Kings Mountain National Military Park

Know Before You Go

Please note that battlefield trail is 1.5 miles and includes large changes in elevation that may prove difficult to navigate for people with mobility issues. To accommodate this, the park has paved paths that make it easier to traverse. The path has several monuments dedicated to the battle and the soldiers that fought here close to 250 years ago that one can enjoy in a park secluded from major roadways and cities. Camping amenities are also available for those looking to stay in the South Carolina State Parks section of the area, just outside of the National Park Service's jurisdiction. Reservations must be made in advance through the State Parks' website if one desires to use the camping amenities.
