We found Lake Powhatan to be a delightful place to stay in the Asheville area. It was easy to find and close to several other attractions. The facilities were easily accessible, clean and well maintained. The staff were kind and friendly.

We stayed here post Helene. The campground was completely cleared of any downed trees as well as the road. The town still had no potable water but the campground ware is potable. Reliable electric. Some parts of Asheville still in tough shape but the businesses appreciated us being there to support them.

Lake Powhaten is close to Asheville, NC. Has plenty of hiking and mountain biking trails. Facilities are clean, staff is friendly. The sites are very private and well sized. Couldn't ask for anything better

Very good trip this time, however the campers in the buddy sites in our loop were inconsiderate of all of the other campers.

Our campsite was private even in March. The site was clean when we arrived. The restrooms and showers were nearby, clean, and had plenty of warm water.

Asheville is always a wonderful city to visit any time of year. And a stay at Lake Powhatan is perfect! We usually come in June and August every year for vacation, but this time we needed to come in January. Because of the time of year, it was not busy. It was too cold for most. Take a trip to downtown Asheville and enjoy to shops, restaurants and many breweries in the area. There are MANY outdoor activities to choose from.

It was quiet and serene and still beautiful. Weather was not too cold (fortunately) and the hiking was wonderful. Plenty to do nearby if the weather does get bad. A great place to stay.

Very private - could barely see neighbors. Gorgeous area. Drove to hike High Falls, Triple Falls, and Hooker Falls. A wonderful hiking day!

Very nice campground! So glad it is open in the winter. Might be the only time to get a site. Very popular the rest of the year.

We camped in a 23' travel trailer. Our site [41] was level. All sites were wooded on all sides; well, except the front, where you backed in. :) The bath house was very well maintained. The bathrooms were uni-sex & the showers were separate. The showers had a dressing area & plenty of hooks!
