Very nice campground. Spacious sites, friendly staff, beautiful location. Close to all the Asheville tourist attractions. We have a Class A motorhome and found the roads from the interstate to the campground challenging. They are narrow and winding.

We really enjoyed this campground. Friendly helpful staff, quiet, well maintained and clean. Good fishing. Lots of hiking trails. Only complaint was a lack of trail maps.

My reserved site was still occupied at check in time. I don't understand how this happens. The staff was great though and recommended changing to a site that actually was better than my original one. The trail system is wonderful with miles of hiking.

Love this campground as a place to get outside, ride bikes and feel like I’m away from it all, though it’s convenient to all things Asheville has to offer.
