This is a great spot. Love that it is right across from the path to the restroom and the water supply spigot. 2nd time I have stayed at the campground. The staff are very friendly & helpful. The restrooms are always clean. The sites are well maintained too and the tent pad is nice and level.

Tent camped on site 13. The site was very clean and well maintained before arrival. The site itself is in a good location, with no one behind or to the right (looking at the site), which made for quiet atmosphere. The host on our loop was very nice and helpful. No bear boxes on our loop, but saw ones on other loops. I would definitely utilize the same site again, but also thought site 8 was a good location for a tent. We drove around the entire campground and the glamping tents looked nice, but did not see them inside. Very close to Asheville and easy to get in/out campground to other things (if that interests you). Ingles close by and a discount shoe place you must check out! Hope this helps!

Great location next to Arboretum, Ashville and a few good trails. Lakeside is awesome for site benefits, close to lake and large sites are pretty private with good spacing.
