First let me say that we love this campground and stay here 2-3 times a year. Its hard to get a site on the full hookup Lakeside Loop though so be prepared to book early with the six month rolling reservation window in mind. I dont remember the exact number of sites on that loop. Low 20s? But two are host sites, one is tent only, one is a double site, and one is held back for fire service, etc. Limited supply equals high demand. The vast majority of sites are very private and youll often feel like youre the only person there. On most sites, the sewer hookup is at the back. And on some its uphill, making it impossible to use (water doesnt flow uphill). A sidewinder doesnt help because its only 9 inches or so high. So be prepared to use the dump station. If you dont require hookups, there are some beautiful sites on the other loops. Big John in particular has some great sites! The bathhouses are very nice and spaced to be convenient to most sites. The road into the campground has some tight, blind curves that might be a bit of a challenge for big rigs. Take it easy and youll be fine. The location could not be better for enjoying all that Asheville has to offer and it literally adjoins the NC Arboretum property. And theres a Blue Ridge Parkway entrance right next to the Arboretum entrance too! Keep in mind that only a portion is open at this time due to storm damage. Going north, its closed just past the Folk Art Center. Going south, its closed just a few miles (5-10?) past the entrance near the campground. Enjoy!

Great check-in host. Lake Powhatan is a great, easy hike.

We stayed at Lake Powhatan in our RV for two nights. We liked the location. The sites were spacious and far enough apart for some privacy. There was a lot of hiking and we even found a waterfall. The bathrooms were nice and a couple of them had working heaters. As far as getting in contact with anyone during the winter it’s pretty much impossible. Tried all 3 numbers. But all the information we needed was online.

What a clean park. Bathrooms/grounds are spotless. Very quiet(almost too quiet)

Lake Powhatan is a fantastic place. The campground is also typically a good time. We've had many stays, and will continue to. However, it's now clear to us that there are a lot of inconsiderate campers around (Lake Powhatan specifically). Therefore, if you're coming - be prepared for the fact that you may be subjected to unsolicited, loud music. The music may come accompanied by an unleashed dog or two. And, be prepared for the campers playing the music to ignore requests to respect their neighbors. My point is, Lake Powhatan is a great place in the woods. Just don't come expecting a quiet and relaxing stay in the woods. It's often a roll of the dice (even in January).
