Whenever in the vicinity of Asheville this is our go to place ! About 10 minutes from amain road freeway access and you are in rhe wilderness. Great campsites, beautiful lake and the staff is great every visit.

We had a wonderful camping trip. All the sites are large and clean. The showers were very clean. My only suggestion would be to have better marked trails. But overall everything was excellent. We cant wait to return!

Site #51 is steep getting in and out of, so careful putting your rig in and out. Luckily we noticed the multiple DEEP ruts in the asphalt and took precaution. We had to build a bridge (so to speak) out of wood planks and stabilizer blocks under the wheels or we would have taken off the rear jacks and bumper. Others were not so lucky!!
Also there are electrical issues with this site. We did report to 2 staff at main gate that we recommend an electrician take a look at it. Hope they passed it on.
Otherwise, was a great trip! :-)

Very well kept sites that are nicely tucked into the woods. We really enjoyed this area and wish we had stayed longer. The staff upon arrival was extremely friendly and cheerful.

We very much enjoyed the campground. However, campsite 51 is a very steep site. though our camper is elevated pretty high, we still were unable to get into or out of the site without digging the jacks into the pavement. We were able to gradually raise the camper with pads on each side for a lenth of about 5 feet. WE were quicker getting out, but it was quite frustrating getting in. Just be prepared.
The BRs were great and clean. nice trails.
During COvid they are not selling firewood, so come prepared.
We'll be back.
