Campground Opinion

I've stayed at Bear Creek only because Mama Gerties was full...Bear creek is kept well, but the larger pull thru's are kind of close to the road which has a unique curve...if you have dogs that like to run I'd be a bit uncomfortable at Bear Creek, Mr Mark gave you some nice places and Mama Gerties is definitely good..You will love Asheville and the Biltmore and the eclectic restaurants and shops..and for me, there's a pinball museum.:)

I cannot help you with that campground, but I use rvparkreviews all the time. Yes, there can be reviews that conflict but if you read the reviews, you will pretty much know if the campground will work for you. I submit reviews for every campground I go to with the hope that my experience will help others.

Stayed at Bear Creek in September....yes there are hills (you are in the mountains!), but the sites are level and the folks who operate the campground are very friendly and make you feel very welcome there.

It is very close to the Biltmore House and access to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Also close to downtown where there are some excellent restaurants.

When at Biltmore, I highly recommend the rooftop tour where you will learn quite a bit about the house and it's owners. Also take a drive over to the winery for a free tasting!

Stayed there last October, Its OK. The spots out by the main road aren't so great. The others are tight but seem nice. We moved over to ma ma gerties the last part of the trip. Awesome

I don't know when you are planning on going to Asheville nor if you have dogs. Four Paws Kingdom is where we stay every year. It is a short drive to Asheville, Chimney Rock, The Cove, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is big rig friendly and very easy to get too. It is clean and well kept. I don't think it reopens until March. I suggest checking the website.

X2. But keep in mind, RVParkReviews can be confusing. One guy says the park is great...the next guy says it's a garbage dump. (The "garbage dump" guy might be the owner of another nearby campground.....LOL)

Another source of park quality is Trailer-Life RV Park Guide...for around 10 bucks at Camping World.

Becker, we have been going to Asheville almost every year since 2009 staying in the motorhome some and also at the Biltmore Hotel. We have started making it a yearly adventure.

Our first RV trip in 2009, we stayed at the Rutledge Lake RV Park in Fletcher, which was nice at the time, not sure of the condition now. In 2014, we stayed at Campfire Lodgings which is excellent. Since Campfire Lodging was full this past year, in 2015 we stayed at the KOA in Candler which was also very nice and near the interstate. We may very well stay at the KOA this year when we go in August/September. I really liked the location.

I wish the Biltmore would build a nice RV park on their property. They have just added a new hotel near the winery which will be opening very soon.

The long steep drive to Campfire Lodging is a little tight but doable. Once on top of the ridge, it is absolutely beautiful. We were in our Dynasty at the time.

Good luck, the Biltmore is an amazing place.

Well....we've been to North Carolina one time and stayed one night. It just so happens we stayed at that park. It's on a hill and kind of a weird drive up into the campground, but no access issues. We were on the main loop which had sights on both sides of the road, climbing a hill. We stayed there in a 36' DP and had a nice sight.

We had intended to do our laundry while their, but it was a 2-3 hour wait to get a machine. Seemed like a common problem. We went into town and did laundry at a laundromat. Other than the laundry issue, it was a nice park.
