This park is very conveniently located in Asheville. It's about a 10 minute drive to the Biltmore Estate, which is a huge draw in this area and well worth visiting. It's also easy access in and out of the park. The wi-fi signal is generally very good and no extra fee for the use. Cell phone signal was reasonable as well. Despite this park being practically right in town, it's very quiet. We would recommend this park and would stay here again. (800) 833-0798 We camped here in a Motorhome.

What a find!!! This park is in a beautiful location. Lot's of friendly people and the staff go way out of your way to help! The best sites are back-ins. The pull thru's have no view. The roads were pretty narrow, but the sites were very level. We had no real problem getting in or setting up. We will definitely be back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Good location. Easy to find. Convenient to local sites. Clean park. Went swimming and then went down town to the fireworks. It is an older park, very well maintained. Check in was a bit tight but we were able to park with one trip back out and around to the entrance. Good interior roads. Good use on every available inch of space. Clean pool. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here years ago and decided to return while purchasing a home here. Owner and staff very friendly and helpful, very concerned with our comfort. Exceptionally clean sites and grounds. We found the sites to be roomy considering you are in the city. We had no problem driving in, checking in, or parking in our site. We were staying for one week and decided to stay one more. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a nice campground, but we are too close to our neighbor. All the sites are too tight that way, and the driveway is a bit tight, too. Now it is well cared for and clean. The power is strong, and you can get a big rig in here, too, though registering is a chore and on a hill and very tight. I would stay here again, but I would look to Mama Gerties first as it is more adult and much more quiet as the interstate is right behind you as well. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The rate is with a Good Sam discount. There are different rates for 30 and 50 amps. The drive into the campground is uphill and there is not much room to stop to check in. The roadway through the campground is rather narrow. The staff is friendly. Our site was a back-in and you did have to be a little careful because you backed up to a hillside. The pads are cement and a little broken up but it was not too difficult to level. The restrooms, laundry and pool are downhill so you do walk down a flight of steps to get to them. The laundry was $1.75 for both the washer and dryer. There were two of each in a very small room, but they worked fine. We purchased tickets for the Biltmore Estates from the campground. We were able to buy a two day ticket for the same price ($47.50) as a one day ticket at the Estate. There is a nice view from the sites. Wi-Fi worked very well. We would stay here again, but we might look for someplace else first. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is not a big rig friendly park. Exiting off the interstate onto a 2 lane winding road. After registering you have to leave the park, pulling out on a blind curve, go down the hill and turn against traffic into the pull-thrus sites . You are at the mercy of drivers, since the pull-thru sites are at the bottom of the hill on a curve. we would not stay there again, and could not recommend the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Only thing we found nice was the proximity to the Biltmore House. We were in a pull-thru facing a public road outside of the park itself. Very noisy because you are in between two interstates. We felt this park was grossly over priced. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice campground, convenient to Biltmore Estate and rest of Asheville. Adequate spaces, friendly staff. We camped in off season (March), only 1/4 full. No complaints except for the cost - $46/night for full hookup + two kids. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground with wifi. Handy to freeways but you must go certain directions in the campground to exit as it is on a hill which gives it something of a view. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We used this campground as a stopover from Tybee Island on the way home to break up the trip. It is a clean campground mostly built on a hillside with some spots on the lower level. It was easy to get into considering the layout and the views of the mountains were something. Staff was friendly and willing to help. The only negative thing to me was the cost. It is a little pricey but I would return for a short visit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park personnel were friendly. We stayed in the new lower section. The trees were too young to provide much shade. Interstate noise could be heard, but with our AC running or TV on, we couldn't hear anything. The older upper section seemed a bit tight. It is a great place to set up base for visiting the Asheville area attractions. In a few years when the trees have grown a bit, the lower sites will be very nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great Campground. Easy access to the interstate. Clean campground with friendly staff. I would highly recommend this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The road to the park was narrow and winding. The park is located on a hill, so the roads are up and down, with sites terraced. The trees in the park have been trimmed to the point of looking like a tornado went through. The site I was assigned to made it necessary to exit the park, drive the narrow winding road again and re-enter a different driveway. The site I backed my 38' coach into was NOT level at all. I was very unhappy with the site. The management let me move to another site which was more level. Riding a bike around this park was difficult and not fun. I would not ever stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a very noisy park. Interstates everywhere, which made it very noisy. Sites hard to get into if they were full. The road in and out wasn't easy to use with our 36ft motor home and towing vehicle. Wouldn't stay there again. Too much noise which starts in early in the morning around 5am and the roads aren't easy to maneuver especially after driving all day to get there. It is close to the Biltmore Estates which is why we stayed there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

An expensive night of camping, but we stayed in a pull-through site which may have cost more than the back-ins. The campground is extremely convenient to Asheville (Biltmore Estates, Blue Ridge Parkway), which is about the best reason to use it. We couldn't recommend it otherwise. It is right off of Interstate 40 (we could hear the traffic all night), but not conveniently once off the highway as the one-mile road to the campground is narrow with sharp curves. To get to our pull-through site we had to drive out of the campground and back onto the narrow road and reenter the campground further down the road because there is no room to maneuver inside the park. Pull-through sites are narrow and perpendicular to the park road, making parking on the sites quite difficult. The next time we come to Asheville, we will try someplace else. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Located next to multiple highways and interchanges, which meant there was so much road noise that ear plugs were needed to sleep. Bathrooms and laundry room were not clean. Wireless Internet extremely slow. When I mentioned concerns to management, I received a defensive voice mail from owner. Would not recommend this RV park. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

After reading literature which had rated this campground very high and it being mentioned in Motorhome magazine, we were looking forward to checking out this campground. We were ultimately very disappointed by the time our departure date rolled around. The first pull-through site that they tried to place us in simply did not have enough clearance to pull my truck and 5th wheel into, the trees did not allow enough room to get through. They agreed to allow us to move to a pull-through with enough room for us to get in. Then the next morning, an employee of the park came knocking on our door telling us that we would have to move because she had another guest who had asked for the site we were on. When we arrived, lady in the office the night before told us to go to the site we were on. I told her that if I was forced to move, then I would just go ahead and check-out. She left and then returned saying that we could stay on the site we were on. Some of our family was staying in the apartment at the campground, when they went to bed - their bed fell on the floor, we were not able to find anyone from the campground to fix the problem. They had to go to a local hotel and spend the night. The sites were so close that our slideouts were only inches from touching our neighbors. The pull through section of the campground connects to the highway which runs in front of the campground making it dangerous for our children and the blind curve of that highway made it dangerous pulling out of our site. Campfires are not allowed and highway noise made our experience far from the relaxing retreat we had hoped for. Restrooms were not clean and the grounds were not well maintained. I would not recommend this campground and I am very shocked that it had received high ratings from industry publications. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Despite my confirming our reservation prior to traveling, the folks here couldn't find it when we arrived. The sites are very tight, especially if you have slide outs. There are few pull through spots. The site they eventually assigned us backed us in until we literally overlooked the interstate and was not large enough for our 3-slide 41.5' motorhome and the car we tow. The traffic noise was nonstop and very loud. They could use some good antennas for their wireless internet, as their signal wasn't strong enough to connect to. This campground is an adequate "staging area" if you plan on sight-seeing in the Asheville area. It is not a pretty or relaxing spot. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent campground, close to highway. Has cable so inability to get satellite was not an issue. Look forward to visiting this campground again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at this campground twice. The first time was a pleasant surprise. The second time by design. This campground is located near I40 but we did not hear the traffic. The hosts were extremely helpful with suggestions of local points of interest to visit and detailed directions. We plan to make this particular campground a regular stop when we travel through the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground not too far from Biltmore Estate. Easy access to Interstate. Clean restrooms and very nice pool area. We purchased our Biltmore Estate tickets there which saved us time when we made our visit. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park was just okay. My wife and I intended to stay only 1 night since we were on our way to Myrtle Beach for a vacation. As we were pulling in my brake light came on, after checking in and settling down in a camp site I decided to find out why the light came on. After discovering that it appeared to be a leaking brake cylinder on one of the rear duals. I went to the office to see if they knew someone that could help us. The owners wife suggested a local guy who she said had done work in the CG before. After driving our toad to his shop and explaining the situation to him he said he would be by in a couple of hours to fix the problem, He never showed up. The next morning I called him and he said he would be out in a few hours so we waited all day and he never showed up or even called. At 7PM I went to the office to see if they could give me another name, well the office was closed. Knowing that the owners lived in a house at the CG I walked to there house. This time I spoke to the husband (owner) he said he didn't know what I could do...who I could call...and further more he said he would never had recommended the guy that was supposed to come out who was recommended by his wife. And at that he turned around and went into his house to continue watching TV. Being left on my own I found a phone book and called a Ford dealer who also has a RV repair shop, he put me in touch with a towing company. The next morning we got towed in...new rotors, brakes, and brake cylinders were installed and that evening we were on the rode again. We spent and paid for 3 nights at this campground when all we intended to do was spend 1 night. DO NOT I SAY DO NOT EVER STAY AT THIS CAMPGROUND. The owner (husband) has about as much compassion as a dead fish. Talk about Southern hospitality. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The owners weren't exactly rude, but they weren't exactly cordial, either. Beyond that, the owner blamed us for tripping a circuit breaker because we had the audacity to use the electric heat strips in our little 17-foot Casita travel trailer, which was hooked up to what was supposed to be 30-amp service. Yes, we had the TV and microwave on at the same time, but we don't believe we were getting 30 amps of service, despite having paid over $30 a night for the site. We have never had a problem using our appliances at any other campground. Perhaps they should use some of that money to upgrade their electrical system. Even before that incident, we had decided we wouldn't be returning to this campground, chiefly due to the rather indifferent additudes of the owners. Thankfully, there are plenty of campgrounds to choose from in the Asheville area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Made a reservation 4 weeks ahead of time and within two days called to cancel due to change in plans for a different campground in area. Cancellation was made a month ahead of arrival and they charged my card a 5.00 fee!? Not a good business practice...BEWARE! I'll never go for this one again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Our stay at Bear Creek was very nice. The management was very welcoming and friendly. We stayed for one week and will stay here whenever we come to Asheville. The sites are all paved and the grounds are clean. It is also located close to everything. Nice mountain views. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The owner was kind enough to come find us when we were lost trying to locate the campground. This would have gotten them a 10 Plus, but with only two shower rooms available and they were COLD and my shower head had a split in the pipe before the shower head,thus 80% of the water went against the wall. Thus a generous 8. The Host was somewhat less than helpful, not rude just nothing. Harry the owner is a great person. And they have been able to get spaces where no space is available. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A bit overpriced ($34 nightly rate paid was Good Sam discount price). It is sandwiched in the V between two interstates and there is a fair amount of road noise. Sites are pretty close together. There is no weekly rate, although monthly rates can be negotiated. The park is very convenient for visiting sights in Asheville, NC. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We've stayed at this campground 3 times mainly because it offers wifi. 2 of the times we were there it wasn't working at all and the last time it didn't have enough signal strength. We informed the office of this, but no one took an interest. I felt the grounds were nice, the location is good, but they've added new campsites to the lower part of the campground that had no landscaping. They have two laundry rooms, one was flooded, the other one was dirty. They charge $1.75 per machine which includes the dryer. Some were complaining the dryers weren't working properly. I believe we paid at least $34.00 a night, they offer no discount if you are there more than 7 nights. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Not many pullthru sites and the sites were very close. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Sites very narrow and close together. Good for an overnight stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very clean park. Nice level concrete pads. Easy on and off access from major highways. Plenty of room to back in my 30 foot fifth wheel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Sites are pretty tight together and the pull thrus are along a busy road. Road noise was not really bad, but then we had the coach closed up. Staff was pretty friendly and the campground was very well taken care of. Rate was a little steep even with the Good Sam discount. I'd recommend this campground to any one staying in the Asheville area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We arrived after dark and had difficulty finding a site, or at least how to get to the site. We chose a site listed on a piece of paper hanging outside the office as to which was available. After hooking up, leveling, putting out slides, etc. I turned on the faucet and we had no water. The sites on each side of us had water so apparently it wasn't frozen. We called the owners/managers but no one responded to our call. Our plans were to stay several days in this park, but due to the lack of assistance when needed, we left the next morning and do not plan to go back to this one. Even our neighbor who had been there a few days wasn't happy with the park but didn't know the area or where else he could go. I wouldn't recommend this park to anyone. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is absolutely the BEST Campground/Resort at which I have ever stayed. Although some sites are rather small, there are sites that will accomodate the largest legal size R/Vs. Very little on-site activity facilities, but many facilities are available nearby. The restrooms and showers are absolutely spotless. Maintenance is mostly done by the ownwer and the supreme cleanliness shows great pride by the owners. Simply the best! We visited in June of 2004 and the owners were working on expansion of additional sites. Cabin sites are available for those that do not have a R/V. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was one of the cleanest parks we have stayed in. The owners live on the premises and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable during your stay. The office staff are all friendly and helpful. We will definately be going back to this park. Also the park is in a great location. Close to the city and other attractions We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sent in deposit months in advance to receive a pull through with 50 amps. Was told this was no problem. Got a 30 amp backin. Staff was somewhat rude on occasion. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We've stayed here often in our motorhome. Most convenient location to all Asheville attractions, just off major interstate intersections, but noise not a problem. Well maintained park, roads all paved. Nice level, hard surface pads with good, well maintained hookups. Individual spaces are average size but adequate for toad and tow vehicles parking. Many big rigs always present. Some sites well shaded, others partial to no shade. Staff has always been friendly and accomodating, including owners. Bath facilites fair to good, nothing exceptional. One modem connection in office, access limited to office hours and demand from others. Accept cash or checks only. We camped here in a camper.

Excellent overnight stop. Easy in and out. Located right at exit 147 on I40 - real close to Biltmore Mansion. Well maintained - average sized sites. Pull-throughs are right at the side of a fairly busy local road. We camped here in a camper.

We have not stayed here in years but did try to give this campground another chance in 2001 and again the owners are so rude and unfriendly, we decided we were not giving this place any of our money! The campground itself is ok. Some sites are pull thrus but most are backins. The backins can accommodate large rigs but the sites are narrow (20/25ft wide) so you are on top of other campers. They do have concrete pads with grass surrounding the site. The reason I rated don't know for family campground is as rude and hateful as this couple is I would think they would be hateful to children and pets. Thank goodness Asheville has gotten some good campgrounds in the past few years. If the couple that owns this one will retire, it will definitely be worth staying at. We camped here in a camper.

This is our second visit to Campfire Lodgings, both times for a month, and we loved it just as much each time. The manager is one of the most caring and accommodating people we've met in our three years of full-timing from coast to coast. She bends over backwards to help solve any problems that come up while camping there. One of the many things I've seen her do is help a woman who had a sick dog with arrangements for her to get the dog to a veterinarian. A campground can be beautiful, which this place is but, in my opinion, it's the people who run it that push it over the top. I continue to recommend this RV park to everybody who asks about Asheville. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Earlier ratings gave this campground a number of 10s.Things have changed. Once, it was run by a partnership of Stormy and Andy.Stormy has gone and Andy has the friendliness of a cobra with PMS and the attitude of a skunk on steroids. We braved the road up to the campground (and it was scary) but, when we got to the top, we found one of the most beautiful campgrounds with the most beautiful views we have ever seen, especially from Sites P1-P5. Our delight, however, was soon diminished by a haugty woman (Andy) who informed us we were two hours ahead of check in time and, even though the park was empty, she would allow us to park on our reserved site,but not turn on the water or electricity, or make the sewer connection for two hours "because you are not paying for it." We had reservations for a week, and the whole week ws ruined by this woman. In addition, we saw two other couples that also arrived early (nobody told us check in was at 3 p. m.) and, since check out was noon, we assumed, like the other couples,l we could get there shortly after noon. These other couples were also chewed out and were very, very angry.To add insult to injury, the manger gave us a "welcome bag" with a stale candy bar and outdated coupons to purchase paper prouducts at a store. A great campground ruined by lousy management. Stay somewhere else. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This place is tops. It is on the top on a mountain and top rating. Staff are friendly and helpful and funny. We can't wait to stop here again. Don't forget to unhook your tow car at the bottom of the hill. It is quite a pull that last 50 feet. We camped here in a Motorhome.

WOW! Believe the previous reviews - this place is wonderful. Very hospitable hosts, a breathtaking view, clean and quiet sites. We camped overnight on site #1 (sites 1-5 are premium sites) and wish this had been a destination instead of a stop-over. Pricey at $54, but found it to be worth it. Follow the website's driving directions in - easy access from the interstate. The driveway is gravel with a fair slope, but wouldn't find it a problem unless ice is a concern. Very child and pet-friendly. Wish we had more time to walk the trails and explore. Even though it is over 7 hours away from home, we are already planning a return trip for next year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here at Premium site #3 for 5 nights and this place is WONDERFUL!!! The view from the premium sites is incredible and gorgeous beyond words. The park is small, quiet and very clean and Andy is the best camp hostess anyone could ever ask for. She's the best. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Quiet adult oriented park with fantastic views. Very nice manager. Convenient to Asheville. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a concrete pad site with a wonderful view of the Smoky Mountains and the French Broad River. Definitely would stay again!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

All I can say about this place is WOW! Nice grounds and the sites are very well kept and landscaped. Hosts are so friendly and helpful. They make you feel like old returning friends even if it is your first visit. In response to some of the previous reviews commenting on the steepness of the road to the campground, the road was no where near as steep as some of the interstate hills. We had no problem whatsoever pulling up their drive. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Premium site views are breathtaking. If you are going to stay here, please try to get one these paved sites. Lovely peaceful place with a very friendly and helpful manager. Just be aware there is a twisty hilly road to get to the campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautiful view. Very clean. Very well kept. Owners take pride in facility. Very Friendly. Nice hiking trails. Close to Asheville. Can't wait to go back! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

By far our favorite park in the entire United States. Stormy and Ande make wonderful hosts. They are very accommodating - one of our cats got sick and they helped us find a vet, and extended our stay without problem. Views are to die for. The entire campground is spotlessly clean. Nice hiking trails. The road up can be a little dicey, like someone said before, beware of that last turn or you could end up in someone's front yard! Still, well worth the extra money for the location. Will be back as often as we can, maybe twice a year. Can't wait to return!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

If you are able to stay in one of their premium sites (#1-#5)then this park is very good. Those sites have level concrete pads, have beautiful views and have a good Wi-Fi connection. Unfortunately, we were not able to get into one of those sites and, as a result, this park is very average. The other sites are gravel, not level and the Wi-Fi does not work. Additionally, as mentioned by others, the access road is narrow and a real challenge and I would not recommend doing it with a toad attached. Another issue that we found was that the park was not really dog-friendly. There are several walking paths but they are pretty rugged and are overgrown with weeds and, since the park is on top of a mountain, there are not a lot of places for pets to do their business. On a positive note the owner was very friendly and helpful and the restrooms are quite clean. If we could stay in one of the premium sites we would definitely stay here again but, otherwise, we would pass. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great little campground on top of the mountain in Asheville. The managers (Stormy and Ande) are awesome folks who do a fantastic job of maintaining the campground and ensuring your stay is a good as can be. There are 4 or 5 premium sites that have a million dollar view across the mountains and valley below. These sites also have nice, level concrete pads. The other non-premium sites are gravel, semi-level, in the trees with no, or very minimal view, but still very nice sites. All RV sites have full hookups and cable. Wi-Fi works if you're close to the office, but it did not work at our site that was towards the end of the campground in the trees. It's a very quiet, peaceful campground. Great trails to walk yourself, and your dog! They are planning to expand the campground and add more sites, including more premium view sites, in the next year or so. The only negative, and the only reason I didn't rate it a 10, is the road leading up to the campground. It's about a half mile and it's a dirt and gravel road that is steep at some points, and it's very narrow with a couple of really tight turns. It would be really dicey if two large rigs had to pass each other. Actually, I don't think they could at most points along the road. They do try to manage this by asking folks to call from the bottom of the hill if they arrive before check in time, so they can coordinate with anyone leaving at the same time. We made it up the road with our 40' motorhome with toad attached (luckily, no one coming down at the same time), but we were within inches of trees and rocks. When we left, we waited to hook up the toad until we were safely at the bottom of the road. But, it was well worth the few minutes of stress going up/down the hill to stay at this campground! HIGHLY recommend it! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a must stay park if you are in Asheville. You can't beat the views and the beautiful surroundings. All sites are back ins with easy access. If you call, ask for a view site, you will be pleased. The road up to the top of the hill where the park is located takes a careful approach but I pulled a 40 ft fifth wheel up...just take it easy. We toured 15 states and 20 parks in our summer adventure, this park is our favorite! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed in this campground for the entire month of May. The views are spectacular. Lots of hiking trails in the immediate area. We will definitely return as it is one of the best places we have stayed this past year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I am new to this deal but this is the most exhilarating experience I have had so far... The premium spaces are unbelievable for view. It is hard to find and a climb to get to but WOW! I will return soon... We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a small campground but you cannot beat it. It is hands down one of the nicest places I have ever camped. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the bathhouse is just wonderful. You get your own little place with a shower, toilet and dressing area with a locking door - just heaven. And it is only 10 minutes from downtown Asheville, but you would never know it - it is so quiet and peaceful. And everyone seems to love dogs - I would stay here every time I am in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Stayed in a popup. A steep, narrow, twisting gravel entrance road. Sites average spacing. Expensive ($38) for what you get (no pool, gameroom, etc.) Five sites across from the office have spectacular views of the mountains, but the others are not worth the price. They claim to have WiFi, but it doesn't reach the outer sites. Since the sites are strung out along a road, the outer sites are a LONG way from the bathrooms. The bathrooms are actually individual bathrooms, just like at home. Each has a sink, toilet, and shower. Unfortunately, there are only FOUR of these rooms for the whole campground! Thus, FOUR individuals showering, or fixing their hair tie up all the toilets. Overall: nice, but not worth the price. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We loved this park. We were headed to a family reunion in South Carolina from Indiana. We found this campsite on the Internet, called and got reservations, had no problems checking in. They have 5 "primo" spots, that feature a great view. We were able to get one of those, it is a great quiet park. The staff was very friendly, nice showers and bathroom facilities. Very easy trial to hike, walk. During our hike we saw a bear, that was a highlight to our stay there. We only stayed one night but would stay agian if we were in the area. We had no problem getting up the hill with a full-size four wheel drive truck and 26 foot travel trailer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Access to campground is via a steep dirt road. But don't shy away from this one, the views across the French Broad River to the Blue Ridge Mountains is spectacular (I'll bet Vanderbilt wishes he had this view at Biltmore Estate). Campground has lots of wildlife. It is clean and very quiet. The only reason I rated this campground a 9 instead of a 10 was because of the access road (some signs would help to assure the driver that they are on the right path). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park had an "Oh my gosh!" view that should probably make most any other problem seem insignificant. The staff was very friendly, but a bit absent from duty at times. When we called for a reservation there was no answer so we left voice mail. A lady returned our call the next day and apologized for taking so long to get back to us because she had been out of town. This wasn't really a problem since we were calling several weeks in advance. The road up to the park was narrow and gravel, but we had no problem even with a 37 ft. motor home and a tow car—just watch out for that last sharp left turn or you will end up in someones house. There was no one in the office when we arrived, but our site was posted outside, and we had no trouble locating it and setting up. We had a premium site (they have the best views) which was cement, level, and plenty long with a patio and a grassy area. As stated in another review there is a steep drop-off by these sites, but there was still plenty of room for us (sites 2 & 3 seemed to have the most room). There is also an area in the center of the park for large gatherings. We never saw anyone in the office that whole day, so we paid the next. (Hey, if they weren't in a hurry to get their money, it didn't bother us.) Their TV cable was good, and the WiFi was strong at our site, but you do need to get the code from the office. The individual bathrooms were clean, but were showing a little bit of wear. The laundry was small but nice. And did we mention the view?!--beautiful mountains with the river visible below. Yes, there was fog in the morning, but it only added to the charm. We definitely recommend this park, and hope we get to stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There were four campers in our group that stayed at Campfire Lodgings on May 5,6,7. It was the first time there for all of us and we had read some good reviews. We had made reservations for 3 premium sites together and one directly across from the others two months in advance. When we got there, the friendly but totally incapable person working the office counter advised there was only one premium space available but we could pick from other available spaces deeper in the park in the trees. The others may not be together. She said they rented the premium spots to someone else. So much for having reservations. We found out that Premium spot #1 was occupied by one of the park workers. Spots 16,17, and 18 were also park workers. For a park with only 19 spaces to begin with, 4 of the better spaces were blocked by employees. We chose premium spot 4. I guess the view would be wonderful when it wasn't foggy but that was about 90% of the time. The premium spots also have very little yard and although we tried to have a group meal and get-together around the campfire ring, the ring is on a slope and about 5 feet from dropping off the cliff. Only a couple of chairs could be placed around the campfire due to safety. For having WiFI, we were in Premium site #4 and could only occasionally get the wifi signal strong enough to use. If it won't send a signal even 100 feet, what use is it? We used our own shower and toilet but some of the others used the shower facilities in the park. Although clean, they complained of no hot water on more than one occasion. Management was a hit and miss to catch in the office. If they were in the park at their camper, they were off duty and didn't want to be bothered. The trash cans at each site were full when we got there on Friday. It was Monday AM before they were picked up. In the meantime, on Saturday night, a black bear got into several of the cans and knocked them over. Contents were strung about. One of the campers in our group watched from her Motorhome. The people in the sites ended up cleaning up after the bear the next day as management didn't do anything even when told. One of the members of our group had an item stolen from their campsite. Management didn't seem to care when told. The turn around at the back of the park is very difficult for someone pulling a 30' travel trailer because of the tight circle. We did fine in our 34' 5th wheel though. There is also a large hole that was full of mud and water from the rains in the turn around. It has obviously been that way for some time but not repaired. It is deep enough to cause clearance problems for some trailers or possibly get stuck in. Since it is in the designated turn around and there is not much of a way to avoid it, this problem should have been repaired a long time ago. Apparently if a problem doesn't inconvenience the management, it isn't a problem. None of us will ever use this campground again, nor will we refer it to anyone. $45 for the premium and $38 for the muddy sites is way too much for this park. If the owners (who live out of state) wish to keep this park alive, they better get some competent management help onboard to address the problems. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Arrived here during midweek for a 3 night stay while visiting the area. Stayed at site 2, a premium site with excellent views. Folks managing the place were very friendly and we found the bathrooms/showers to be very clean. Would have given a 10 rating if I could have connected to the wireless network. The manager couldn't help me with this but I do know that others staying here had no problems connecting. Campground is somewhat secluded but you can be in downtown Asheville in about 10 minutes. I would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

My understanding is the old manager has changed jobs and they have a person filling in until a new manager can be hired. If the lady filling in hires a new manager like her this campground want stay open much longer. The campground is clean, nice sites , & great views but I won't pay this much money to feel like I'm bothering her. The office is locked most of the time, if anyone is even there. I will not stay here again unless the management changes. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We're fulltimers and this is our favorite park. We've been here 4 times this year. We have a 40" MH with a tow vehicle and we have no problem getting up the road to the park. Views are awesome, winter and summer. Staff is wonderful and very accomodating. P-2 is our favorite site but P-1 through 5 are all great for the views. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Highly recommend this campround; it was very secenic and pleasant. Located on top of a mountain ridge, what a view. We were able to get one of their premium sites with a wonderful view of the valley between the campground and the mountain range looking to the Smoky Mountains. I would say the campground is better suited to couples than families. Not too much for the kids to do. Well keep up and and very clean. Has a very steep entry road to the campground. We like it so much, wife booked for next year too. This was our first visit. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
