High Country Campgrounds

4 campgrounds

High Country is part of our guide to camping destinations in Western North Carolina. The High Country around Boone, Blowing Rock and Linville is cooler and higher than the rest of the region, with campgrounds on the Blue Ridge Parkway and near Linville Gorge. Price Lake, Grandfather Mountain, Moses Cone Park and the Linville Falls trails are the big draws.

Camping season here is shorter than near Asheville; plan summer and early-fall trips and check opening dates with each campground.
