OTHER CAMPING INFORMATION

In 2008, Gaston County Parks and Tourism installed 80 new campsites. These new sites have 50 amp breakers.  If you need 30 amp service, you WILL need an adapter.  (None of the sites, old or new, will include sewer hook-ups)  A “few” campsites are currently available with “water only” (no electricity).  If you are able to use your own generator or plan to be tent camping “SPACE” will not be a problem.

For “overflow” camping, the closest campsites are in the Kings Mountain State Park (about a 30 minute drive from the Hamfest site) and reservations for these sites may be made in advance (must stay at least two nights) by contacting the park directly.  Information about camping may be found at www.southcarolinaparks.com

Moss Lake Campground in Kings Mountain does offer some full hookup sites and is about 20 minutes from the hamfest site.  Their website is here  http://www.cityofkm.com/lakeoffice_0.asp
