOA, rude staff, unlevel sites and DOUBLE the price of any other park in the area. We cut our stay short and stayed only one night. Even the laundry was overpriced. Don't stay unless desperate. Other parks in the area were much friendlier, half the price and had better sites. We camped here in a camper.

This place is still very scary....I drove out to just look at it and you had to pass through an industrial construction zone to get there....Many of the old delipadated buildings of the the old PTL complex are still there...broken out windows...overgrown castles....like a ghost town....looks like a good number of full timers and storage spots....would not recommend.

One bathhouse working. Pine trees weeping sap all over everything. Pine limbs falling all over too. This park is falling apart. They are there just for the money. This park is not what it used to be when the 700 club had it. If you have an old unit and want a cheap place to park this would be fine. But for those who have new units and care about their finish I do not recommend. Some sites flood when it rains. The grass in the park itsself gets cut maybe once every three months.The black ants and spiders are free. It seems no-one in this area can build a park for the nice units. You are not allowed to swim there. The recreation center is not opened. No tennis court access and the water park is closed and falling down. I found they have changed names several times. They used to be called Radisson Grand Resort Campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
