Lake Powhatan

Site 42 had cell service and limited internet using us cellular. Nice campground and great camp host

This is a great campground. Very clean restrooms and showers along with the sites. Overall very well taken care of.tye staff was super nice, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We would definitely stay there again.

While we enjoyed the park and the hosts ... it was very nice that it was FHU and one reason why we chose it.

The main path for the loop is TOO narrow to back in one's camper w/o getting off the road. The main sign to the park is in the shadows of the trees and can't be seen till right upon the sign ... and the signs back out on the main drag could use better turn arrows for first timers.

This is for site 53 only. We stay at Lake Powhatten 6-8 times a year.

It's a tough backin for larger rigs. We have a 40 ft. 5th wheel and it was slightly challenging. I am an experienced with backing into to tough areas. Not a skill issue.

The site was quite overgrown which limited the usable space.

As always there is no data and very limited cell service.

Otherwise same as usual. Great trails. great place.

Our family had an amazing time!!

The onsite staff were awesome. So sweet. The sites and bathrooms were clean. The beach was beautiful. The trail map is not very detailed so i suggest looking it up on alltrails before you come. Make sure to download there is no cell signal at the sites. But you can find one at the beach.

Even in the rain the campgrounds were great! Nice clean showers and restrooms. Well maintained trails and great location.

Very nice campsites. They are not overly huge but for the most part, comfortable size but what was so nice (at least in our loop) was that each one has trees/bushes on the sides so it makes it a little more private. It is not like your next door neighbor can look over into your site or camper. Noticed a couple 'double sites' which are nice if camping with relatives. We sometimes camp with our son and his family. Overall very quiet. The campground is very nice and we plan on returning at some time.

Would be nice if there were no exterior lights at the bathhouse and/or had sensors on the inside lights. Some campsites (especially sites on the inside of the loop) are right in view of the bathrooms and have light shining all night long. Some parks have sensors for the inside llights that turn on when there is movement. (There are large side windows that shine on the campsite and stay on when a person does not turn them off before leaving the bathroom). Possibly a duller bulb for outside would help with the outside lights. With nice weather I like having windows and shades open all night but this allows the light to shine in the camper and makes it harder to sleep. It also prevents us from stargazing as you can't see the stars as well. We sometimes bring our telescope but luckily we didn't this time.

Don't know how much usage it gets but a little work on the beach area would be nice. Wasn't super appealing but since we had rain and cooler weather we didn't use it; just walked down there to take a peek. Could only see about 4 ft from shore and then the water got very dark. Does it get that deep only 4 ft from shore? The beach area was a mix of sand and grass popping up.

Very close to some breweries in Asheville such as Bold Rock (our favorite). About 20 minutes to downtown Asheville.

We had major issues with cell coverage. Nothing on the first few days. No wifi coverage in the park. We did get a little cell coverage on the last day.

Great place to Enjoy the outdoors. Very friendly staff.

The campground has different loops. We stayed in campground . This was a full hookup so I was great for our week stay as we didn’t have to move to dump our tanks. There is a bathhouse in each loop and we took numerous showers there. The set up is there are two shower rooms and the another two sink and toilet rooms. So you can take a shower in privacy and not have to worry about someone else coming in. Very clean and spacious. The lake is nice but the beach area is very rocky. They need to add sand to make it more usable. Lots and lots of trailers for hiking and bike riding. Many locals are there using the trails. The WiFi with ATT was one to two bars, enough to be able to stream with a booster. To many trees for not been able to use the Starlink connection
