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
