Enjoyed our short five day stay at a full-hookup site. We did not use the showers but they looked very clean and well kept. Lake is a short walk away. We took walks/hikes on two easier well marked trails. Any needed supplies are available in nearby Asheville. If in the area again, will definitely look into staying again.

Nicely wooded, cute small lake with beach and small fishing pier. Very quiet and sites have good separation and privacy. Some sites are 2 levels so make sure it will work for your needs before booking. Bath house is small and limited, but clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. Bears in the area while we were there, but did not see any. We had zero cell coverage with ATT. Site 52.

lovely, deep woods gave privacy, even with close and nice neighbors. also remarkably unimpacted by nearby busy trails and city.

Sites were very private and nice. Fire ring not in great location. Toilet needed a little maintenance so we fixed the flush valve best we could at time to flush the toilet. Workers were all very nice.

Very nice campground. Spacious sites, friendly staff, beautiful location. Close to all the Asheville tourist attractions. We have a Class A motorhome and found the roads from the interstate to the campground challenging. They are narrow and winding.

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

Quiet campground with clean restrooms and showers. We were passing thru so didn't stay to enjoy hiking and biking trails. I will be back.

Loved the setting and the quietOnly there for an overnight- the only thing that got my intention for improvement was having instructions for how to use the shower and more than one place to put clothing- besides the small stool

Sites are nicely spread out. Good hiking near campground. It would have been nice to know ahead of time that their is no cell service available. All employees were helpful and friendly.

We love the RV sites, with the full hook-ups, the trails and the lake. If it wasn't for the power going out due to a storm, the whole weekend would have been perfect.

Very nice quiet park. Jimmy, the front camp host was extremely nice and accommodating. There are only a handful of sites for larger rigs like ours (40 ft motorhome) and only 1 that would be considered level... which was not the one we were assigned... :/ but we managed. We were grateful for so many aspects of the park. The peace and quiet was awesome after traveling and staying in noisy overnight parks. We were mainly in the area to visit family and it is very close and convenient to Asheville, Biltmore, Farmers Market and airport.

Lake very small. Maps need a lot of work to show trails and area to scale. Campsite was very nice, clean and private.
