My family went camping at Linville Falls State Park. Inside the park is a wonderful campground with both primitive tent sites and RV sites great rates. The camp has a amphitheater (group campfire area). At the amphitheater you can hear stories and music run by the park. The campground is just before the Linville Falls Visitor Center. The only negative is the campground does not have showers. It does have clean restrooms but no hot water. Each tent site has raised tent pads, a campfire ring/grill, picnic table and lantern holder. While in the park we took hikes on all three of the trails around the falls. I highly recommend if you are physically fit try the Plunge Basin trail to the left of the falls visitor center marked by yellow arrows. It is a very strenuous trail but worth the hike. It takes you to the bottom of the larger fall. Watch out for snakes. Fishing is allowed. Bring a picnic to the bottom of the falls and enjoy. Be careful on your way back. First timers may miss the turn... more
