We had a great stay! The site was perfect for our camper and a tent. Beautiful, well cared for spot close to everything. And Christian was a great host.

Very friendly host! Nice wood line to pitch several tents under while looking out onto a field of grass. Very clean and nice amenities such as potable water, outhouse and activities. Walked about 10 minutes (part on rugged trail) to access the river where wading and swimming were possible. Be aware you are camping in front of owner’s homes (across the field) and there were campsites/ homes behind the campsites.

This was a perfect campsite for my 2 kids (8 &11) and dog. They loved the zipline, the disc golf baskets, and the nearby river. I appreciated the kitchen sink, picnic tables, and campfire ring. It was a nice shady spot by the edge of a field, about 5 min to the boat dock and biking trails, and 10 min to the public swimming beach at Lake James.
We had a great two nights @ Christian’s. He offers some nice additional options like electricity or setting up a large, canvas tent. There’s a great meadow we played lacrosse on and very well kept communal sink for washing up plates, etc. The portaloo is very well maintained — I was surprised as usually they’re, well, not. The camp is close to a nice river or the marina on James Lake — pro tip: if you want to rent a boat, reserve one in advance. We’d camp here again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Christian was an awesome host and easily the coolest guy we’ve ever met lol. We brought paddle boards and kayaks to enjoy Lake James, which was only a 4 minute drive from the campsite. We took advantage of everything the campsite had to offer- fire pit, picnic table, axe throwing, zip line, disc golf baskets, and river access. The river was really nice, several deep pockets for swimming. My husband caught some blue gill, bream, and small bass. We intend to return one day as we had a great time.

My family and I have stay here several times over the years and we live very close it there Christian is always very welcoming and has a beautiful place. There is plenty to do without leaving the property or it is a short drive to Lake James beach access, hiking, breweries etc. This will continue to be our first choice anytime we camp in this area

My husband and I booked site 1 and our friends booked the other site. We had such a great time! Christian was incredibly kind, informative, and welcoming. We had full roam of this beautiful, quiet and peaceful property and enjoyed an unusually hot spring day playing in the river. Will definitely be back!
Great camp spot! Short walk to a beautiful section of the river and Lots of space to run around and play. Christian was super kind and popped by to make sure we had everything we needed. 10/10 will stay again!
Enjoyed mt stay at Linville Adventure Pasture. Host Christian was wonderful. I was the only camper and things were quiet and peaceful. Was close to Lake James for fishing and many hiking oportunities in the area.
Linville Adventure Pastures was awesome. Beautiful views, a fun experience, and just an all-around great place to spend time outdoors. Everything was well done and easy to enjoy. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area.

Another great stay at LAP! Christian is a great host and the location can’t be beat for adventures in the gorge.
We absolutely loved our time at the Linville Adventure Pasture. Christian was a wonderful host and went above and beyond to make our stay great. We have three boys 6-11, and we did EVERYTHING! We threw axes, rode the zip line, did a round of frisbee golf, swam in the river and jumped off the rock ledges. The location is great for other local activities as well. There is a running/biking path, a great 4.5 mile hike up Shortoff Mountain with spectacular views, close to Old NC 105 for some off-roading fun and so much more within an hour. Endless fun to be had. The property is not only beautiful but it’s also clean and safe. We highly recommend staying here and plan to come back if able. Thank you, Christian!!

Beautiful land and camping spot! Not on the river, but a short walk to a pebbly river spot that is shallow enough to wade in the water. We loved the open pasture and space to run around. Good location and great for families!

Christian is a welcoming host and his sites in the pasture are wonderful. We had two families at the snail and turtle sites. The zip line and tire swing were huge hits with the kids. We watched fireflies and swam in the river. The adults tried our hand at axe throwing. The portojohn was clean, and the dish station was so helpful. Went to Fonta Flora brewery for dinner one night. Recommend all around and hope to come back.

We absolutely enjoyed the peace and tranquility of this space. It was close to many beautiful hiking trails as well. My favorite was taking a short walk to the river to dip in. Definitely would come back!

This site was private yet conveniently located. We were able to access the river, the lake and beautiful trails for hiking.
There is a sink with running water that really helped us while we were "boone docking". The host was so great and gave us tips on some awesome hikes and a brewery!

Lake James @ Linville River Camp
Christian was a great host! Site was beautiful, quiet and peaceful.
Fantastic place.
The host is very friendly, excellent communication, service,and accommodating.
Site was perfect for an evening under the stars by the campfire.
Had a great long weekend at LAP. Booked sites 2 and 3 for two families. While it would have been easy to put 2 families on one site, we enjoyed the extra space. Christian was great! So many thoughtful touches made it an easy place to stay. We hiked Shortoff which was super close and fun!
May be helpful for others;
3 is nearest bathroom/sink - super nice for us with kids! if you are a light sensitive sleeper may choose 1 or 2
The river swimming is only for the river site campers. This is further from the bathroom/sink but would recommend considering it if you want to swim/get wet or want more privacy!!
While dogs are welcome, it seemed that ours - who are barkers - were making others uncomfortable. So if you have dogs that bark, may consider the river spot as well.
There are some cabin options as well on the land.

Lake James @ Linville River Camp
Really nice RV site on a large creek. Pretty secluded and peaceful. You'll need a 4x4 to get in if it rains but the ground at the site drained well and wasn't muddy. Christian was very nice and accommodating. Will definitely stay here again sometime.
Great tent site, host was very welcoming and accommodating. My dad and I had a trailer with two kayaks on it and took a less than 5 minute drive to the boat ramp to launch. Very clean and well kept piece of land. Nice sink for washing dishes or refilling water filters near the firewood storage. Port-a-potty for the bathroom for now but host explained he has a plan to have showers and bathroom up at the house. Axe throwing next to the firewood, horseshoes about 30 feet next to the axe throwing, and bigger fire pit in the middle of the pasture. Definitely would camp at again.
Such a great place to camp! Especially if you can go during a week of a full moon- the moonrise was amazing over the pasture.
Lots to do with a family and good hiking close by.
This property has a lot to offer , and the creek side camp was perfect. Very clean and organized. Having the extra amenities like a sink to was dishes was a plus. The ax throwing area , tire swing , and zip line are all an extra bonus. We were greeted when we entered the property and were shown to our campsite and was told everything the place has to offer. We will definitely be back.
This campsite is so exposed- sits across a field from two houses in a hill which are also rentals- people were outside all day on the porch and we had no privacy. Our second day the owners failed to inform us until we arrived that there would be a huge party- more than 39 cars showed up and parked next to our campsite and the entire day people partied right across from our camp, including a baby’s reveal explosion. After that party wrapped up, the backside of the campsites has a row of trees bordering houses that partied until past midnight. We had no privacy, no quiet, no notice that we would be camping in a huge party- the whole experience was not what was described and really unpleasant.
Really gorgeous camp site and land. Great hikes nearby, we had a a lot of fun. We had a few hiccups because I missed that there is no trash facility and guests are responsible for hauling their own trash off the property, but Christian was super flexible and it was no big deal. Great host.

Was such a great spot right next to the river! Bring shoes for the river as the rocks can be a bit slippery!

This was our 2nd stay and we have nothing but positive feedback about LAP. This campsite has plenty of shade and easy access to the creek to stay cool during this scorcher summer. Dogs love being able to freely run along the private trail and explore the creek. We’ll be back!
