Summary

Lake Powhatan offers a fantastic location near Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway, with well-maintained, private campsites and friendly staff. Campers appreciate the beautiful, serene environment and the variety of outdoor activities available, including hiking and biking trails. While some noted issues with the swimming area and occasional noise disturbances, overall, guests had a positive experience and expressed a desire to return.
Campground offers a serene and scenic environment perfect for a relaxing getaway. The campsites are spacious and well-maintained, providing ample privacy.
However, the bathrooms leave something to be desired, with only two single bathrooms available for the whole area, broken showers, and just one working sink. Despite these limitations, the overall experience is enjoyable, especially for those who appreciate a natural, rustic setting
We stayed two nights at the campground for our visit to the Biltmore house.
It was very convenient, only a 20 minute drive. Easy access to I-26 and downtown.
I think the campground was the quietest I have ever stayed. The park seemed very well maintained and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
Having large showers was an unexpected treat.
Sites are limited for larger RV access due to the tight roads that most national parks have.
I highly recommend the park.
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.
Whenever in the vicinity of Asheville this is our “go to” place ! About 10 minutes from amain road freeway access and you are in rhe wilderness. Great campsites, beautiful lake and the staff is great every visit.
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.
From Asheville, take I-26 to exit 33. Go south approximately 2 mi on State Route 191 to the Lake Powhatan Recreation Area sign. Turn right and follow signs to the campground.
