"Fire pits you had to walk up to but were away from tents, which I liked. Bathhouse was clean, well lit, pretty warm showers. Campground was very clean and has a lot of amenities."
ScoutVery compact space. Only good for a short stay or to visit the area attractions and only sleep. Not as nice as some of the bigger areas. I should have noticed from the photos.
Not right off the highway so. It is pretty quiet.
The employees are really friendly and helpful.
ScoutGreat for kids and dogs!! Spots are a little hard to find if you aren’t familiar, and there is no septic at each site, but other than that, it’s exactly what you’d expect. Long term and by night rentals. Food trucks on bigger holidays!
ScoutWhat a great experience for the whole family and kids and enjoyed the privacy water was a little cold this time of year but I had a great fire next to the river Under the Stars roasting s'mores
GuideHands down the best KOA we’ve camped.
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.
ScoutCreekside Stayz is a clean, well maintained facility. There is a porta-potty available, or you can use the bathroom/shower across the road at the owner's house for a fee. Water and electricity are available for a fee. (If you park on the grass, also a fee...)
The general area is on the edge of town, so there are buildings around you. You are on a narrow strip of land between a road and the creek. There are four named camp sites. "Del Linnea" has a glamping setup, "Happy Camper" has a permanent travel trailer, and the one between them "Rio Relaxing" is large enough for an RV or a travel trailer. From what I could see, any of these would be good.
The fourth camp site, "Rio Rustic" is where I pitched my tent. It is the closest to the road. My vehicle was 10 paces off the road. It was 40 paces or less from the road to the creek. So on one hand, I was camping next to a creek. On the other, I was camping on the edge of town next to a road that had traffic somewhat late and then again early in the morning. So I really can't recommend "Rio Rustic".
ScoutEasy to reserve a spot and tent section had lots of choice. No electric at tent spot but water on every site. WiFi!
ScoutEasy to access in a vehicle several campers campsites available Lake is calm and clean for water recreation. Has the portable restroom and plenty of firewood.
ScoutOut of the way and probably would have been fantastic if the road wouldn’t have been closed due to Helene
