Down by the River Campground

This is an over 55 community, My dad camped with us 😁, so there aren't kid amenities and that's ok. It is peaceful, clean, and the river is wonderful! The fireplace in the shelter is so relaxing with the sound of river. The dogs enjoyed walking and the little dog park. Level spots and a Great place to stay!

We have been coming to Down By the River Campground for short visits for three years and last year decided to become seasonal campers from April to October and happy for it. There is so much to do in Western North Carolina. We make a small trip each day exploring the small cities, large mountains and great hiking trails plus festivals and events to choose from almost every weekend. And don't forget the mountain laurel and rhododendron displays in the spring and early summer and the indescribable beauty of the falls colors later in the year. Others choose to just sit in their rigs and enjoy the beauty of the campground itself with manicured sites, a huge, clean activity center, party inducing pavilion right on the river and take leisurely walks around the paved streets enjoying the lovely flowers so many sites display. The resort offers two buildings that provide clean restrooms with showers and laundry facilities. If you are looking for a place to stop and enjoy just for a weekend, a months stay or even the whole season, Down By the River offers everything you need in one of the cleanest and best kept campgrounds you will ever visit.

My husband and I have been seasonal campers for 5 years. We originally were weekend campers and loved it here so much that we decided to stay here seasonally. We fell in love with this campground because of the beautiful well maintained grounds and the very friendly people. The owners work very hard at keeping Down By the River Campground a great place to stay for a weekend, a week, a month or join us as seasonal campers. We promise you’ll love it here !

This place is a gem. It is immaculate, very well maintained with concrete pads, concrete drives, a nice dog park, and the stream that encircles the park is an added bonus. Kim in the office was so nice and helpful with our after-hours arrival. Folks in the park were very nice too. Excellent internet and full hook ups as well. Highly recommend! And lots to see & do in the area, with good eats, grocery store, etc nearby.
