We recently attended a 4 day national JR ice hockey tournament next to Matthews and stayed at the Tom Johnson RV park at Concord. It was about a 15-20 minute straight shot drive on the bypass to the arena.
After checking RV Park Reviews for the Charlotte area, I wasn't impressed with any of the rest of them. The Johnson facility is next door to the Charlotte Motor Speedway and it is a large well kept facility.

I agree Tom Johnson has the easiest access to the Extreme Ice Center during peak traffic times.

We were there during the week of the Food Lion car show at the speedway. It was a straight shot from the campground intersection to the bypass and we traveled past Matthews to the Extreme Ice Center during rush hour both ways and had no holdups. Traffic was heavier during rush hour, but no stop and go.

Friday Nights is stop and go between I-77 and Matthews on 485. Now that I think of it I-85 is stop and go at rush hour between TJ and I-77...so no way to avoid it on a Friday unless you get in town before 3pm.

IN SC check out Andrew Jackson State Park. Not far into SC and just below Mathews I think.

It's actually south of Pineville, but there are backroads to get you to Matthews. Forgot about that one...good call!

Seems to me that Charlotte would be a great place to open a new campground. I've seen similar threads so many times I can't count.

Back when my son lived there we wanted to take the RV for a visit but struck out when looking for a CG close by.

Yeah, but the cost of building one is the ticker. There are some decent ones, but you gotta be out of the city. The further you drive, the better chance you have of finding a nicer one (depending on ammenities).

I like fort wilderness near carowinds.
