Hitching Post Campground

This is the best camping spot! Everyone was so nice and welcoming. We felt extremely safe! The bath house was clean and the surroundings are gorgeous. We've never had such a fun time. The pond fishing was so nice. The frogs and crickets are all you can hear at bedtime. No one was loud or rude in anyway. We will be back every chance we get!

Great location. Close to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure. Had an Ingles very close by. We stayed during the week so we had the whole place pretty much to ourselves, which was nice. Very quiet! The Camp host was incredibly nice. He made sure everything was good without being obtrusive about it. We had full hook up so we didn’t use the bath house but it looked like it had a washer and dryer in it?. Pretty walking trail to a water fall, little creek that went through which the dog and kids loved. Little catch and release fishing pond was nice too. The only thing is that the kids play ground needs some TLC/ work. The slide (plastic) was bent and broken making it unusable- some of the wood on the play center is starting to rot. Other than the play area which if you don’t have kids, won’t matter. Everyone was very friendly and I would come back to stay again the next time we go to Lake lure/Chimney rock.

We recently stayed here and despite the rainy weather our stay was wonderful. The campground itself was quiet and serene with a cute stream running down the middle. It’s nestled in a quiet spot in the mountains; the perfect distance from lake lure and chimney rock. Bathrooms were neat and clean, and the showers were nice and hot. Wagz and his cat Momo were excellent hosts, and the other staff were also very nice and friendly. Overall it was a great place to stake our tent down and we hope to visit again in the future!!

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. It is in a beautiful area by near the lake and secluded enough that it is very quiet and peaceful. The owners were very helpful. The bathhouse was clean, and the sites were clear. We stayed at site 14 in a tent and it was by a creek, the sound of the water running was very peaceful. If by chance you need a store, there is an ingles market near by. A short drive from chimney rock state park. Very affordable rates as well. I would recommend this place.

My wife an I stayed here two weeks in April 2023. We stayed at dozens of campgrounds last year. This one was among our favorites. Truly surrounded by nature. The grounds are a bit Spartan and that’s how we like it! Quiet, beautiful stream running through the grounds. Wild turkeys parade by regularly. The folks running the place are friendly the way us Texans just find natural to be around. The Popsicle lady was a hoot and we enjoyed every minute we had with her! It’s a short drive to Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. Ollie’s grocery store is on the same road a couple miles down the road so it’s very convenient. We spent several days just walking around the trails and enjoying the dense woods and nature. We could hear the wind coming through the valley long before it gets to you. The stars were bright and beautiful. If y’all are looking for a campsite that’s got paved parking slots or the latest amenities including flat screen bathhouse this ain’t that. BUT if you’re looking for a real pleasant campsite far from the rat race and a place you can walk barefoot in a clear stream like a kid again this is it! You won’t regret it! You’re welcome!
