Everyone at the front gate was so friendly. They helped with directions to trails and making last minute reservations when I wanted to stay longer. The bathrooms and showers were very clean. And the sites were very level and clean as well. I will definitely be coming back.

Very close to Ashville and we used the park for an overnight before turning in our camper van amd flying out of Charlotte. Hot and clean showers. Sites had leaves blown out and picnic tables. Lots of trees for privacy and good waste disposal due to bears. Campground was full but things were very quiet. The front booth was staffed with a very kind and helpful man.

We used Lake Powhatan Big John loop as a one night stop over on our way to camping in far southwestern NC. Sites are fairly level, easy to access for our small trailer and convenient for our travels. We love to walk to the Lake and enjoy the quiet forest.

Lake Powhatan is our favorite campground to visit in the Asheville area. The staff is always welcoming and friendly, the facilities are clean, and the ability to ride straight from our campsite to fun mountain bike trails cant be beat. Weve visited multiple times and will no doubt visit multiple times more.

Check in and checkout with Brooke made my stay happy arriving and when leaving. She was very nice and so accommodating and knowledgeable. The nice guy on the golf cart with my departure time reminder was very sweet. I felt very welcomed to stay there

The volunteers at the entrance varied from nice to down-right nasty. Site nine was clean, large and level. Bath house toilet clean. Shower pressure weak yet water stayed warm. Trails good shape. Very confused to find many electric sites available yet showed booked up on web. Folks at the entrance said they just did not show up. Does not make sense?
