My wife and I are locals and have stayed at the Lake Powhatan glamping sites four times now, across different seasons. Every visit has been consistently enjoyable, and its become our favorite local getaway. The glamping setup makes it incredibly easy to get into the woods with our two dogs the canvas tents are clean, spacious, and furnished with comfortable beds (with quality sheets!), chairs, a cooler, and just enough power to keep essentials like phones charged. Its the perfect blend of camping comfort and convenience.The campground itself is well maintained and thoughtfully run. The bathrooms are always spotless, and the onsite store is a lifesaver when you need ice, firewood, or those little things you forgot to pack. The overall vibe is relaxed and friendly, with guests who genuinely seem happy to be outdoors enjoying this beautiful part of Western North Carolina.We did have one stay when a large family group stayed loud past quiet hours, and the host didnt intervene that night. However, during our other three visits, the hosts were extremely responsive often at a site within minutes of a noise issue. That one instance may have been an anomaly, but I mention it because strict adherence to quiet hours matter to many campers. The campground absolutely feels safe and non-threatening in any way.Between the proximity to Asheville, the access to the Bent Creek trails, an actual recreational sized Lake, and the comfortable glamping setup, this is an easy, peaceful retreat that feels close to home yet worlds away. Glaming sites are not the cheapest option, but for the convenience, cleanliness, and comfort you get, its absolutely worth it. Well continue to return its become our go-to recharge spot in the woods. The tent and RV spots are nearby and all have the same feel and comfort level.

The glamping yurts are very well maintained. It was a pleasure staying at this facility. We enjoyed many local outdoors activities in close proximity to the campsite including several activities within the park including swimming at the beach on the reservoir, hiking, and nightly campfires. Will definitely return!

We were glamping in the yurt when post-tropical depression rain came through from Hurricane Nicole and we felt comfy and cozy through the downpours. It would be better if the yurts had the lower structural member cut back to even with the vertical post as it e tends out and is easily banged into with your head when walking around yurt.

We (two adults and our large dog) were very impressed with the glamping sites and the campground as a whole. The campground was beautiful and the sites were spaced out well enough to provide some privacy. The bathrooms were clean and showers were great. The glamping tent was a really nice way to upgrade the traditional camping experience. The bed was comfortable and charging station was a nice touch. We stayed in the middle of October and brought extra blankets because we worried we would be cold, but we didn't end up using them even when it got down to 30* overnight. It also rained all night and the tent stayed perfectly dry inside. Definitely recommend this campground and if you're looking to make it a little more luxurious, book the glamping site. You won't be disappointed!

A lot of hiking/biking opportunity here. Glamping tent set up was great. Beach could use some work.
