Camp North End Charlotte, a Visual Guide

Lately, I’ve been feeling trapped.  Let me out!!!!  Out of my kitchen, out of my house, just out – anywhere!  I used to demand international travel to satisfy my wanderlust.  Now a visit outside of my zip code sounds like a wild ride.  I know I’m not alone.

Exploring the Crossroads District

We’re all bored of our routines, and the hubs and I have been looking for anything to break up the monotony.  So this week, on the one day the sun came out for a wee bit, we pulled the kids out of virtual school and hit the road. They were thrilled… a car ride?!?!  Our adventure took us all the way to Camp North End just outside of downtown/uptown Charlotte.  It was a whole fifteen minutes from my South Charlotte home, but it felt like a whole new world.  One much hipper than the one I’m used to.

About Camp North End Charlotte

Open since 2017, I am ashamed that until this week, I hadn’t made the visit.  And while the last year or so has been a wash, when it comes to visiting Camp North End Charlotte there should have been an exception.  With ample outdoor seating, space to spread out for days, amazing food stalls, small mom & pop businesses, and delightful art everywhere, anyone within driving distance should make the excursion.

With 3 million square feet of development planned over the better part of two decades, the mix of office, retail, restaurants, public spaces, events, hotels, and residential development are adding up to a vibrant urban neighborhood center.  While COVID has curtailed some of the excitement coming out of Camp North End, there is still plenty of opportunity for some family (or grownup) fun.
