This was our first time camping at Lake Powhatan, and we had a bit of a mixed experience.On the positive side, our campsite was clean upon arrival, and the bear boxes provided were a useful amenity. The lake and beach looked nice, although it wasn't open for the season yet during our visit.However, there were a few areas that impacted our stay. The bathhouse facilities felt quite small given the number of sites and campers they served in the loops. We also encountered a challenging situation with what appeared to be a squatter across from our site. They had frequent visitors who, unfortunately, used our site for parking. While we overheard staff addressing the situation initially telling them they had to leave, it seemed they were later permitted to stay longer. This couple was disruptive at times with loud noise that carried late into the night and early morning, including what sounded like a domestic dispute. While the staff we interacted with were nice, this specific incident raised some concerns. Finally, we had no cell signal at our campsite and didn't regain service until we were back on the main road, which is something to be aware of.Overall, while there were some good points like the clean site and bear boxes, the issues with the neighboring campers, the size of the bathhouses, and the lack of cell service did detract from our experience.We won't write off the park completely, we'll give it another try in the somewhat distant future.

Our site (61) was a pull through but it was VERY tight. This campground has to be one of the quietest places that we have stayed (it was during the week and the place was just about empty). Cell service was marginal. All in all, a great stay and I would certainly stay here again.

Beautiful lake and campground. No hookups this time which would have made our stay better so we won’t go back without hookups.

Very nice campground and convenient to Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Conveniently located outside of Asheville, near many excellent mountain biking areas, and great hikes!
