After the battle, Cornwallis's exhausted infantry held the field while Tarleton and his cavalry chased the Americans, capturing hundreds and killing untold others. Loyalists living north of Camden rounded up more patriot prisoners, turning them over to the British. Tarleton's Legion horsemen also seized 150 wagons, along with valuable artillery, muskets, and ammunition.

"The road for some miles was strewed with the wounded and killed. The number of dead horses, broken wagons and baggage scattered on the road, formed a perfect scene of horror and confusion, such was the terror and dismay of the Americans." Charles Stedman, British Commissary Officer

At Rugeley's Mill, a small group of American soldiers rallied and made a valiant stand, but Tarleton drove the patriots from the site. The British cavalry chased the fugitives for a total for 22 miles before Tarleton called off the pursuit and rejoined Cornwallis.
