Looking for anyone that has stayed in this campground. Have searched many campgrounds in this area and none seem to rate five star. Will be using as a base for day trips, so not a destination campground. Just want clean,safe, well managed campground. Would prefer not to be able to reach out and touch next camper but realize it's a private park.

Never been there but interested for the same purpose... Gets mixed reviews due to traffic and trains. RV Parks Reviews

We always stay at Lake Powhatan Campground. It's a National Forest Campground 15 miles from downtown Asheville. Has one loop that is full hook ups, 50amp.We will be there again in Aug for two weeks. Nice wide paved sites very wooded. If you have a Federal senior pass you get the discount.Lake Powhatan

We have stayed there several times and it is an OK campground. We camped across the river in a 5th wheel, and on road side in a Class C, at the time the road across the river would not support a motorhome. It is a very good campground to travel around Asheville and see the sights, but at the time nothing paved in side of campground.

We stayed there in sites 40 and 42. (see map on KOA site) We have a 33' Class A and toad and the other coach is a 36' class A with toad. Back in sites, gravel, trees. We were facing the creek but not creekside. The creekside back in sites are fairly short. As other post says, Class A's don't go over bridge across creek. Not the best KOA we've ever stayed in but suited our needs. We have stayed at other campgrounds in the area and this is the best we have found. Spaces aren't very wide but was adequate. Had room to put out chairs and not feel crowded. The spot next to us (site 44) was 30 amp and vacant so we didn't feel crowded. Nice place to walk across creek into the small camping and tent camping area. Some traffic noise but didn't bother us. Some train noise but again didn't bother us. Clean and safe. Enjoyed our stay. Would go there again.
