Detailed Reviews
Decied to take the rig out for a quick get-away weekend and Asheville is a nice quick trip for us. We have a Jayco Seneca, which is right at 40 ft., so it was a little tricky getting into the park. You can turn around at the RV shop just outside the park or can go down a little farther and turn around. Once inside the park, it was a breeze to get into our site and the current camp host, sorry forgot his name, came down and trimmed some small branches for us. Great little park, close to everything, easy Uber/Lyft if you do not have a vehicle. Only negative comment would be for a little more water pressure, but not sure if that's even in their control.

Very difficult to get in the first time you come in and owners not very helpful, acted like I was bothering them when I asked directions. Once in, every site has a concrete pad, which is very nice. Not very small with few sites all close together but everyone we met were very friendly. They have a lot of foot and bike traffic right through the middle of the campground but it was interesting to watch the people pass. We never felt uncomfortable or concerned about anyone we saw come through. A tubing company used part of the campground to launch from so again a lot of buses coming through. At night, you have a lot of noise from the interstate highway right next door so not peaceful to sit outside. Finally, went in the summer and the bathhouse has no AC and not even a vent fan so it smelled horrible and did not feel or look very clean. On the up side, it is a great location to access the river and downtown Asheville and the trial was super nice to run or bike on. Pick your poison?

Access to the men’s bathroom was difficult. Some of the number pads on the keypad are missing. Most people are able to figure out a way to work around the problem and gain entry but not always. More importantly, the door has the appearance of having been in this condition for some time. Repair or replacement should have happened and/or a note of apology with stated plans of imminent repair. (There are likely members of the general public who are walking along the public trail through the campground who toy with the door to get in. However, all paying campers should expect that a bathroom is accessible unless otherwise noted on the website.)
Otherwise, the location of this campground is good for visitors to the city of Asheville. As long as campers are prepared for road noise, it’s a pleasant place to be. Being able to camp at the edge of the river is a plus.

This RV park has a great location right on the river and the Asheville Greenway bike/walking path. The camphost, Mark, has done a great job of putting the reservation system online so that reservations, check in and check out are seamless. The camp is very well maintained and offers garbage pick up every morning. I would highly recommend this park.

We really enjoyed our stay! Pros: tubing onsite, walking/biking trails go right thru the site, riverview and clean bathhouse. Very convenient to everything. These are cons but would not let this deter you from staying. Only stating do you are prepared. No laundry facility on site, right off 240 so you will hear the traffic but not bad. They do not sell firewood on site. There is a laundry facility not even a 1/2 mile away at a gas station. You can buy wood at most local gas stations. Again we enjoyed it. The host family is super nice and very knowledgeable of the area should you stop by asking for suggestions in the area. ❤️ below was our view. Def a place you want to check out. Felt very safe too!! Surrounded by several water sport companies. All walking distance and one on site!

The RV park is first very noisy as next to the highway. Second, when we arrive the office was closed (during the day) and it says to go to Camp Spot 4 to get help. We went there as our RV reserved spot utility was used by another RV (in the next spot...). The person there (seems to be the manager) told us to use another spot next to it. We settled in and 2 hours later another camper arrived and needed our spot (as he had reserved it). So we had to unplug everything and settle again. We called when we arrived and no one answered the phone no returned our message. We also email to ask if there was wifi and no one ever answered our email. The RV camp is as good as a highway rest area, not in good condition, and very muddy. For $50/night it is one of the most expensive camps we stayed in 5 weeks RV trip and the worst of any camp we stayed. Do not expect to feel welcome as a guest. If you are in Asheville definitely stay somewhere else.

The website makes this campground look a great place to stop for 1 night. However , if we had to stay there longer than 1 night upon arrival, I would not have been a happy camper. The pictures you see online are deceiving. First, the directions say if you have a camper bigger than 25 feet to go to the end and turn around at Citgo there is absolutely no way a camper of any size can make the hair pin turn to get into the campground. Once we get to our site, we are next to what appears to be an abandonedii rundown permanent camper; the grass was long and unkept; we were on the side of the highway which is loud and unnerving when you hear semis hitting the guard rail. There is also a walk/bike path that runs literally right through the middle of the campground, so if you're looking to sit outside and relax or feel safe about leaving your stuff here, think again. Next, the hose valve leaked incessantly and the water pressure is terrible. Water was definitely not clear. The area in general is less than desirable, the citgo down the street had no gas. We traveled into a downtown area of Asheville that looked like a rundown hippie town where we also went to 2 different gas stations that had bags on all the pumps. (This isnt the campgrounds fault but just gives you an idea of whats around you) $45 a night is WAY too much for this campground. The reason why we chose this spot is because it was an easy off and on the highway to finish our trip to SC but if I had to do it again, I would travel a little further off the highway. I recommend cleaning the place up and lowering the night rate.

Had to have wifi for work. web site advertised wifi. When we got there and set up asked for the wifi info, we were told they have not had wifi for 8 months. Had to find another RV park during leaf changing season. On the good side it is on a county walking trail right thru the center of the park. No shortage of homeless people offering to clean window or do any other work you may be needing. Right parallel to I40 exit ramp no shortage of diesel engine brakes at night. Best of all we only lost $650. as we could not get any of our payment back. Wilson a once in a lifetime RV experience.

This campground was better than expected. It is close to the highway, so there is traffic noise but the campground itself is quiet, safe and clean. There is a bike path running through the campground that connects to the parks and the West Asheville restaurants and breweries. We parked our camper and biked to dining areas. It is a convenient location and the concrete pads are level and clean. I would definitely come back to this campground.

You can easily avoid the tricky u-turn by turning around in a parking lot roundabout at Carrier Park, which only adds about 3 minutes of driving. Stayed because closest RV park to downtown Nashville. Stayed on 11/30/20, campfire pits were at the sites, restroom facilities were closed, and flooding was not a problem. Pretty view of the river.
