This park is conveniently located to many of Asheville's attractions and downtown area. The campground appears to be old with little updating to the sites. The views that other reviewers have referred to escaped me. We were located in one of their best sites with what was supposed to be a view. You're higher up in this park but I wouldn't consider the views to be anything special. You have interstate 40 on one side with some level of noise. It's not real loud but you can definitely hear it. On the other side is a view of some type of repair shop, garage or something with equipment parked outside. The water spigot for our site was very close to the sewer hookup drain which was gross. Also this park is very overpriced for what it is. They are able to charge this much because of the proximity to Asheville happenings. Overall: a very average, overpriced and dated park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a great experience. There are level sites, good signal for internet and phone. It has a nice pool, is quiet, clean, and near the farmers market, and shopping. Biltmore is near. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a campground that is ideally located for all activities in Asheville. There is easy off and on access to the interstate. Roads were wide and backing into sites was easy. The campground is small with beautiful views. As you exit the campground, you can see the Biltmore House and the Hotel across the mountains. The owners and staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Sites are paved with room between most sites and fairly level. I wouldn't recommend the pull-through sites, as they are located on a road. I would have rated this a 10 if an interstate wasn't located nearby. Although in a motorhome with air conditioning, the noise was minimal. I would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Made reservations two months in advance for sites on their ridge with beautiful views. They told us the actual sites we picked were not guaranteed but we would definitely be on sites on the ridge with the beautiful views. When we arrived, our sites were indeed occupied and they had no other available sites on the ridge with the view. We were put on extremely cramped sites next to interstate, with no view except apartment building and storage building and pavement. Not exactly the mountain weekend we had in mind. When we got upset, the owner got very defensive and irate. She was extremely rude and told us we could leave if we were that unhappy. Of course there was no where else to go on July 4th weekend. Will not camp here ever again and would not recommend to anyone! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very small pool, not much of a playground for kids, and totally overpriced, even with the Good Sam discount. We did have a beautiful view of the mountains from our back window. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Not sure why previous poster said staff was rude, as office staff and owner were very friendly, and helpful! Nice park with both pull-throughs and back-ins. Office staff advised me to go to a back-in, because of freeway road noise down at the pull-through section....she was right. Roadway wide enough to back my 40'er in without a problem. Maybe you get what you give in dealing with people? We camped here in a Motorhome.

Absolute rudest staff I have ever met.... We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Park was clean, but the rest rooms for the area we were in were closed. Cable TV though advertised is non existent. Winding, climbing narrow road to reach this campground and then you are sitting just above the freeway so very noisy. Rate is in my opinion very high for what is offered. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice campground, wifi as excellent, not much contact with staff but were very friendly on check in. Had a back in site up on the hill, would definitely stay here again! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here four weeks. It is on a hill, so has beautiful views, especially with the fall colors. You can even see the Biltmore. While the previous comments about pulling in on a blind curve and having the office on a hill were correct, it was not as tight as some posts made it sound (maybe because we've spend so much time in the Northeast where they are REALLY tight). We did not have to re-exit to get to our site, but 2/3 of the park requires that. The staff was friendly and helpful and very accommodating. The park would score higher, but the restrooms could be a little cleaner (often found them out of paper towels as well) and the sites could have a little more room (and we were told we were in the "larger" sites). The first spot we parked was not able to get the wi-fi (it constantly dropped the connection because the signal was so low), but when we parked near the transponder it worked well. The showers seemed old (difficult to find a temperature) and the laundry facility was not very nice (but the centipedes were fun to watch in the laundry room--NOT). Because of the location (very close to Asheville, Farmer's Market, stores, restaurants, etc.) and the staff, we would most likely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park is small but the sites are big with concrete pads and huge trees for shade. It was located next to the Interstate which was convenient for traveling to the tourist areas nearby, but the highway noise was not obnoxious. There was no convenient place for walking and the laundry was a little hard to get to, but the staff was friendly and accommodating. They also provided tickets to attractions that were cheaper than purchasing them at the attraction. A nice clean, quiet and convenient park (so I guess that's why there is a higher price than one would expect with no amenities.) We camped here in a Motorhome.

One of the more unusual designed parks we have stayed in. Most of the sites are built on a hill with different terraces available. There are also sites that are literally right off of a roadway that runs in front of the park. The roads are narrow, and larger rigs may have a problem backing in to the hill sites as most toads or tow vehicles have to park in front of the RV. Very small laundry facilities, two machines and two dryers. I would stay here again, but location is everything. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is very conveniently located in Asheville. It's about a 10 minute drive to the Biltmore Estate, which is a huge draw in this area and well worth visiting. It's also easy access in and out of the park. The wi-fi signal is generally very good and no extra fee for the use. Cell phone signal was reasonable as well. Despite this park being practically right in town, it's very quiet. We would recommend this park and would stay here again. (800) 833-0798 We camped here in a Motorhome.

What a find!!! This park is in a beautiful location. Lot's of friendly people and the staff go way out of your way to help! The best sites are back-ins. The pull thru's have no view. The roads were pretty narrow, but the sites were very level. We had no real problem getting in or setting up. We will definitely be back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Good location. Easy to find. Convenient to local sites. Clean park. Went swimming and then went down town to the fireworks. It is an older park, very well maintained. Check in was a bit tight but we were able to park with one trip back out and around to the entrance. Good interior roads. Good use on every available inch of space. Clean pool. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here years ago and decided to return while purchasing a home here. Owner and staff very friendly and helpful, very concerned with our comfort. Exceptionally clean sites and grounds. We found the sites to be roomy considering you are in the city. We had no problem driving in, checking in, or parking in our site. We were staying for one week and decided to stay one more. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a nice campground, but we are too close to our neighbor. All the sites are too tight that way, and the driveway is a bit tight, too. Now it is well cared for and clean. The power is strong, and you can get a big rig in here, too, though registering is a chore and on a hill and very tight. I would stay here again, but I would look to Mama Gerties first as it is more adult and much more quiet as the interstate is right behind you as well. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The rate is with a Good Sam discount. There are different rates for 30 and 50 amps. The drive into the campground is uphill and there is not much room to stop to check in. The roadway through the campground is rather narrow. The staff is friendly. Our site was a back-in and you did have to be a little careful because you backed up to a hillside. The pads are cement and a little broken up but it was not too difficult to level. The restrooms, laundry and pool are downhill so you do walk down a flight of steps to get to them. The laundry was $1.75 for both the washer and dryer. There were two of each in a very small room, but they worked fine. We purchased tickets for the Biltmore Estates from the campground. We were able to buy a two day ticket for the same price ($47.50) as a one day ticket at the Estate. There is a nice view from the sites. Wi-Fi worked very well. We would stay here again, but we might look for someplace else first. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is not a big rig friendly park. Exiting off the interstate onto a 2 lane winding road. After registering you have to leave the park, pulling out on a blind curve, go down the hill and turn against traffic into the pull-thrus sites . You are at the mercy of drivers, since the pull-thru sites are at the bottom of the hill on a curve. we would not stay there again, and could not recommend the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Only thing we found nice was the proximity to the Biltmore House. We were in a pull-thru facing a public road outside of the park itself. Very noisy because you are in between two interstates. We felt this park was grossly over priced. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice campground, convenient to Biltmore Estate and rest of Asheville. Adequate spaces, friendly staff. We camped in off season (March), only 1/4 full. No complaints except for the cost - $46/night for full hookup + two kids. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground with wifi. Handy to freeways but you must go certain directions in the campground to exit as it is on a hill which gives it something of a view. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We used this campground as a stopover from Tybee Island on the way home to break up the trip. It is a clean campground mostly built on a hillside with some spots on the lower level. It was easy to get into considering the layout and the views of the mountains were something. Staff was friendly and willing to help. The only negative thing to me was the cost. It is a little pricey but I would return for a short visit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park personnel were friendly. We stayed in the new lower section. The trees were too young to provide much shade. Interstate noise could be heard, but with our AC running or TV on, we couldn't hear anything. The older upper section seemed a bit tight. It is a great place to set up base for visiting the Asheville area attractions. In a few years when the trees have grown a bit, the lower sites will be very nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great Campground. Easy access to the interstate. Clean campground with friendly staff. I would highly recommend this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The road to the park was narrow and winding. The park is located on a hill, so the roads are up and down, with sites terraced. The trees in the park have been trimmed to the point of looking like a tornado went through. The site I was assigned to made it necessary to exit the park, drive the narrow winding road again and re-enter a different driveway. The site I backed my 38' coach into was NOT level at all. I was very unhappy with the site. The management let me move to another site which was more level. Riding a bike around this park was difficult and not fun. I would not ever stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a very noisy park. Interstates everywhere, which made it very noisy. Sites hard to get into if they were full. The road in and out wasn't easy to use with our 36ft motor home and towing vehicle. Wouldn't stay there again. Too much noise which starts in early in the morning around 5am and the roads aren't easy to maneuver especially after driving all day to get there. It is close to the Biltmore Estates which is why we stayed there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

An expensive night of camping, but we stayed in a pull-through site which may have cost more than the back-ins. The campground is extremely convenient to Asheville (Biltmore Estates, Blue Ridge Parkway), which is about the best reason to use it. We couldn't recommend it otherwise. It is right off of Interstate 40 (we could hear the traffic all night), but not conveniently once off the highway as the one-mile road to the campground is narrow with sharp curves. To get to our pull-through site we had to drive out of the campground and back onto the narrow road and reenter the campground further down the road because there is no room to maneuver inside the park. Pull-through sites are narrow and perpendicular to the park road, making parking on the sites quite difficult. The next time we come to Asheville, we will try someplace else. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Located next to multiple highways and interchanges, which meant there was so much road noise that ear plugs were needed to sleep. Bathrooms and laundry room were not clean. Wireless Internet extremely slow. When I mentioned concerns to management, I received a defensive voice mail from owner. Would not recommend this RV park. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

After reading literature which had rated this campground very high and it being mentioned in Motorhome magazine, we were looking forward to checking out this campground. We were ultimately very disappointed by the time our departure date rolled around. The first pull-through site that they tried to place us in simply did not have enough clearance to pull my truck and 5th wheel into, the trees did not allow enough room to get through. They agreed to allow us to move to a pull-through with enough room for us to get in. Then the next morning, an employee of the park came knocking on our door telling us that we would have to move because she had another guest who had asked for the site we were on. When we arrived, lady in the office the night before told us to go to the site we were on. I told her that if I was forced to move, then I would just go ahead and check-out. She left and then returned saying that we could stay on the site we were on. Some of our family was staying in the apartment at the campground, when they went to bed - their bed fell on the floor, we were not able to find anyone from the campground to fix the problem. They had to go to a local hotel and spend the night. The sites were so close that our slideouts were only inches from touching our neighbors. The pull through section of the campground connects to the highway which runs in front of the campground making it dangerous for our children and the blind curve of that highway made it dangerous pulling out of our site. Campfires are not allowed and highway noise made our experience far from the relaxing retreat we had hoped for. Restrooms were not clean and the grounds were not well maintained. I would not recommend this campground and I am very shocked that it had received high ratings from industry publications. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Despite my confirming our reservation prior to traveling, the folks here couldn't find it when we arrived. The sites are very tight, especially if you have slide outs. There are few pull through spots. The site they eventually assigned us backed us in until we literally overlooked the interstate and was not large enough for our 3-slide 41.5' motorhome and the car we tow. The traffic noise was nonstop and very loud. They could use some good antennas for their wireless internet, as their signal wasn't strong enough to connect to. This campground is an adequate "staging area" if you plan on sight-seeing in the Asheville area. It is not a pretty or relaxing spot. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent campground, close to highway. Has cable so inability to get satellite was not an issue. Look forward to visiting this campground again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at this campground twice. The first time was a pleasant surprise. The second time by design. This campground is located near I40 but we did not hear the traffic. The hosts were extremely helpful with suggestions of local points of interest to visit and detailed directions. We plan to make this particular campground a regular stop when we travel through the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground not too far from Biltmore Estate. Easy access to Interstate. Clean restrooms and very nice pool area. We purchased our Biltmore Estate tickets there which saved us time when we made our visit. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park was just okay. My wife and I intended to stay only 1 night since we were on our way to Myrtle Beach for a vacation. As we were pulling in my brake light came on, after checking in and settling down in a camp site I decided to find out why the light came on. After discovering that it appeared to be a leaking brake cylinder on one of the rear duals. I went to the office to see if they knew someone that could help us. The owners wife suggested a local guy who she said had done work in the CG before. After driving our toad to his shop and explaining the situation to him he said he would be by in a couple of hours to fix the problem, He never showed up. The next morning I called him and he said he would be out in a few hours so we waited all day and he never showed up or even called. At 7PM I went to the office to see if they could give me another name, well the office was closed. Knowing that the owners lived in a house at the CG I walked to there house. This time I spoke to the husband (owner) he said he didn't know what I could do...who I could call...and further more he said he would never had recommended the guy that was supposed to come out who was recommended by his wife. And at that he turned around and went into his house to continue watching TV. Being left on my own I found a phone book and called a Ford dealer who also has a RV repair shop, he put me in touch with a towing company. The next morning we got towed in...new rotors, brakes, and brake cylinders were installed and that evening we were on the rode again. We spent and paid for 3 nights at this campground when all we intended to do was spend 1 night. DO NOT I SAY DO NOT EVER STAY AT THIS CAMPGROUND. The owner (husband) has about as much compassion as a dead fish. Talk about Southern hospitality. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The owners weren't exactly rude, but they weren't exactly cordial, either. Beyond that, the owner blamed us for tripping a circuit breaker because we had the audacity to use the electric heat strips in our little 17-foot Casita travel trailer, which was hooked up to what was supposed to be 30-amp service. Yes, we had the TV and microwave on at the same time, but we don't believe we were getting 30 amps of service, despite having paid over $30 a night for the site. We have never had a problem using our appliances at any other campground. Perhaps they should use some of that money to upgrade their electrical system. Even before that incident, we had decided we wouldn't be returning to this campground, chiefly due to the rather indifferent additudes of the owners. Thankfully, there are plenty of campgrounds to choose from in the Asheville area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Made a reservation 4 weeks ahead of time and within two days called to cancel due to change in plans for a different campground in area. Cancellation was made a month ahead of arrival and they charged my card a 5.00 fee!? Not a good business practice...BEWARE! I'll never go for this one again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Our stay at Bear Creek was very nice. The management was very welcoming and friendly. We stayed for one week and will stay here whenever we come to Asheville. The sites are all paved and the grounds are clean. It is also located close to everything. Nice mountain views. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The owner was kind enough to come find us when we were lost trying to locate the campground. This would have gotten them a 10 Plus, but with only two shower rooms available and they were COLD and my shower head had a split in the pipe before the shower head,thus 80% of the water went against the wall. Thus a generous 8. The Host was somewhat less than helpful, not rude just nothing. Harry the owner is a great person. And they have been able to get spaces where no space is available. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A bit overpriced ($34 nightly rate paid was Good Sam discount price). It is sandwiched in the V between two interstates and there is a fair amount of road noise. Sites are pretty close together. There is no weekly rate, although monthly rates can be negotiated. The park is very convenient for visiting sights in Asheville, NC. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We've stayed at this campground 3 times mainly because it offers wifi. 2 of the times we were there it wasn't working at all and the last time it didn't have enough signal strength. We informed the office of this, but no one took an interest. I felt the grounds were nice, the location is good, but they've added new campsites to the lower part of the campground that had no landscaping. They have two laundry rooms, one was flooded, the other one was dirty. They charge $1.75 per machine which includes the dryer. Some were complaining the dryers weren't working properly. I believe we paid at least $34.00 a night, they offer no discount if you are there more than 7 nights. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Not many pullthru sites and the sites were very close. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Sites very narrow and close together. Good for an overnight stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very clean park. Nice level concrete pads. Easy on and off access from major highways. Plenty of room to back in my 30 foot fifth wheel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Sites are pretty tight together and the pull thrus are along a busy road. Road noise was not really bad, but then we had the coach closed up. Staff was pretty friendly and the campground was very well taken care of. Rate was a little steep even with the Good Sam discount. I'd recommend this campground to any one staying in the Asheville area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We arrived after dark and had difficulty finding a site, or at least how to get to the site. We chose a site listed on a piece of paper hanging outside the office as to which was available. After hooking up, leveling, putting out slides, etc. I turned on the faucet and we had no water. The sites on each side of us had water so apparently it wasn't frozen. We called the owners/managers but no one responded to our call. Our plans were to stay several days in this park, but due to the lack of assistance when needed, we left the next morning and do not plan to go back to this one. Even our neighbor who had been there a few days wasn't happy with the park but didn't know the area or where else he could go. I wouldn't recommend this park to anyone. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is absolutely the BEST Campground/Resort at which I have ever stayed. Although some sites are rather small, there are sites that will accomodate the largest legal size R/Vs. Very little on-site activity facilities, but many facilities are available nearby. The restrooms and showers are absolutely spotless. Maintenance is mostly done by the ownwer and the supreme cleanliness shows great pride by the owners. Simply the best! We visited in June of 2004 and the owners were working on expansion of additional sites. Cabin sites are available for those that do not have a R/V. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was one of the cleanest parks we have stayed in. The owners live on the premises and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable during your stay. The office staff are all friendly and helpful. We will definately be going back to this park. Also the park is in a great location. Close to the city and other attractions We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sent in deposit months in advance to receive a pull through with 50 amps. Was told this was no problem. Got a 30 amp backin. Staff was somewhat rude on occasion. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We've stayed here often in our motorhome. Most convenient location to all Asheville attractions, just off major interstate intersections, but noise not a problem. Well maintained park, roads all paved. Nice level, hard surface pads with good, well maintained hookups. Individual spaces are average size but adequate for toad and tow vehicles parking. Many big rigs always present. Some sites well shaded, others partial to no shade. Staff has always been friendly and accomodating, including owners. Bath facilites fair to good, nothing exceptional. One modem connection in office, access limited to office hours and demand from others. Accept cash or checks only. We camped here in a camper.

Excellent overnight stop. Easy in and out. Located right at exit 147 on I40 - real close to Biltmore Mansion. Well maintained - average sized sites. Pull-throughs are right at the side of a fairly busy local road. We camped here in a camper.

We have not stayed here in years but did try to give this campground another chance in 2001 and again the owners are so rude and unfriendly, we decided we were not giving this place any of our money! The campground itself is ok. Some sites are pull thrus but most are backins. The backins can accommodate large rigs but the sites are narrow (20/25ft wide) so you are on top of other campers. They do have concrete pads with grass surrounding the site. The reason I rated don't know for family campground is as rude and hateful as this couple is I would think they would be hateful to children and pets. Thank goodness Asheville has gotten some good campgrounds in the past few years. If the couple that owns this one will retire, it will definitely be worth staying at. We camped here in a camper.

It has been raining since we got here but the park is very enjoyable. It's neat, tidy, well organized and well run. In excellent repair and modern. This is a very quiet area, no road noise with beautiful views of French Broad River Valley. Only "down" sides are that it doesn't have a pool or hot tub and it is kind of tight if driving a big rig. The sites are nice and good sized, but the roads up to the campground are tight. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Asheville. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our first time camping with our trailer and what a fabulous start. We paid for the premium view site and wow was it worth it! Spectacular views. The girls loved hiking down to the fishing pond. It was beautiful and well kept. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here a week in July. This was our 4th time here. It is still a great place sites are much wider and deeper than most. The campground is clean and quiet and has magnificent views. The WiFi and cable had excellent reception. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Beautiful hill-top park minutes from Asheville. Common bath/shower clean if not modern. Wi-Fi worked well, smaller campground so book early. No problems at all. Some sites with spectacular views. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had premium site 5 and it was well worth the additional cost. The view was the most beautiful we've ever enjoyed in 15 years of RVing! Management was very welcoming, even when we arrived hours before our scheduled check-in. Note: There is a very firm 3:00 pm check-in so all the folks checking-out can clear the fairly tight mountain road before new folks start driving up. We promise to remember the rules when we return and we definitely will return! We camped here in a Motorhome.

I agree with the others, don't let the road up deter you. The campground is very well kept and the views are beautiful. The staff is fantastic and there are some really good hiking trails. The only 2 problems I found were the RV sites. The deluxe sites are not level. They are so far off I ran out of stroke on the leveling jacks. The other problem is the trees. I like trees but I had a choice of being able to put out my slide or being able to put out my awning. The other deluxe sites are the same from what I saw. Next time I will pay extra for a premium site but really one should not have to for a site that is at least level. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The other posts virtually say it all. Do not let the "climb up the mountain" deter you. The road is very doable. Our 40' MH plus toad had no problem. Even passed a truck coming down. Staff could not possibly be nicer or better. The view from P2 was unbelievable! First class and wonderful! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has a great view and is worth the trip up the hill. I did not find it a problem in a 37 ft. motorhome, but was glad I didn't meet another vehicle. My only concern was that there was not much for the kids to do. There is no pool, game room, etc. It is very quiet and well-maintained. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I don't think I can add anything from the previous reviewers who have given this campground a 10. It so deserves all the accolades. The staff were SO helpful and kind, and they keep the place immaculate. We normally camp at State Parks because we prefer the natural beauty but a sudden death brought us quickly to Asheville, and we just happened upon Campfire Lodgings. What a gem. It had everything we needed for our quick stop-over, and I wish we had more time to enjoy it. We didn't have a premium site as they were booked, but ours was lovely anyway. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

What a view! This RV park is on my short list of favorites. The park is small but the facilites and amenities are great. Clean and private bathrooms. Adequate laundry facilities. Gravel roads and sites pads with concrete patios. Awesome picnic tables with back rests - more campgrounds should invest in these. We had an AWESOME view of the mountains and the French Broad River from our site. We really enjoyed waking up in the morning and watching the fog lift to reveal the mountains across the way and sitting by our campfire as the sun lit the clouds as it went down and the mountains disappeared each night. The staff was friendly and accomodating. Of course, you have to climb the mountain before you can look down from it and in this case, the road up was a little hairy but totally doable with our 35' 5th wheel. There were several other 5th wheels and some class A's at the top as well but most were smaller class B's or pop-ups. Overall, we loved it and will definitely reserve another mountain view site if we return to Asheville. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We absolutely LOVE this campground! It is our new favorite place and has gone to the top of our list. The views are breathtaking. Each night we were treated to the most beautiful sunset. We stayed at one of the premium sites and it was worth every penny. The restrooms were very clean. The grounds are well maintained. I can’t say enough about our hosts, Ande and Matt. They were wonderful. I feel like we have 2 new friends. Do not hesitate to ask for recommendations, as they are very knowledgable of the area. Save our spot … as we are counting the days until we return! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent campground. The premium sites (concrete slab) are well spaced and landscaped to minimize the views of utility connections. Andie and Mat were both very nice hosts/staff and very willing to help if have questions regarding Asheville and local restaurants. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have stayed in many campgrounds over the years some with very good service and very friendly staff. This place is absolutely fantastic. I thought Ande and Matt were the owners! The way they treated guest was simply outstanding! The owner has a major asset in these folks and should not let them get away! As other reviewers have said this place is very well kept. You can tell they take a great deal of pride in the place. We stayed a week in site P2.A level parking slab and a view that was simply fantastic! This is a very special place for us and we plan to visit Ande and Matt as often as possible! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have been RV campers for 30 years and have visited campgrounds throughout the United States from Maine to Washington State and Canada from Nova Scotia to British Columbia. This campground is the best campground we have ever experienced. Hosts Matt and Andy were absolutely great and maintained the beautiful grounds and facilities better than Disney World's Wilderness Campground. We left feeing we had stayed with good friends. Spectacular views over the French Broad River and Smokey Mountains changed like a kaleidoscope throughout each day of our stay. Road access was safe and easy even in the rain with our Blazer dingy in tow behind our 36' Monaco Dynasty as we exited on our last day. We definitely will be back again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent views, extremely friendly owners!! Can not say how much we enjoyed staying there!! Private, quiet, and heavenly!!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

The view from this campground is spectacular! Our site was very nice. The cement pad was in excellent condition. It even had its own garbage can. We really enjoyed our stay here. We were able to visit many tourist spots. There were also nice trails right at the campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We decided to try Campfire Lodgings because of the great reviews it has and after staying 3 days we found it is everything people said. It is clean. The views are great. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We drove around asheville to see some of the other campgrounds in the area and we were so glad we stayed at Campfire Lodgings. When we come back to Asheville we will definitely stay there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

CG was very nice. I echo the first portion of a previous review where the person gave several 10's for the sites, view, etc. We found the stay very enjoyable. I had limited interaction with the staff (3 minutes at check in). Four of the six water closets were closed for repair when we were there. I didn't find that uncommon as it's winter and a good time for renovations. The one I used was very clean and was 100% functional. The reason I gave an overall of 9 is the road getting to the place. Once you turn off the highway there is about 100' of pavement then a curvy narrow dirt road cut into the hill. Being from WV I didn't find it abnormal, but a person who isn't used to driving in confined spaces may find it difficult. It takes some planning on where to position your rig to make the next turn. If possible stop at the bottom of the hill and call the CG to inquire if any rigs are coming down as there is no place for passing. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Wow - what an incredible park! I agree with most previous reviewers - truly one of the most beautiful locations we have seen. The views especially from the premium sites are breathtaking! And those sites are paved and level which is an added bonus. The entire property is well maintained and the mountain trails provide for great hiking. We will definitely plan a visit again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I struggled to come up with a rating for this place. We arrived with a “Wow” feeling but left with a soured feeling. Let me explain… Campfire Lodgings is in a perfect location. High on a mountaintop, close to Asheville and all it has to offer. The Blue Ridge Parkway is just over the next ridge. So rate it a “10”. The view of the French Broad River and the valley below is outstanding. So rate it a “10”. The office and gift shop is a cute log cabin filled with nice stuff to delight any camper. So rate it a “10”. The sites are level and properly equipped. The premium sites (P1 thru P5) are concrete slabs., and feature the best views of the valley. So rate it a “10”. So far, so good! However, the bathhouse disappointed; it is a trailer disguised to look like a log cabin. The interior spaces are small, and it is deteriorating. The water pressure prevents the toilets from working and needed five or six tries to clear out. Sometimes we found poop in the bowls! I had mentioned this to one of the camp/workers, but it did not improve during our seven-night stay. So rate it “1”. We arrived knowing that the management is very fussy and enforce the rules to the letter. No problem because good places stay that way with fair rules that are enforced. However, it is the methods and attitude of the person enforcing the rules that makes the difference. We got a hard time about parking, but there were no “No Parking” signs where we parked. We were up front about visitors, even getting extra parking passes, only to be treated like trailer trash on our last day when this person demanded to know, “How many people are in there anyway! There is an extra charge for visitors!” We had paid for our over-night guest previously. So rate the management a “1”. The bottom line is that the campground is great; the management sucks! Therefore, my final rating based on how I felt when we left is a “2”! I hope that the owner will get the message. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

What a picturesque campsite. Very clean and quiet, with stunning views. The owner was very pleasant and attentive, and helpful with regard to what to do in the area. If we go again (we are planning to), we would definitely book the premium sites as they have the best views. Maneuvering our 35ft 5th wheel was a little tight, but definitely worth it. Not ideal for children as there are no activities, except horseshoes, but great for hiking which we did every day with our 3 dogs. Only 10 minutes to Asheville and the Biltmore Estate which was amazing. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have camped here for weekly stays 3 times this year and have loved the scenery, well-kept grounds and clean facilities. The toilet/shower rooms are clean and private. The manager and maintenance man are helpful, friendly and responsible. They make sure the camp is kept quiet, clean and safe. We camp in the Asheville area from Florida at least 3 times a year and would not camp anywhere else. Previously, we camped in a campground nearby which had dirty bathrooms, muddy sites and was in need of repair. We will never go back there after discovering Campfire Lodgings. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is our second visit to Campfire Lodgings, both times for a month, and we loved it just as much each time. The manager is one of the most caring and accommodating people we've met in our three years of full-timing from coast to coast. She bends over backwards to help solve any problems that come up while camping there. One of the many things I've seen her do is help a woman who had a sick dog with arrangements for her to get the dog to a veterinarian. A campground can be beautiful, which this place is but, in my opinion, it's the people who run it that push it over the top. I continue to recommend this RV park to everybody who asks about Asheville. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Earlier ratings gave this campground a number of 10s.Things have changed. Once, it was run by a partnership of Stormy and Andy.Stormy has gone and Andy has the friendliness of a cobra with PMS and the attitude of a skunk on steroids. We braved the road up to the campground (and it was scary) but, when we got to the top, we found one of the most beautiful campgrounds with the most beautiful views we have ever seen, especially from Sites P1-P5. Our delight, however, was soon diminished by a haugty woman (Andy) who informed us we were two hours ahead of check in time and, even though the park was empty, she would allow us to park on our reserved site,but not turn on the water or electricity, or make the sewer connection for two hours "because you are not paying for it." We had reservations for a week, and the whole week ws ruined by this woman. In addition, we saw two other couples that also arrived early (nobody told us check in was at 3 p. m.) and, since check out was noon, we assumed, like the other couples,l we could get there shortly after noon. These other couples were also chewed out and were very, very angry.To add insult to injury, the manger gave us a "welcome bag" with a stale candy bar and outdated coupons to purchase paper prouducts at a store. A great campground ruined by lousy management. Stay somewhere else. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This place is tops. It is on the top on a mountain and top rating. Staff are friendly and helpful and funny. We can't wait to stop here again. Don't forget to unhook your tow car at the bottom of the hill. It is quite a pull that last 50 feet. We camped here in a Motorhome.

WOW! Believe the previous reviews - this place is wonderful. Very hospitable hosts, a breathtaking view, clean and quiet sites. We camped overnight on site #1 (sites 1-5 are premium sites) and wish this had been a destination instead of a stop-over. Pricey at $54, but found it to be worth it. Follow the website's driving directions in - easy access from the interstate. The driveway is gravel with a fair slope, but wouldn't find it a problem unless ice is a concern. Very child and pet-friendly. Wish we had more time to walk the trails and explore. Even though it is over 7 hours away from home, we are already planning a return trip for next year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here at Premium site #3 for 5 nights and this place is WONDERFUL!!! The view from the premium sites is incredible and gorgeous beyond words. The park is small, quiet and very clean and Andy is the best camp hostess anyone could ever ask for. She's the best. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Quiet adult oriented park with fantastic views. Very nice manager. Convenient to Asheville. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a concrete pad site with a wonderful view of the Smoky Mountains and the French Broad River. Definitely would stay again!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

All I can say about this place is WOW! Nice grounds and the sites are very well kept and landscaped. Hosts are so friendly and helpful. They make you feel like old returning friends even if it is your first visit. In response to some of the previous reviews commenting on the steepness of the road to the campground, the road was no where near as steep as some of the interstate hills. We had no problem whatsoever pulling up their drive. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Premium site views are breathtaking. If you are going to stay here, please try to get one these paved sites. Lovely peaceful place with a very friendly and helpful manager. Just be aware there is a twisty hilly road to get to the campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautiful view. Very clean. Very well kept. Owners take pride in facility. Very Friendly. Nice hiking trails. Close to Asheville. Can't wait to go back! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

By far our favorite park in the entire United States. Stormy and Ande make wonderful hosts. They are very accommodating - one of our cats got sick and they helped us find a vet, and extended our stay without problem. Views are to die for. The entire campground is spotlessly clean. Nice hiking trails. The road up can be a little dicey, like someone said before, beware of that last turn or you could end up in someone's front yard! Still, well worth the extra money for the location. Will be back as often as we can, maybe twice a year. Can't wait to return!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

If you are able to stay in one of their premium sites (#1-#5)then this park is very good. Those sites have level concrete pads, have beautiful views and have a good Wi-Fi connection. Unfortunately, we were not able to get into one of those sites and, as a result, this park is very average. The other sites are gravel, not level and the Wi-Fi does not work. Additionally, as mentioned by others, the access road is narrow and a real challenge and I would not recommend doing it with a toad attached. Another issue that we found was that the park was not really dog-friendly. There are several walking paths but they are pretty rugged and are overgrown with weeds and, since the park is on top of a mountain, there are not a lot of places for pets to do their business. On a positive note the owner was very friendly and helpful and the restrooms are quite clean. If we could stay in one of the premium sites we would definitely stay here again but, otherwise, we would pass. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great little campground on top of the mountain in Asheville. The managers (Stormy and Ande) are awesome folks who do a fantastic job of maintaining the campground and ensuring your stay is a good as can be. There are 4 or 5 premium sites that have a million dollar view across the mountains and valley below. These sites also have nice, level concrete pads. The other non-premium sites are gravel, semi-level, in the trees with no, or very minimal view, but still very nice sites. All RV sites have full hookups and cable. Wi-Fi works if you're close to the office, but it did not work at our site that was towards the end of the campground in the trees. It's a very quiet, peaceful campground. Great trails to walk yourself, and your dog! They are planning to expand the campground and add more sites, including more premium view sites, in the next year or so. The only negative, and the only reason I didn't rate it a 10, is the road leading up to the campground. It's about a half mile and it's a dirt and gravel road that is steep at some points, and it's very narrow with a couple of really tight turns. It would be really dicey if two large rigs had to pass each other. Actually, I don't think they could at most points along the road. They do try to manage this by asking folks to call from the bottom of the hill if they arrive before check in time, so they can coordinate with anyone leaving at the same time. We made it up the road with our 40' motorhome with toad attached (luckily, no one coming down at the same time), but we were within inches of trees and rocks. When we left, we waited to hook up the toad until we were safely at the bottom of the road. But, it was well worth the few minutes of stress going up/down the hill to stay at this campground! HIGHLY recommend it! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a must stay park if you are in Asheville. You can't beat the views and the beautiful surroundings. All sites are back ins with easy access. If you call, ask for a view site, you will be pleased. The road up to the top of the hill where the park is located takes a careful approach but I pulled a 40 ft fifth wheel up...just take it easy. We toured 15 states and 20 parks in our summer adventure, this park is our favorite! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed in this campground for the entire month of May. The views are spectacular. Lots of hiking trails in the immediate area. We will definitely return as it is one of the best places we have stayed this past year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I am new to this deal but this is the most exhilarating experience I have had so far... The premium spaces are unbelievable for view. It is hard to find and a climb to get to but WOW! I will return soon... We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a small campground but you cannot beat it. It is hands down one of the nicest places I have ever camped. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the bathhouse is just wonderful. You get your own little place with a shower, toilet and dressing area with a locking door - just heaven. And it is only 10 minutes from downtown Asheville, but you would never know it - it is so quiet and peaceful. And everyone seems to love dogs - I would stay here every time I am in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Stayed in a popup. A steep, narrow, twisting gravel entrance road. Sites average spacing. Expensive ($38) for what you get (no pool, gameroom, etc.) Five sites across from the office have spectacular views of the mountains, but the others are not worth the price. They claim to have WiFi, but it doesn't reach the outer sites. Since the sites are strung out along a road, the outer sites are a LONG way from the bathrooms. The bathrooms are actually individual bathrooms, just like at home. Each has a sink, toilet, and shower. Unfortunately, there are only FOUR of these rooms for the whole campground! Thus, FOUR individuals showering, or fixing their hair tie up all the toilets. Overall: nice, but not worth the price. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We loved this park. We were headed to a family reunion in South Carolina from Indiana. We found this campsite on the Internet, called and got reservations, had no problems checking in. They have 5 "primo" spots, that feature a great view. We were able to get one of those, it is a great quiet park. The staff was very friendly, nice showers and bathroom facilities. Very easy trial to hike, walk. During our hike we saw a bear, that was a highlight to our stay there. We only stayed one night but would stay agian if we were in the area. We had no problem getting up the hill with a full-size four wheel drive truck and 26 foot travel trailer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Access to campground is via a steep dirt road. But don't shy away from this one, the views across the French Broad River to the Blue Ridge Mountains is spectacular (I'll bet Vanderbilt wishes he had this view at Biltmore Estate). Campground has lots of wildlife. It is clean and very quiet. The only reason I rated this campground a 9 instead of a 10 was because of the access road (some signs would help to assure the driver that they are on the right path). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park had an "Oh my gosh!" view that should probably make most any other problem seem insignificant. The staff was very friendly, but a bit absent from duty at times. When we called for a reservation there was no answer so we left voice mail. A lady returned our call the next day and apologized for taking so long to get back to us because she had been out of town. This wasn't really a problem since we were calling several weeks in advance. The road up to the park was narrow and gravel, but we had no problem even with a 37 ft. motor home and a tow car—just watch out for that last sharp left turn or you will end up in someone's house. There was no one in the office when we arrived, but our site was posted outside, and we had no trouble locating it and setting up. We had a premium site (they have the best views) which was cement, level, and plenty long with a patio and a grassy area. As stated in another review there is a steep drop-off by these sites, but there was still plenty of room for us (sites 2 & 3 seemed to have the most room). There is also an area in the center of the park for large gatherings. We never saw anyone in the office that whole day, so we paid the next. (Hey, if they weren't in a hurry to get their money, it didn't bother us.) Their TV cable was good, and the WiFi was strong at our site, but you do need to get the code from the office. The individual bathrooms were clean, but were showing a little bit of wear. The laundry was small but nice. And did we mention the view?!--beautiful mountains with the river visible below. Yes, there was fog in the morning, but it only added to the charm. We just happened to meet the people in sites 1, 2, and 4, and none of them were park workers when we were there. We definitely recommend this park, and hope we get to stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There were four campers in our group that stayed at Campfire Lodgings on May 5,6,7. It was the first time there for all of us and we had read some good reviews. We had made reservations for 3 premium sites together and one directly across from the others two months in advance. When we got there, the friendly but totally incapable person working the office counter advised there was only one premium space available but we could pick from other available spaces deeper in the park in the trees. The others may not be together. She said they rented the premium spots to someone else. So much for having reservations. We found out that Premium spot #1 was occupied by one of the park workers. Spots 16,17, and 18 were also park workers. For a park with only 19 spaces to begin with, 4 of the better spaces were blocked by employees. We chose premium spot 4. I guess the view would be wonderful when it wasn't foggy but that was about 90% of the time. The premium spots also have very little yard and although we tried to have a group meal and get-together around the campfire ring, the ring is on a slope and about 5 feet from dropping off the cliff. Only a couple of chairs could be placed around the campfire due to safety. For having WiFI, we were in Premium site #4 and could only occasionally get the wifi signal strong enough to use. If it won't send a signal even 100 feet, what use is it? We used our own shower and toilet but some of the others used the shower facilities in the park. Although clean, they complained of no hot water on more than one occasion. Management was a hit and miss to catch in the office. If they were in the park at their camper, they were off duty and didn't want to be bothered. The trash cans at each site were full when we got there on Friday. It was Monday AM before they were picked up. In the meantime, on Saturday night, a black bear got into several of the cans and knocked them over. Contents were strung about. One of the campers in our group watched from her Motorhome. The people in the sites ended up cleaning up after the bear the next day as management didn't do anything even when told. One of the members of our group had an item stolen from their campsite. Management didn't seem to care when told. The turn around at the back of the park is very difficult for someone pulling a 30' travel trailer because of the tight circle. We did fine in our 34' 5th wheel though. There is also a large hole that was full of mud and water from the rains in the turn around. It has obviously been that way for some time but not repaired. It is deep enough to cause clearance problems for some trailers or possibly get stuck in. Since it is in the designated turn around and there is not much of a way to avoid it, this problem should have been repaired a long time ago. Apparently if a problem doesn't inconvenience the management, it isn't a problem. None of us will ever use this campground again, nor will we refer it to anyone. $45 for the premium and $38 for the muddy sites is way too much for this park. If the owners (who live out of state) wish to keep this park alive, they better get some competent management help onboard to address the problems. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Arrived here during midweek for a 3 night stay while visiting the area. Stayed at site 2, a premium site with excellent views. Folks managing the place were very friendly and we found the bathrooms/showers to be very clean. Would have given a 10 rating if I could have connected to the wireless network. The manager couldn't help me with this but I do know that others staying here had no problems connecting. Campground is somewhat secluded but you can be in downtown Asheville in about 10 minutes. I would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

My understanding is the old manager has changed jobs and they have a person filling in until a new manager can be hired. If the lady filling in hires a new manager like her this campground want stay open much longer. The campground is clean, nice sites , & great views but I won't pay this much money to feel like I'm bothering her. The office is locked most of the time, if anyone is even there. I will not stay here again unless the management changes. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We're fulltimers and this is our favorite park. We've been here 4 times this year. We have a 40" MH with a tow vehicle and we have no problem getting up the road to the park. Views are awesome, winter and summer. Staff is wonderful and very accomodating. P-2 is our favorite site but P-1 through 5 are all great for the views. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Highly recommend this campround; it was very secenic and pleasant. Located on top of a mountain ridge, what a view. We were able to get one of their premium sites with a wonderful view of the valley between the campground and the mountain range looking to the Smoky Mountains. I would say the campground is better suited to couples than families. Not too much for the kids to do. Well keep up and and very clean. Has a very steep entry road to the campground. We like it so much, wife booked for next year too. This was our first visit. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We didn't stay here, but drove up to check it out because we wanted to see what you get for $10 more per night than we're paying elsewhere. The first 3 sites do have a gorgeous view, but for class A motorhomes, that last steep turn will definately be a tail scraper...BEWARE! In addition, we didn't see how anyone could turn around anything bigger than 30' to get out. Good luck. I'll be staying elsewhere. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have been camping about 6 years and this was probably our very favorite park. We are not real big on lots of activities - we camp to relax. This park was made for that. We were in premium site #3. Right on the edge of the mountaintop with a view that went on forever. The sites are designed to be very private, laid out almost end to end instead of side by side. We could not even see our neighbors. We had a very large concrete pad, heavy duty picnic table, and well placed fire ring. Each site had it's own trash can and a small light pole at the site entrance and at the utility hookups. Everything about the campground was extremely neat and clean. Owners were very friendly. Did not use the bath house or laundry but building looked new and clean just like the new office. It was a little scary coming up the gravel mountain road for fear that we might meet another camper. We never met anyone else so it was ok. Also since we pull a 37ft 5th wheel with a long 3500 pickup, manuevering in the turnaround that you must use to get out was a little tricky - but we made it. We love visiting Asheville and now know where we'll be staying in the future. Loved this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Excellent bathroom facilities. Sites could be just a bit more level. Some were concrete pads. Some just stone. Steep access road but well maintained. Check with campground owner for WiFi access password. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

We stay here every opportunity we can. The view is gorgeous, the hospitality fabulous and wonderful amenities. We especially like the wi-fi and all the cable channels. We highly recommend this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed here September 2004 during major flooding in Asheville. We drove a class c motorhome 31'. I was a newbie rv'er and had no problems accessing the campground or our site. Beautiful views!!!!! The owners/managers were very friendly and helpful. Our two yorkshire terriers are ready to go back!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

All of the above! Plus, if you can, get site P4, an incredible view; when we left, people rushed over to see the view from our site. We have a 30' TT, and had no problem getting into the very level site. They are in the middle of constructing a new Office/cabin, but with the view, we never even looked that way! We highly recommend staying here, this was the first time that we had camped (my wife and I) without the kids, this peaceful location was just what we needed.AAA+++ We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

My husband and I went here for our first anniversary and plan on going back for many more. This campground was increadible!! Although having to drive up a dirt road to get there we had no trouble, our camper is a travel trailer 19 foot but we saw a 38 footer up there and one 38 foot travel trailer. The first thing we notice was the view was awsome! It is on the edge of the mountain and over looks more mountain ridges and the sunset. We were there in mid March and so got almost a 350 degree view of the mountains. In the summer about 150 degrees would be viewed. The next thing we noticed was the owners were VERY friendly and pet friendly. There were not many people there at the time and the owner told us we could let our dogs out to run and play and the owner even played fetch with them! Sites 1-3 were being worked on to put concrete slabs and upgrade to water and electric. These site have a very good view being right on the edge of the mountain ridge. They were also going to put a deck onto site 3. We stayed in site 6 which 5 - 7 have also excelent views. The site are amazingly level and we did not even have to use our leveling blocks. There are many walking trails and even a pond in which the dogs were able to swim. The trash is picked up daily by the owner so no loud trucks at 6:30 in the morning picking up trash. We had an awsome time and brag about it to all our friends. I just can not say enough positive about this campground and it owners! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a wonderful campground that is situated at the top of a mountain just outside Asheville. The drive up the mountain to the campground is by way of a gravel road which was easily driven. We pulled our 28 ft TT up the road with no problem. The view from the top is beautiful. The sites were spacious. Though there is no pool, game room, etc., the campground is the best in true camping. You are surrounded by nature, beautiful mountains and a wonderful atmosphere. It has a fish pond and hiking trails. Though rustic and natural in appearance, it offers modern camping with full hookups and clean bathhouse. The owners were very nice and cared about whether we were enjoying ourselves. We DID enjoy ourselves and recommend this campground highly. It is also close to major attractions such as the Biltmore Estate, Chimney Rock, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. A great campground! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

If you can get spaces 1-3 you have great view of mountains and river below. Other sites not too much view except for trees. Dirt road up mountain to campground but once there, gravel sites and roads. Very nice campground and we really enjoyed staying here for two weeks. Only 6 miles north of Asheville. Sites are not bad but not all sites are level. We will be back. $180 per week and $3 extra per night for phone hook-up and not available at all sites. We camped here in a camper.

This campground is on top of the mountain with some sites overlooking the valley.Not into amenities such as pool, clubhouse, etc just beautiful area. Family operated and very accommodating. Approx 15 RV sites with the rest tent camping. Have a few cabins. RV sites are extra large with plenty of grass and space around. Been camping for 15 years. Live near Asheville and because never found a good campground to stay in never took the MH to Asheville - just did day trips. Will return again and again to this place. Hate to give such a good review because don't want too many people to know of this wonderful "find." We camped here in a camper.

The park was very nice. Most of the sites are located on the river and the view is beautiful. The sites are a little close. The restrooms were clean but there was only one shower and the water was lukewarm. My daughter and I had to stand in line every night we were there. The reason I would not recommend this campground is because of the train track located on the other side of the river. A very long and loud train went by several times during the night waking my entire family. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Filthy facilities, Wi-Fi promised and paid for and then told it was not working. Broken down old campers were being used on a permanent basis by some and had an accumulation of trash and debris around them. Sewer connections were brimming to the top with raw sewage making dumping impossible and the smell was awful. The staff was unfriendly and seemed unwilling to exert any effort to correct problems. Ingress/Egress is limited to one narrow drive which was further complicated with the owners SUV parked on the drive. Their web site is state of the art and enticing, but the reality is disappointing and we felt inclined to lock up our camper and stay inside instead of enjoying the river. Three different campers complained of the residents of one site, which consisted of 3 men staying the back of a U-Haul truck, ordering pizza and staring at any and all females every time we made a move, but nothing was done to either move them or remove them, thus making us further inclined to stay inside our campers and out-of-sight of these men. We were very uncomfortable at this campground and the smell of sewage was horrible. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A very private park and gives you the real camping experience. We camped in a 37' motor home and towing a Jeep and we had no trouble making the turn at the dump station. True we did walk through that loop before doing it, but it wasn't an issue really. We swung wide and all that but made it easy. Plenty of spigots around the campground to get water as needed, just not on any campsites. I think you could drive up to one in your RV/camper and fill up without any trouble though. It is easy to get to and the roads aren't too steep or winding. We love it. They are closed for several winter months so be aware of that. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Primitive camping for the most part. The four or so sites that had electricity were filled with camp hosts. The hosts were very nice and we got some free kindling to start our fire. The bathrooms were ok and the one shower in the restroom was clean. The water level at the lake was low but we are in a drought. The lake is small (big pond) but makes for a good swimming place for kids. The lake is a bit of a hike from most of the campsites. I guess 3/8 mile but you can drive to the lake. Lots of hiking trails. it was very quiet and the leaves were beautiful. We spent 5 nights here. I did not use the dump station because I felt I could not get my 24 foot travel trailer and truck turned around on the very small loop. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a primitive facility campground without electric hookups, but does have water and sewer. We found the campground managers to be very helpfull and friendly. The sites are relatively private and large. There is a recreation lake, but this is not a campground loaded with facilities for children. This is a true campground instead of an RV park. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

There are only two non-host sites that have water or electric. This is a primitive campground in the foothills of the mountains around West Asheville, about a mile from the entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway. All sites are in the forest, very natural setting. If you are looking for a luxurious place to set up you satellite TV/internet, this is not for you. If you are looking for a campground where you can take your family and enjoy fishing at the lake, this is it. Asheville places to visit are just a short distance from the campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a clean, well-maintained, well-managed park and the owner is friendly and accommodating. Wifi was generally good, but sometimes slow and it disconnected unexpectedly a few times. Except for the deficiencies described below, we would rate this park 7. My pet peeve is difficulty entering and exiting pull-thrus. Shame on me for not paying better attention to prior reviews of this park. Some sites, particularly in Row C, are very difficult to enter and leave if your rig is longer than about 27-28 feet. Getting our 35-foot 5th wheel into a pull-thru in Row C with a long pickup (long bed, crew cab) was the most frustrating parking experience I’ve ever had, mostly because of parked toads and tow vehicles crowding the lanes in front of and behind our site. There was insufficient space to swing out, pull forward, or back up adequately to get positioned on the concrete pad without making several back and forth maneuvers. Throughout the park, the pads are so short that toads and tow vehicles must park perpendicular to the front of the RVs and the vehicles protrude into the driving lanes. There is adequate room to drive through the lanes, but not to maneuver easily into and out of some sites. Beause of a patio fence between sites, I had to close my slide out to have enough room to walk and to work as I connected and disconnected all the utilities (and I’m a small person). In some sites, the patio fence is placed where it is not a problem. We will not stay here again because of the vehicle maneuverability issues. If that doesn’t bother you, then this is a campground worth considering. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here seven nights. It is close to many attractions in the Asheville and western Carolina area. The campground is small and the sites are close together, but there is a wooden fence separating each site. We appreciated the concrete pad, level site and concrete patio area. We had a large shade tree. The campground backs up to a body of water which might be the river. We are in a dought and all the rivers in the area are at 50% capacity, so it is not visably flowing. If your site does not back up to it you won't know it was there. Gravel roads are well-maintained. The bath house also houses one stacking washer and dryer for campers use. This worked out as there are so few sites. Several people are stayed on a monthly basis probably working in the VA Hospital closeby. All the sites are neat. It is hard to tell who is paying monthly. The owners are on site and very helpful. Park rules are enforced. We spent quiet evening on our patio and had something new to explore in the area everyday. There is a train nearby but it did not interrupt our sleep. There were only a few open sites during our stay. It is within walking distance to three restaurants, convenience store and produce stand. The RV dealership and parts store is just down the road. Several campgrounds in the area are for sale, so be sure and call ahead for reservations. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We absolutely love this campground and have stayed many times in the past 7 years. Our site is 28 feet wide and we have a shade tree in our yard. It is a quiet, super friendly campground surrounded by mountains and trees. It sits beside the Swannanoa river and is close to the VA Hospital, shopping and downtown. It definitely exceeds our camping needs. NO,it isn't fancy but, Bill and his family are on site 24/7 and are ALWAYS willing to help anyone that needs help. Many of the campers have dogs here, including us. Bill is a stickler for following the pet rules which is very important to us. With regard to the last posting, we were here during their stay and they did not want to follow the pet rules. Leaving a dog outside, unattended and off lease has to be addresses for the safety of other campers and their pets. If Bill did not enforce his rules, we would not want to camp here! It is bad enough that he has to keep cleaning up after pets owners that think they don't have to be responsible for their pet's actions. I can't tell you the times that we have walked our dog and found piles left by inconsiderate campers who think that rules don't apply to them. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an older CG and the drive roads are a bit narrow. But most sites have a concrete pad with concrete pad for picnic table and a wood fence between sites for privacy. My overall rating is perhaps a point higher because of very friendly and helpful owner, who seems to be everywhere at once 24 hours a day. Plus the grounds are very well maintained and clean. This was a repeat visit for us. No pool or other amenities, but we stayed here 8 days. Very convenient to Asheville. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Although pets are allowed, this is not a dog friendly RV park. If you want to let your pet get some fresh air, be prepared to sit with it while it's outside. Don't even go inside your rig for a few minutes or one of the questionable looking permanent residents will tell the owner on you. It is not particularly kid friendly either. It is extremely crowded with only the front of your space to park your tow vehicle or toad (there is visitor parking on the far East side of the campground). We had to move our truck twice in the week we stayed to allow our neighbors to leave or pull into their spaces. The interior roads are gravel while the spots are two strips of level concrete. The park is for sale; however, the owner, Bill, is still keeping appearances up. There is one over/under washer dryer ($1.50 ea) in the bathroom. You have to pay Bill first to use it as it is not a commercial model. When he closes the office, he turns off the breaker to the w/d so get your laundry done early! The train tracks are an unobstructed 1,000 feet behind the park. Worst part is the tracks are on a curve and when steel wheels take curves on steel rails...they squeal and screech. We would not stay here again. It is too crowded (sites are 18 feet apart) and with the extra vehicles, it's really hard to maneuver around. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The best thing about this campground is its proximity to downtown Asheville. We stayed for five nights, while my husband was on assignment in the area. The WiFi connection was strong, which was important as I need it to work throughout the day. Unfortunately, the pull-throughs are short, and quite close together, so if you have a toad you must unhitch upon arrival before pulling into your site. (This would be a challenge for me when I travel solo, but fortunately, my husband was along on this particular arrival!) We camped here in a Motorhome.

The site was small and cramped,and there is not much space between each site. The wifi worked ok, it was hanging from an extension cord in a tree. While the sites are pull-thru, you have to unhook a tow vehicle before going to your site. We stayed here for one night so that we could visit Biltmore Estate. The host was nice and helpful. The host is on-site 24/7. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sure don't know what Taps park the last reviewer stayed at but certainly not the same one where we have stayed 14 times(sometimes for several months at a time). We park on a cement pad with a large cement patio and a privacy fence. There is plenty of room to put out our awning and there is a picnic table at every site. We certainly have no feeling of being crowded or too close to our neighbors. The owner of the park is friendly and helpful. We have stayed at other parks in Asheville and this one is definitely best for us. We camped here in a Motorhome.

OK place to stay. Owner was terrific, but roads are tight and hard to get into site. He has tow cars and trucks parked in front of the spaces, so turning to get into a space is almost impossible. Train can be noisy, but they seem to stop at night, so sleeping was not a problem. Close to the VA Hospital, if that is a concern. Cute little patio with a tree and privacy screen is a nice touch. Really, it is just a place to lay your head if you are sight seeing, otherwise, stay at the one on top of the mountain. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

You have to be kidding me! This place is like packing a sardine can! I could almost reach out and touch my neighbor! Could you cram any more sites into a 1/2 acre of land! Not my idea of "accommodations". If I didn't need to dump, I would have just stayed at a Walmart, it wouldn't have been any noisier with the trains. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Quiet, friendly park. Good location for seeing the sites in Asheville. Restaurants are within walking distance and there is a great produce stand nearby. Owner-run and well maintained. Train is close, but not as close as some parks I've stayed at. It didn't bother us. We had some repairs and had to extend our stay a few times and the owner was very accommodating. We camped here in a Motorhome.

As others have stated, good park. Stayed for a few nights. Helpful owners. Smallish but level sites. Good WIFI signal, even at end of park. No fault of the owners, but regular train traffic a few hundred feet away across the river. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Was a first time full-time camper. Stayed just one week less than a full year. Bill and family took care of me like family. Friendly from the first contact to the last. Bill taught me so much. Several others were long term as well but many "in and outers". Close to town and all attractions. Made lots of friends w/ other visitors. Willing to return any time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Park is right off interstate and close to East Asheville. Owner keeps this park clean. Spaces are tight, though, with little additional parking available. Many of the spaces had a small fence and a tree which made it feel very cozy. Very clean restrooms and showers. Good wireless internet connection maintained. Though a train does pass behind the park I didn't notice a large increase in noise. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

An overall decent facility run as a tight ship by on-site owners. Mostly long-term rentals, with few sites available for overnighters and no shade or stream sites, even though you'll find those in the description. This can sometimes be a negative at some places, but all sites were kept up, clean, and the place overall was very quiet. Not much for landscaping, but restroom facilities were clean for the most part. Two all-in-one bath/shower rooms were always damp, with mold and mildew. This is because the weak vent fans only worked when the light was on and you were supposed to turn the light out. Can't imagine how bad this gets in summer. Location between busy road and near railroad track and next door to go-cart track could be noisy at times, and was not really near anything of note in Asheville. Next door with easy access to quick mart gas station for supplies. Good SECURE wireless Internet. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed several weeks here and really enjoyed it. Park is very clean and well kept. It is older and somewhat tight to get around. Sites are close but this is an urban area and elsewhere in Asheville is the same or worse. Very convenient location and easy to get to from I-40. On site owner keeps tight rein which is very good. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

It's a nice park to overnight in. It's an older park and sites are small, so it's tight getting large RV's around the roads. Sites have a concrete pad, and a picnic table. Quiet at night. We would stay there again if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Bill the owner lives on site big difference. WiFi works great and is secured which also is very nice. Bill was most helpful on all of my inquiries. I needed directions to a near by resort for business meeting no problem. Bill gave me a map and highlighted he path. Asked where I could jog near by again no problem. He gave me directions to a near by park where there would be few cars and as flat as can be expected running in the mountains. He even knew the exact distance of the run if I chose to go to very end. Asked where a good steak house was again made excellent recommendations and provided directions and advised of several other type restaurant in the vicinity We camped here in a Motorhome.

Convenient location in Ahseville. Nice owners on-site. Lots of noise from traffic and trains. Not a scenic park at all. Just added wireless! We camped here in a Motorhome.

You can't beat this campground for convienence! Our site was pretty quiet, but there are some sites that are very close to the road. Owner is friendly & fun. It's not the most scenic, but it's a lot less $ than other places that are further away from town. Internet is DSL and only $2/day for the site, not per laptop (we have 2), but it's a bit on the slow side. Cable TV is excellent with 79 channels. We'd definately stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an extremely tight campground with inadequate parking and very small sites. The "privacy fences" are a joke. It is definitely not visually appealing. Additionally, management was very rude. Trains comes near (about 100 yards away) the park several times a day, and it doesn't matter whether or not they blow the whistle, it sounds like it's comming through your living room. I definitely will not stay here again, and would recommend that anyone else considering this place spend just a few dollars more and get a decent campsite. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park is very clean and well maintained. The owner and his family are very friendly and helpful. It is in town but it has a country feel to it. There is a train but it doesn't blow near the park. I would recommend Taps RV Park to everyone that is heading to Asheville, North Carolina. We camped here in a camper.

Nice smaller campground, close in, with restraunts all around within walking distance. Very friendly owner, lowest rates in town. Only draw back is 2 or 3 times a night , trains go by and are quite loud. We camped here in a camper.

This park is a pleasant place to spend a night or two. To stay many more than that you would have to enjoy continuous road noise. Inside the rv with everything closed it wasn't bad. It became very annoying during the short time we spent outside grilling. The I-26 off ramp that runs along the side of the park generates most of the noise. If you use a satellite, ask for a space next to the highway. The new concrete pads along the river are level while most of the ones on the highway side slope down slightly from the rear. The WIFI signals were strong and the tv cable service was clear with lots of channel selections. However, our cable outlet did not work and we had to connect with our next door neighbors. Most of the cable outlets have 3 way splitters so this isn't a problem if you have a long enough co-ax. The voltage at our space metered out 119 volts. We never saw any loiterers and at no time did we feel apprehensive about our security. Our stay here was pleasant and reasonable with the Passport America rate. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Clean park next to highway and river with concrete pads. The first pad I tried was way out of level. The second (and most of the sites) had a tree planted right where the sildeout goes. Road in was dirt with a sharp turn. Wi-Fi worked great. Warm and buggy in late April. Traffic noise was about the worst we've experienced anywhere. For convenience to Asheville, it was OK. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Overnight stop. Easy to find off I-26. Office (garage) parking lot had potholes but provided room to get turned around to go into the park. All sites are concrete pads, driveway dirt, but supposed to be paved in the second week of April. The TV and Wi-Fi were fine. Some road noise but not obtrusive with windows closed. The u-turn needed to exit onto I-26 was not doable for a dually with a 36' 5'er. Pulled up parallel to road in front of ball field and backed into driveway to turn around. Would have been a hassle in traffic, OK on Saturday morning. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Restrooms closed in winter. No security. Several times observed strange cars drive thru CG and back along river. Cop cars entered to same area. Quite a bit of highway noise. All sites are back in. Many were adequate for a 40' motorhome and toad. Very close to Biltmore (the Vanderbilt estate, well worth the trip). Contrary to the comments of a previous reviewer, exiting the park to I-26 with a large motorhome and toad should pose no problem for anyone with the minimum skills to operate an RV safely. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice park with concrete slabs to park on, reliable wi-fi internet and cable TV. We were only able to get satellite reception from the highway side sites. The only drawback to this park is the highway noise but we drove to one of the other parks close by and it was just as noisy and twice the money so this is by far the better bet. It is a Passport America park so the first night is $13 and subsequent nights are $16 which really make it better than the other parks around. We would come back to this park if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a decent RV Park. It now has all concrete pads. Most are big enough for a big rig. We have a 38ft 5th wheel. Pads are fairly level except the ones away from the river. We had to make a large adjustment to level our trailer. We moved to a different site and had little problem leveling. Water pressure is around 25-30, with high chlorine content. Water filters cleared that up. Electric was good. Some indicated that they had a very low voltage at their site, but I had no problem. Cable is great with about 100 channels. We could only get Satellite on the river sites. RV Office is about 100 yards from the camp sites and part of an RV repair garage. Entering the park is a bit unusual. From I-240 Exit 1C you have to go down to the Office/RV Garage and make a U turn using a paved road to get into the park. This is a Passport America park; $26 full price, $13 Passport America for 1st day $16 for more. Tony, park owner, is not very cordial but easy to talk to if you take the time to get to know him. The park is close to Biltmore Estate and Blue Ridge Parkway. We stayed here a week, and I would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A fine, no frills CG at a great rate (Passport America). We enjoyed the riverfront sites and the fact that the owner just paved the sites, so leveling was easy. Access to the Biltmore Estate, downtown Asheville and I-240 was quick and easy (see note below). Owner was friendly and also operates an RV repair business within a couple hundred yards of the CG. Would have rated this park higher, except that there is no wifi (owner noted that he is working on it) and the highway noise might be a factor to those who don't use white noise or earplugs. When you leave the park, be careful entering the I-240 access ramp. There's an island that makes it impossible for a large rig with tow vehicle to negotiate. Better to hook up in the public park directly across from the ramp and enter the ramp from the driveway out of the public park, rather than making a left from the access road onto the ramp. It's not a big deal to do so, as the ramp is only about 1/4 mile from the campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is right across the river from the Biltmore House & Garden which is a wonderful place to tour. There is a fee involved. Because this campground is on the river, they have a rafting company also and rent them when in season. They have a small RV store. We had a nice shady spot. This is a Passport America listed campground also. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We love this camp ground because of the large sites and being on the river. Agree with others about the on ramp to I 240 and the lack of WiFi. No security and some full timers seem to be living in the park, maybe construction workers. We camped here in a Motorhome.
