Down by the River Campground is Western North Carolina High Country’s only dedicated 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 and pristine grounds maintenance make this the 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. Stay a night, a few weeks, or make this your seasonal home, we’d love to have you.
We are located in Pineola 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.
