Cotton Patch Gold Mine & Campground is located in Stanly County, in the south central portion of North Carolina in the gentle rolling hills of the ancient Uwharrie Mountain range of the state's Piedmont region. The county seat of Albemarle is 42 miles northeast of Charlotte, 115 miles southwest of Raleigh, 125 miles east of the North Carolina mountains, and less than 200 miles west of the North Carolina coast. It truly can be described as an area of "accessible isolation," near large market areas, yet not hampered by industrial areas threatening to smother it. There are seven other incorporated communities in the county and several unincorporated communities. The former include Badin, Locust, New London, Norwood, Oakboro, Richfield and Stanfield, while the latter include Aquadale and Misenheimer. Cotton Patch is a family friendly gold mine. Come out and prospect for gold... no matter what level of expertise you are, Cotton Patch has something for everyone.
