Suggestions for nice RV campground in or near Asheville.

50 amp
Cable hook up not necessary but would be nice.

Where would you avoid?

Thx in advance Rod and Lyle
  • We stayed at Mama Gertie's with the trailer last year. Looking forward to taking the MH next time. Here are a few pics of our site at the top of the hill. Plenty of room for you up there.








    Even Charlie the dog had a good time;)
  • We stayed at Creekwood Farm RV park last week and were very impressed. The creek side sites are great but the others are very nice as well.

  • We stayed at Mama Gerties and it didn't work for us. The showers are down a steep hill. My husband's knees are shot and he couldn't walk in the park at all. Had to drive to the shower and walk up a hill after he parked the car. He wasn't impressed. It's beautiful and if you don't have knee or hip issues you will love it there. We usually stay at KOA East. Not the best KOA but suited our needs and nice place to walk.
  • We recently stayed a Mama Gertie's. It was really nice. It's about 5 miles east of Asheville. There's fuel and a grocery store close by. I highly recommend it.
  • Our favorite campground for Asheville is the Lake Powhatan Recreation Area Campground in the Pisgah National Forest. The Lakeside Loop (which is not really "lakeside") has full hookup sites, but no cable. The campground is only about 10 minutes from Asheville, and has large sites with plenty of separation. Our AT&T and Verizon phones and hotspots worked well enough there, although the cell signals were weak without our booster amp turned on. The site we like best is #38.

  • Have stayed at Campfire a couple of times. Very nice once you get up the driveway. The premium sites are well worth the money. Very clean and well maintained campground and the people are excellent.

    Have only driven through Mama Gerties and they have some wonderful sites.
  • Mama Gerties or Campfire Lodgings. Never stayed at either one but they both get great reviews on RvParkReviews.com. Both are on my bucket list, go to their websites and check them out.
