Our stay at this mountain campsite was fantastic! The hosts were both exceptionally kind and attentive. Ken recommended a Newland tire business to work on our truck brakes and I'm not exaggerating when I say they might have saved our lives!
While the space was a smidge tight for our fifth wheel, it worked out fine. All the campsite hook-ups were pristine and easy-to-use.
The location was lovely - set in a charming country club neighborhood with welcoming neighbors who went out of their way to check on us. We love Newland and felt as though we were centrally located to the places we like to visit.
Thanks so much, Ken & Lyn! We will be returning, for sure!

My boyfriend and I stayed at Corner Pine for a weekend in a camper van to do some leaf peeping and sight seeing around the Highlands. The site was perfect for our needs! We especially loved the deck to relax and enjoy the moon while playing guitar. It was peaceful and private. Having access to amenities was fantastic, and it was so thoughtful of our hosts to leave a welcome basket with instructions and helpful tips!

This stay was a first for us using this app and very pleasantly surprised and delighted with the spot with easy pull through and comfortable deck with fire pit. The variety of sweet, helpful and welcoming community members in the neighborhood was a plus. Reminds me of a great old campgrounds with lots of woods, shrubbery, unique vacation homes, camp sites or permanent little and large mountain homes. Walking around felt very safe and nice perks with the amenities.

Weekend Trip to Glamping Wild
What a lovely quiet spot for a first Geodome experience with my wife. We were taking a long weekend trip to celebrate the anniversary of our First Date (40 years ago on the exact date of LiveAid, so good thing it wasn't a wasted date😁). This was a great Geodome with everything you could want and all of it was like the pictures.
What was nice was not being in a Tourist Trap City, just a quiet, peaceful place to relax. There were things to do for a change of pace right at the sites. The last 3 miles getting there is a very curvy narrow road, which I only got to have fun on once; I scared my wife. We definitely would go back to relax.

We were very comfortable with the size of lot for our camper. Ken and Lynn were helpful and friendly. Our dog loved that he could lay on the deck watching the day go by, plus we didn’t have to worry about him running after any other dogs going for their walks. The deck was great for cooking on our camp stove.

Weekend Trip to Glamping Wild
We had such a wonderful time — geodomes were gorgeous, the hillside was so very peaceful, and from river side walks, to on-site hikes, there was always an opportunity to put down the phone and just spend some time outside. Staying here felt like a sigh of relief and we can’t wait to come back!

Brandon is a super host. The site is just above a small babbling brook. Every once in a while there are some farm animal noises, but nothing that bothered my dogs, so it wasn't much.
Lenior is close and a few breweries within 20 minutes or so. There is also a nice hiking/MTB trail a few minutes away.
Great place to stay and explore the area.

This is a great spot and very well maintained! Blair was so helpful and thoughtful. Close to lots of hiking in Linville and closer to Asheville. It is a very private spot. Even if people are at the other campsites you won’t feel like they’re on top of you. Lots of trees and privacy. Very dog friendly. So happy we found this thru Hipcamp. I will be returning to do more hiking in linville and still able to be close to life.
