Lake Powhatan

Beautiful campground with lots of space and greenery between sites. The sewer for our site, #39,was fairly high and the sewer hose had to elevated for proper drainage. Bathrooms and showers were separate and setup for one person at a time. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
For things to do, check out Lexington Glassworks in Asheville and the town of Black Mountain. For hikers, the Lookout Trail near Black Mountain provides scenic views of the area

Great campground. Lots of room between campers. Very private for a campground. Convenient to Asheville.

Terrific campsite. Everyone working there was helpful and friendly.

Campsite is great and bath houses were clean. Will go back.

Site read nice and convenient to bathroom. Convenient to visit Ashville

Great relaxing weekend, enjoyed the hiking in around the camp ground, facilities where well maintained.

Very pleasantly surprised. My favorite of three national park campgrounds on this trip. Although i did not find a utility wash sink I was pleasantly surprised to have showers at our restroom, large private stalls, and working bear boxes. The facilities were well maintained, friendly staff, and ice and firewood for sale on arrival at the gate. excellent experience.
**bonus nearby 'in town' restaurants, conveniences, cell service and the stunning North Carolina Arboretum

Great site! The bathrooms are not as nice as other facilities, but are pretty good.

We love Powhatan. Sites are nice and the staff is so friendly. The only issue I have is wireless service. I know this could be a blessing or a curse. But, with family and job obligations, I so wish cell service was available/better.

Beautiful campground. Lots of hiking trails and the camp spots are not crowded. Employees and hosts were very nice. If you are looking for perfection, here are things that could be better...there were a lot of dogs and a decent amount of barking/noise (you'll get this most everywhere that allows pets...I get it). The mobile reception was terrible, so don't rely on it. We had Starlink, which helped a lot, but the beautiful tree canopy made finding a lot of open sky a challenge. We found enough to do basic functions...texting, checking email, etc. Voice calls were tough due to limited sky at our spot and most spots had a lot of tree canopy, so you sacrifice a little connectivity for the gorgeous setting. Finally, the bath and shower house in our loop (lake loop) didn't have much capacity. Thankfully, with a full hookup and a tankless water heater, we used our camper bathroom/shower and didn't need the public facilities. I'm told the beach bottom in the water is pretty mucky, although we did not use it. The lake is pretty though.

Those are, in my mind, minor gripes. Overall, probably the best spot we've camped at yet.
