Ebenezer Park

We had to be in the area for work at the nuclear plant nearby, but we couldn’t have had a better place to stay. This is a very well-kept and popular county park with people who camp here and plenty people who don’t. We made reservations online. I have to mention there is a 14-day stay limit. We had to arrive earlier than originally planned, so we had to find a different site for a couple nights before our original reservation. The first site was on the first loop of the park and had lake views. It was open and sunny, but I really liked it. The second was on the 4th loop back in the trees. It was more private, shady and the sites were a little more spacious. It is all up to what you want in a campsite. I will have to mention that our site 61 was backed up to the entry road with not enough tree separation to kill the noise of all the big trucks carrying rvs and boats. I would pick the other side of the loop if I were here again. The nice thing about the reserve America system is that you get to see a picture of the site when choosing. Some are more level than others, but I would say the majority are really good.

There is a gate with a code at night which closes at dark. There are nice heated bathrooms and bathhouse, a jungle gym, and a boat launch. No alcohol, but we don’t anyway. We will definitely return when in the area again. I think it’s a gem of a county park and close to everything one could shop for.

We have family and friends in the area and have stayed south of Charlotte in every campground available. This is the best place. No alcohol but it was there. Sadly, it looks like there are fulltime families living there in a few sites, tenting or in trailers. We were there before the time restriction required moving out of the campground for a night in order to stay longer than 14 days. There is a lot of traffic since it's on the lake and there's a boat ramp. Restrooms and showers were clean. The best thing is there are no sites that have sheds or ugly landscaping since it's a county park. Felt very safe and it was easy to launch our kayaks. It is remote. About 25 miles from South Charlotte.
