They used eggs from the chickens out back and sausage from a farm down the road - there was so much food I couldn't finish it. The hosts were friendly and inviting but not intrusive. There's also an option to camp next to a creek where they have a bathhouse, volleyball, horseshoes, etc. We will definitely be visiting again!

What was super interesting was that I got a better signal from my Tmobile 5G at the campsite then I do at home. Would stay again and next time probably drop off some beer from Durham.

Way atop the mountain out of Boone is this wonderful KOA campground. At 4,000 feet it's a climb…read morebut my little buggy chugged up the windy road like the little engine that could. Easy peasy. Complete with amenities most will enjoy they also have private cabins, tent sites, and various RV sites based on size and need. Cool. Ours was a pull through and our camper set up easily. Larger units (aren't they all larger these days) had to jockey them to fit into the narrow lots. It makes for a fun drinking game; however, the older style sites work better for units under 30 foot IMO. Everyone fit, eventually. The 5th star goes to the grounds crew. We got caught in the remnants of Tropical Storm Fred. 50 mph winds and torrential rain gutted many of the roads in the campground. Tractors with box scrapers appeared at sunrise and by noon the roads were nearly perfect. Impressive! Looking to breath some mountain air, view clear, star-filled skies at night, and kick back into a leisurely routine? Running the flag way up my "Give 'em a whirl" meter. Camp here.

The owner is great and the host (Mike) is beyond amazing! We've been camping there for 8 years and love it more each time we go. The camper spots are very spacious and C1-C3 are completely shaded. C3 is the best by far! But you have to book early because C3 is very popular! Some things to know before you go! They do not have water hookups at the sites - you fill your camper tank with water at the office area. They have spots with electric hookups. They have a dump station where you can empty your tanks on your way out. This is a simple & beautiful campground. There are trails to walk/hike, mountain view to see, bathhouse with 3 bathroom/showers, and one with just a bathroom. This is by far the cleanest bathhouse I have ever seen. They show great attention to this campground and make sure all their campers are happy. You can also purchase wood at the office. There are a few t-shirts for sale at the office, as well. If you haven't checked it out, you are truly missing out! This is a great place with great people!

When planning to travel to Boone in the RV I spent a considerable amount of time researching the…read morearea, although we have friends in nearby Blowing Rock we never traveled up here in the RV. This campground is old (circa 1970) but I rather call it nostalgic, it's an old school campground which means it's a little cramped and filled with a little bit of every kind of campers and full timers but I was able to navigate the steep entrance, small driveways and our tight site in my 41' Class A Diesel Rig without disconnecting my toad yes I have skills and a navigator in the seat next to me. The good far outweighs any negative comments I've read, this campground is nestled in a serene setting next to a mountain stream, there are lots of trees that filters the sun light most of the day. We stayed in site 77 a very level asphalt site that was long enough and wide enough to accommodate our Motorhome and our toad. Everyone here was extremely friendly and when the sun sets the sound of cracklin camp fires and the smell of burning hardwood fills the air. As far as ambient goes you'd be hard pressed to find a better setting it's only a few miles from town but a million miles from the distractions of the outside world. The not so good, yes every place has a few of them - the water pressure was horrible but fortunately my onboard water pump supplemented this so it wasn't that painful. The electrical supply was a shared distribution box and it was on the opposite side of the utility panel on my bus so you may want to bring an extension cord I had to route the cord under my RV fortunately my onboard 50 amp cord was just long enough. The sewer and water bibs may be located in closer proximity to your neighbor than to you and there were a few muddy spots around the site that we had to avoid and finally the most stressful part of our stay - exiting the campground back onto Hwy 105 it's like merging on to a super speedway with blind curves it can be a little intimidating. This is definitely a campground I'd book again, we loved the atmosphere and all our friendly neighbors and the staff was amazing too...

The Linneys stone grind corn meal, corn bread mix, grits, and they sell my favorite: buckwheat pancake mix. This is an authenic, operating water mill, and depending on when you visit, you can see the entire process, from the water wheel driven grind stone to the packaging and selling of the finished products. The Linney's campground adjoins the mill with campsites by the creek. Visiting the mill is like stepping way back in time. No credit cards accepted, and no cell phone signal here.
