The Fort Mill area is a year-round RV destination, but activity peaks with the Carowinds operating calendar and warm-weather lake use. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable temperatures for hiking, boating, and touring Charlotte, and generally the lightest crowds at the county parks. Summer is hot and humid, with afternoon thunderstorms common. Charlotte regularly has highs of 90 degrees or more during summer months, and 90-degree heat can arrive as early as April or as late as October. Waterfront sites at Ebenezer Park and Allison Creek Park book earliest for summer weekends and holidays, so long-range reservation windows help. Winter is mild by North American standards but wet. Days almost always warm above freezing, and on average only one or two days each winter fail to reach above 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Carowinds runs a seasonal schedule with limited winter operating dates, so travelers building a trip around the park should confirm operating days before booking. The KOA, Crown Cove, Ebenezer Park, Allison Creek Park, and Camp Wilderness all operate year-round.
