Campground suggestions near Asheville, NC.

We loved Mama Gertie's. We prefer grassy sites on second level.

Another vote for Mama Gertie's...... The view from up top was breath taking! The upper sites were very level, I believe the others weren't too bad either. :B

Lake Powhatan was great. What can be wrong with a COE park?

Stayed at Tap's in 2016. Nothing fancy and a few long term residents. I think quite a few veterans stay there for appointments at the near by VA hospital. It's convenient to most of the Ashville area.

One more vote for Lake Powhatan! It's our favorite Asheville area campground. We particularly like the 20 full hookup sites in the mis-named Lakeside Loop (Hint: It's not on the side of the lake).

Lake Powhatan Recreation Area & Campground

Another vote for Lake Powhatan. Be sure to visit the NC Arboretum which is next door (free but charge for parking).

I agree that Bear Creek is very nice. We were in a Wolf Pup camper (now sold) and thought that the camp was very nice. It was very clean and the bathrooms were spotless.

x3 good location - would stay there again - checked out other locations and for us they were too far out of town

I agree that Bear Creek is very nice. We were in a Wolf Pup camper (now sold) and thought that the camp was very nice. It was very clean and the bathrooms were spotless.

If you can live without hookups ( but bathrooms with hot showers) check out the Davidson River Recreation Area. About 35 miles from Asheville.

We stay at a campground about an hour west of Asheville, close to the Smoky Mountain National Park. The good part... a full hookup is $35 a night.
