About this campground
This facility was heavily impacted by Hurricane Helene and is closed for 2026. The Linville River flows from its headwaters high on the steep slopes of Grandfather Mountain and cascades through two falls as it begins a nearly 2,000-foot descent through this rugged and spectacularly beautiful gorge, carved out by the tall Linville Falls. Towering hemlocks, dense stands of rhododendron, and native wildflowers grow along the trails that begin at the visitor center and encircle the falls.
Getting there
The visitor center is just north of the intersection of the Parkway with US 221 in the Linville Falls area, about 25 miles north of Marion, NC. Turn right and follow the access road for about a mile. Linville Falls is about 45 minutes south of Blowing Rock.
