Lake Powhatan

The camp hosts and everyone working there was wonderful and helpful when we had an unfortunate travel experience due to our truck breaking down on the first morning of our trip. They helped us find another campsite when we had to extend our trip multiple days, and allowed us to have groceries delivered when we were running out of food and didn’t have a vehicle to go shopping, they helped turn a difficult situation better and we are grateful. Campground was picturesque in the fall, and accidentally hiking to the arboretum was a special treat.

Big wooded private sites! Bathrooms were exceptionally clean & pretty good water pressure! Staff of workers were really great! 20 min or so from Asheville! Can't wait to go back!

This was our first time at Lake Powhatan, and we were very dissappointed at the size of the lake (we were expecting a lake, not a pond). That being said, everything else about it was great. It was very convenient location to get to the NC Arboretum and Blue Ridge Parkway. We were at site 31 for 2 days, and then moved to site 31. Both were good sized and pretty level. 31 did not have power, and the loop was therefore a lot less crowded. 21 in Big John Loop had more campers, but was still quiet and private feeling. The bathrooms/showers were centrally located in the middle of the loops, and were easy to access.

My favorite site. Greenway in rear of site has large opening in forest. Allows me to receive 2 or 3 different over the air HDTV channels and at least one bar of Verizon service.

Excellent campground. The hosts / staff were very helpful and friendly. Sites we nicely separated from each other.

Very close to Ashville and we used the park for an overnight before turning in our camper van amd flying out of Charlotte. Hot and clean showers. Sites had leaves blown out and picnic tables. Lots of trees for privacy and good waste disposal due to bears. Campground was full but things were very quiet. The front booth was staffed with a very kind and helpful man.

Beautiful location. Clean site and restroom. Very helpful hosts

Lots of great mountain bike and gravel road riding. Walk to the NC Arboretum and get in free.

Host was really nice! Space was well maintained, showers were nice! Family friendly campground with awesome people.
They also have wood onsite that you can buy for $10!

Clean, spacious, private sites, w/FHU. Beautiful nature! Friendly staff.
