Lake Powhatan Glamping

Overall our trip was great. However, we were not prepared for how thin the blankets on the bed were. They were basically 2 additional sheets and provided minimal warmth. With that being said the campsite was clean and the staff were very friendly.

My wife and I are locals and have stayed at the Lake Powhatan glamping sites four times now, across different seasons. Every visit has been consistently enjoyable, and it’s become our favorite local getaway. The glamping setup makes it incredibly easy to get into the woods with our two dogs — the canvas tents are clean, spacious, and furnished with comfortable beds (with quality sheets!), chairs, a cooler, and just enough power to keep essentials like phones charged. It’s the perfect blend of camping comfort and convenience.

The campground itself is well maintained and thoughtfully run. The bathrooms are always spotless, and the onsite store is a lifesaver when you need ice, firewood, or those little things you forgot to pack. The overall vibe is relaxed and friendly, with guests who genuinely seem happy to be outdoors enjoying this beautiful part of Western North Carolina.

We did have one stay when a large family group stayed loud past quiet hours, and the host didn’t intervene that night. However, during our other three visits, the hosts were extremely responsive — often at a site within minutes of a noise issue. That one instance may have been an anomaly, but I mention it because strict adherence to quiet hours matter to many campers.

The campground absolutely feels safe and non-threatening in any way.

Between the proximity to Asheville, the access to the Bent Creek trails, an actual recreational sized Lake, and the comfortable glamping setup, this is an easy, peaceful retreat that feels close to home yet worlds away. Glaming sites are not the cheapest option, but for the convenience, cleanliness, and comfort you get, it’s absolutely worth it. We’ll continue to return — it’s become our go-to recharge spot in the woods. The tent and RV spots are nearby and all have the same feel and comfort level.

Site was clean and well-organized, bathrooms were clean, having firewood and ice at the Ranger station was clutch, and every employee we interacted with was incredibly kind and helpful (including one who gave us directions to get back on a trail we had lost!) - we all had a wonderful time and will be back to do it again!
