Great campground. Large spaces and private. Only complaint were the showers. The water trickled (and that's being nice) out of the shower head. Otherwise it was a great stay. Make sure you check if your site has water if not fill the tank up first.

Great hike from the campsite to Hard Times trail then down to the Arboretum and Bent Creek. Some campsites dont have water hookups even if they have electricity.

Beautiful, quiet campground close to Asheville. Very well maintained!

The space I had was excellent with a good distance between campers. The staff was friendly and the campground was well kept. This is my second stay and I will return. The location is great and close to resturants and stores. Now if they could only finish the work on I-26.

The campground at Lake Powhatan is lovely, with beautifully spaced wooded campsites, some with shore power. It's a peaceful way to visit nearby Asheville, where you can buzz around seeing the sights, and then return to your campfire at night. My only complaint: our final night there, some drunken yahoo spent about 45 minutes revving and roaring around the campground in his very loud truck at 4AM, quite deliberately waking everyone in a half mile radius. I feel the campground hosts should be a little quicker off the mark in calling the police in. Other than that we had a great time there!

The staff is so pleasant and helpful. The grounds are immaculate and the bathrooms are very clean. We have camped here for many years and the current staff is doing a great job. Keep it up!

Awesome park, beautiful and perfect weather for our trip!

A beautiful campground with nice facilities and great hiking. I highly recommend hiking to the NC Arboretum. The proximity to Asheville is nice although we spent our 4 days just hiking the trails.

This is a great campground! The sites are spacious and separated by trees. It is conveniently located to Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway. There are lots of hiking trails and the lake is beautiful. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed on the Big John Loop. The site was a good size for our tent. The showers were warm and it was nice to have an individual shower.

Love this place to camp and hike. Its a great location to the parkway, trails, and town. Great camp spots with lots of space. Great bathrooms and showers. Although for some reason there are less Host per section than years before and little less attention to maintenance as result. The small lake is great to cool off in after a hike but desperately needs dredging, the small swim area is murky and not very deep anymore.
