After driving all day and part of the night my partner and I set up our tent and prepared to get some rest. It was nice to hear the river as we went to sleep but the TRAINS across the river woke us up numerous times. Don't expect to sleep well here unless you are deaf. The campground was very... more

A friend and I took our 13-year-old sons for a four-day camping trip to the French Broad River Campground. The boys LOVED fishing in the river, and had great success. The campground was a bit rustic, but our pop-up camper was right on the water and the river is beautiful. Sure, we could have found more modern bathrooms in a... more

We camped for a week. Sat and Sun the campground was full..the rest of the week empty..yes, the sites are small but the sound of the water over the rocks, the mornings of cool air, feedings the ducks more than made up for the size of the sites....there isn't much to do there so I wouldn't recommend it for children... more

I'll admit it, I like to save money. I can be a little cheap. I will sacrifice a little comfort to save $. But French Broad River Campground was WAY too much sacrifice for the money saved. My husband and I stayed in one of the cabins there in Oct. '06. We were in town for a wedding, and didn't... more

This place looks nothing like it does on their web site. My husband and I actually did not stay here once we checked in, due to some of the unsavory characters that were camping at some of the other sites. (It looked like people were actually living there, instead of camping.) Plus, I wasn't really keen on using a dirty... more

The ad online makes this place out to be tranquil and beautiful. When in reality it’s a dump. The view out to the river is nice yes, but the view looking in, more like looking into a dumpy trailer park. The toilets are Rent A Jon’s and the bathhouse was a run down building that needed far more then cleaning.... more

First let me say the people who run this campground, a husband/wife team, are very decent and helpful. We arrived quite late, after getting a late start and struggling to find the place on dark, winding, roads with less than accurate directions (not the campgrounds fault), not to mention the accidental detour through the prison compound close by. We did... more

Our cabin was disgusting because it was so filthy ! Everything in it was rigged, wires looked exposed and unsafe, the fireplace and ac units didn't work,there was one lamp in the entire cabin, not that you can plug anything else in since there were no outlets. There was no gameroom, didn't see tennis courts and the office opens whenever... more

We saw this place on the web and thought it looked great but be warned that the website for this place is a JOKE! I wish I would have read the reviews here before we decided to stay at the French Broad Campground. The first thing we noticed as we drove into the campground was that there were people living... more

Very Deceiving ad on the internet. Sites are right up against each other, the ONE bathroom is not enough for the people they jam into here and there are 'unsavory' looking characters who apparently live here in run-down looking cabins and trailers. Loud traffic and train across river. Shower is disgusting. It would be very easy to make this place... more
