About Us

 
In 1981 Ted Kline purchased a tract of land at the end of Catawba River road in Old Fort. This land had been used as a campground and it was called Catawba Falls Family Campground since the 70's. Through the years Richard Acrivos, Ted's son in law came by during vacations while he was on active duty in the US Army.  In 1991 Richard and Debbie became partners with Ted and Peggy and in 1998 we decided to purchase Catawba Falls Campground so Ted and Peggy could finally travel. since 1998 Richard and Debbie have been active members of the Old Fort Chamber of Commerce, McDowell Chamber of Commerce, Ruritan Club, VFW and volunteers at Davidson's Fort. Richard is a retired Army First Sergeant. We have over 25 years of repeat customers and now the children of our customers. Pictured below is our son Richard Jr, daughter Kim Combs and her husband Parks our granddaughter Alyssa and of course the good lucking ones are Rick and Debbie.
