Down by the River Campground is Western North Carolina’s premier 55+ RV community — full hookups, flat paved pull-through sites, and the sound of the Linville River outside your door. At 3,550 feet, our cool mountain breezes make this the summer escape you’ve been looking for.
Beyond your site, there’s plenty to enjoy: fish right from the riverbank, unwind at our riverside pavilion and fireplace, play a game of pickleball, or join fellow campers for weekly fitness classes, hiking outings, and community events. Bringing a furry friend? Our fenced dog park has you covered. Whether you’re staying a night, a few weeks, or making this your seasonal home, we’d love to have you.
Just minutes from Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls, and the Blue Ridge Parkway, you can explore the high country by day, then enjoy peaceful mountain evenings back at the park.
