I loved tent camping on Christian's land! Super quiet, clean and safe. My 7 year old son loved the zipline and the tire swing! My dogs loved it too! Thank you for sharing your place! We will definitely be back.

Lake James @ Linville River Camp
River acamp
5 out of 5 stars. Linville Adventure Pasture is a wonderful privately run campground and we enjoyed the wooded privacy, river access, and freedom for the dogs to explore, play, and swim. Our host Christian was incredibly responsive, as well as thoughtful. He even sent a friend to help jump my car, when the battery stalled overnight (thanks James!) We enjoyed our weekend at River Camp so much that I booked another stay, before driving off the property.
Helpful tips:
1. Directions: Host will provide directions ahead of arrival. Just beyond the storage shed is a fork and you’ll take the dirt trail on the left and drive until you see a rock bluff and open area with a fire pit (roughly a 1/4 mile). The road is well-maintained, but if it’s muddy 4WD would be ideal. 2WD could work too, if you have good tires and decent clearance.
2. Amenities: The campsite has a table, bench, and fire pit. If you want to access campground amenities, hike back to the main area aka the ‘pasture’ (where the storage shed, sink, porta-potty, firewood, and additional campsites are located).
3. Cell Service: No service by the river. You can get 1-2 bars by the pasture, but it’s spotty.
4. Dogs: Site is completely private so the dogs were able to roam off-leash.
5. Comfort: There’s dense tree coverage by the river, so plenty of shade to stay cool.
6. Bugs: Given proximity to the river, mosquitos and spiders were very active, so don’t forget the bug spray!

Lake James @ Linville River Camp
We had an awesome time! The river campsite is awesome. Being able to take a dip in the water when it’s hot and sleep next to the sound of river was just magical. The site is huge and we’d love to come back one day with more people. Our kids really loved getting to see the beaver in its habit too. Christian is super nice and helpful and we felt very welcomed and taken care of. We heard your honk on our way out of town Christian! Cya next time!

The host was fantastic, it was a super windy trip and our tent blew away. He helped us tie it down. Recommended an amazing hike and was super friendly. Great campsite for dogs, local walking trails, piece and quite. Would come back and bring friends.

Christian offers a great spot close to Shortoff and MTB trails. The pasture is great, spots catch some afternoon shade and great stargazing.
