"Over all, if you want the peace and quiet in the North Carolina foot hills with your furry friend and have a good time. This is the place to be."
"The gravel at our site was painful for our dog’s feet and they had a hard time walking on it. The dog parks made up for this! There are multiple large dog parks located at the campground."
$40 - $350 / night
"The tent sites are clustered together next to a stream in the woods, providing tons of shade on hot days. "
"The close proximity to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure is an added bonus. The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful, but unobtrusive. I highly recommend Emberglow Campground."
"Following highways signs looking for this campground I didn’t know what to expect. I was hoping for a tent site but wasn’t sure what I would find."
$12 - $28 / night
"The family campground is a short distance further inside the park on the left side(approx 2 miles) marked by a small brown sign...and is situated at 1400 ft elevation. "
"This campground is one way and exits into a trailhead parking area. There was one site that was in the parking area, would not be my first choice. Shaded sites with picnic tables and fire rings."
"It was perfectly level and roomy with trees behind us. The bathrooms/showers are modern and spotless. We could only get a two night reservation, but that was enough."
"Golf carts are a must to get around since the campground is so big! The kids enjoyed the water park, putt putt, gem mining, fishing, crafts and tie dying shirts."
$40 - $45 / night
"ICC is a nice place just over the NC border on I85 in SC. Very close to Charlotte and Greenville areas. Lots of southern pines provided shade."

$25 - $150 / night

Clean bathhouse and restrooms"

"Great Wi-Fi, level sites, and easy access to everything you could need."
"pretty close to your neighbors. we did end up getting evacuated cause of rain which was a bummer."
"The sites are near the River so you get to enjoy the running water sound as you sleep or relax. Can let your kids ride their bikes around with out worry and they are never out of site."
ScoutA nice little campground off the beaten path. Sited are pretty small, barely fit our van. Bathroom and showers are sufficient. T Mobile service is pretty slow. Very beautiful area!
ScoutWe stayed here for the weekend in May of 25’. The spot was easy to pull my 26’ camper in and was pretty level. Good access to 30A power/water/sewer and a serene creek just a few yards from your front door. The hosts left a great book with all the local spots on the picnic table. Between hiking on the east and west rims of Linville Gorge and mountain biking the Fonta Flora trail we didn’t spend a ton of time at the campsite but it was very a nice place to make basecamp for our adventures. Would definitely recommend.
GuideWe were here one night. CG is nice, they have some seasonal sites and a lot of other sites. There are some new sites along the pond on the lower level. They also had buddy sites, perfect for a 2+ campers to gather as a group. Nice dog park, nice playground.
We would stay here again.
ScoutMy family are currently living in a 5th wheel and I am trying to find a cheap yearly membership somewhere I think this app will help me.
GuideLoved this place by the river! Walking trails surround the CG and high quality mountain bike trails nearby. The owner is a cool guy and staff are friendly. Lots of different sites to choose from (of course riverside are in demand). The sites themselves vary in privacy and space but overall acceptable. Fire pits, picnic bench, some sites with bear boxes, warm showers, clean toilets, tent pads, very shady, firewood and ice available, WiFi only available near a trailhead parking lot, catch and release fishing. Most visitors are here for mountain biking from what I could tell. I do however have one critique: the morning I checked out a tree cutter company came out at 8 AM to cut some trees down right next to me. I understand the need to maintain forestry but it would’ve been nice to have a heads up a day before. Other than that I still highly recommend this place for camping and enjoying the National Forest surrounding you.
GuideSpring camping at Davidson River is always good, usual intermittent rain storms but great location. Campground is close to Brevard and easily accessible via a bike / walking trail with a new bridge over the Davidson. The Hub is just down the road, usually has a food truck, always has cold beer and a great bike shop. Some camping supplies as well. Site 037 in Apple Loop has a nice long parking spot with a large grass area. Decent privacy, site 036 to the left is kind of close, site 039 to the right is buffered by trees, brushes.
ScoutSpent 10 days here and was amazing. You will never find a nicer camp host and the spot was immaculate. Easy access with ducks(with babies). geese.turkeys and a large assortment of birds. Had a really nice time here and is very close to Asheville and Black Mountain. Highly recommend

Scouta two mile long gravel road that parallels with a beautiful river with a bunch of pull offs to camp or hangout at. will be coming back again soon.
GuideWe often camp in and around the Linville Gorge area, mostly in the primitive campsites down in the Gorge on Linville River.
We stayed before Hurricane Helene but haven't been back since then.
There are primitive sites along the foot trail (Linville Gorge Trail) but you still need to call to let the park ranger/main office know when you're planning to camp and provide how many people will be camping.
There are not great tent sites along the trail since it's at the bottom of the Gorge (not much flat ground and rocky). But there are some nice spots further south from Linville Falls. We usually hammock camp and trees hanging has more options.
Hiking out is moderate to hard as it's straight up through switchbacks and good elevation gain.
Pack everything out and practice LNT in this area. You may also be able to trout fish in Linville River if it's trout season and you're licensed. Speckled and Rainbow trout are beautiful in this area. Most fall within the 8-12 inch range. Check bait restrictions. It's almost always no live bait allowed when we've camped there.
