Had a wonderful weekend stay at site 73. The good: the battery pack was at 80% when we got there. running fans, lights, charging phones and battery packs...was still at 48% after 2 days. Bed was very comfy. One top sheet and thin comforter and an extra blanket if needed, perfect for July. Rained heavily one day, but we stayed dry. Campfire ring was located away from entrance to tent, but pay really close attention to the site you pick for that. Some rings were right at the front porch and I imagine would be smokey in the tent. The area was very quiet and peaceful. The staff was super friendly. The bad: The restroom is in dire need of update. Only one sink. No electrical outlets at all. The shower was good but very hot and not adjustable! Firewood is expensive! $10 for a small bundle. Watch out for spiders. Of course this is not a sealed tent (gaps in the platform floor). There could be creepy crawlies! The cot was not comfortable. No linens for it. No wifi available and one bar of cell service at our site intermittently.

Second year coming to glamping tents and those are really nice IMO as long as you bring extra covers for warmth. Bathrooms need to be uodated to regular shower heads and should be without having to keep pushing for a hot shower. Showers barely worked and mens room had a heat lamp but women's bathroom had a closed switch as in removed so female bathroom near site 73 did not work. It was 38 so that would have been a great glamping experience. It was also the second time we had to listen to shooting and dogs barking late into the night. This time we asked about all the commotion to find out hunters with tons of hound dogs and yelling like banshees were inside the camp hunting raccoon guns going off where campers camp. Very dangerous. I understand one time but both times? Hunting is allowed in certain areas so that just isnt something we likes to listen to. Personally I feel for the price bathrooms could have been in better condition and more private. I did find a bathroom in a different area that was more private with a heat lamp next morning. But the shower head drizzled. The staff seemed very friendly though. Unsure if I will ever come back there to be honest. They had warm to warm hot water. Other than that it is in a forest and fall was nice. My advice is to have better control of hunters coming in willy nilly illegally (and sounded drunk as all) to keep campers safe. Stray bullets dogs and middle of the night didnt give me the best feeling.

Campsites were nice, facilities were clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Only downside was a yellow jacket infestation, at or near, my campsite. They didn't bother me but would be a concern should small children be present. The staff was made aware of the situation.

Loved the glamping. It was exactly as pictured. Clean, extremely comfortable, and peaceful.

First experience Glamping was enjoyable at Lake Powhatan. Great location adjacent to the Arboretum. The tent was comfortable as advertised, and site 73 was convenient to the bathhouse. Only wish we had known ahead of time that particular site also had electric which could have supported a small heater as opposed to the limited battery power indicated on the website. We had no issues with bears personally, but did hear them at another site in the same loop so be prepared for that.

The campsite was clean and supplied as advertised. The check-in was simple and quick and the staff was helpful.

Love the location. Easy access to The Arbordum, and to Arts District of Asheville. The accommodations are are convenient and well maintained and everyone on site is very helpful. This is my second stay here, and would definitely recommend this camp ground

We had so much fun "glamping". The beds were comfortable and clean. It was quiet and relaxing. Will definitely be back

Although we have been camping near the Asheville/Brevard area for over thirty years, this was the first time camping at Lake Powhatan. The campground and bathhouses were exceptionally clean and the campground hosts were extremely nice. If you are a hiker or biker, this campground is for you due to the amount of trails right outside the campground.
We’ll definitely be back.

Great experience, even with the rain! Nice site and the bathhouse isn’t too bad.
