Down By the River Campground

Very clean campground. Nice concrete roads thru the grounds and level concrete pads. Bathhouse appears recently remodeled and clean. Plenty of nice trees provide shading with plenty of grass instead of dirt or muddy areas. They have a covered social area on the creek with nice big fireplace. This seems to be a gathering spot at night. Several rocking chairs to pull in front of the fireplace and relax.
The area itself is very convenient to a lot of NC Mountain landmarks. The Blue Ridge Parkway is approx. 1.5 miles away, Linville Falls is a 10 – 12 minute drive, Linville Caverns is a 20 minute drive, Grandfather Mountain approx. 20 minutes, and Tweetsie Railroad is about 35 minutes.
Bottom line is this is a very nice family campground, friendly staff, and great location. We have now visited twice and will be back.
