Highly recommend this campground if you are someone who loves water.  The falls are a must see and it's a beautiful sound to fall asleep too.  Water up in the mountains never gets that warm,  but I tend to notice around June to end of August the water is at its warmest.  After a long hike around the mountains, you won't even notice the temperature.  You'll be extremely happy to just jump right in!  As a side note- you can camp at Elk Falls (FOR FREE) instead of going to Linville Falls Campground.  I couldn't find that on this website, but I highly recommend that site over this over, if you are someone who likes a more secluded, off the regular trail camping.

I camped at Honey Bear Campground a couple summers ago.  It's great, if you need an easy access spot and have kids.  However, I tend to like campgrounds that are more secluded and off the regular path.  It seemed like a good place to camp for us college students, since it was so close to campus.  But it's definitely more for families.  So this campgrounds, wasn't right for me and my group. They have a decent sized dog area, in which your dogs can run around safely off leash.  After walking around, we noticed there were campsites that were more close together, while some more tucked away behind brush.  I would recommend asking the check in desk about these different sites, so you can pick the one that fits your group most.  However, mother nature does not disappoint.  Our nature walks were gorgeous and we even found chicken of the woods close by!

This is one of my favorite camping spots in the North Carolina triangle area.  There is a tremendous amount of hiking and trails to do around here.  The Eno River is more than safe to swim or paddle in.  Dogs are welcome here! If you can camp close to the river, I recommend, it's great to fall asleep to the sounds of the river.  Bring bug spray!

Camping around Boone is filled with beauty.  Linville Falls is moderately trafficked.  The best benefit is you have your campsite and very close by you have the gorgeous falls.  I recommend camping no earlier than June.  Unless you don't mind the cold.  Most body's of water stay pretty cold for a lot longer up in the mountains and the nights can get chilly.  You will feel at peace here.

This is a very easy park to find.  Decent amount of parking, but it is a highly trafficked area.  I have not yet camped here, but I've hiked on the trails.  There are multiple trails, for varying skill level.
