I am trying to figure out if this person is not remembering the event well or if this is a place I just don't know about.
I met a woman in Columbia, SC. I told her where I lived (in Union County just south of Charlotte) and she said, "Oh, I have only ever been there once for a weekend camp when I was a teen. We went to an old plantation type house on a lot of land with a large stream running though it that you could actually take a raft out on to. We toured the house and then at night we sat around in the house and told ghost stories, sponsored by the hosts" (dossents maybe?)
I told her I had never heard of such a place but that it sounded very interesting.
She may have been talking about Rose Hill Plantation, a well-known State Park, in Union County, SC. The Plantation property is within the Sumter National Forest and there is a nature trail that leads from the plantation down to the Tyger River. Could be the place she is talking about.
I have observed that some folks consider parts of SC as far south as Columbia to be "just south of Charlotte".
I've also observed that folks often get their Norths & Souths confused when it comes to the Carolinas.
Hope this helps.

Reason: typo
No, she could have been talking about somewhere in Union County close to Cane Creek outside of Waxhaw. There are so many places in Union County - that could have been a camp just like she described. I'll do some research
Let me know if you find out anything. Meanwhile, I will see if it was the Union County, SC local.
