We like Powhatan because of its easy access from Asheville and I-26. We had a nice private tent site #059 on the Hard Times loop. Good flat area for our tent, nice fire ring, shepherd's hook all there. The bath house was clean and accessible easily from our site. Check-in people and other staff very friendly. We had to leave early due to the rain forecast, otherwise would have stayed. Our only complaint is the number of dogs in the sites around us...although they did quit barking once night came.

Nice campground close to Asheville and good hiking spots. Sites are good size with large picnic tables. The only downside was the bathrooms...there are flush toilets, sinks, and showers, so the amenities are nice, but there was always a long line for the bathrooms because there were only two toilets/sinks for an entire campground loop.

Great location. Hard times loop rocks. Great mountain biking. Hiking trails everywhere. Great staff.
