  Foothills Family Campground

  Nice owners - mostly long term campers

  We stayed here one night on our way through the area.  The owners were very nice and helped us get situated in our site.  The roads in the campground are dirt, rutted, and steep.  I am glad we unhooked our Jeep before navigating our RV to the site.  The RV rocked and rolled quite a bit :-) The site was level, clean with full hook-ups.  The price was very reasonable.  Most campers were seasonal or long-term campers.

  Blue Ridge Falls RV Resort

  Quiet and beautiful

  We loved this RV park so much, we kept adding nights. The owners are great - super helpful. Under new ownership and the name is now Blue Ridge Falls RV Resort. Plenty of space between sites so it felt private, and all campers were respectful. Every day, at 5pm, the happy hour bell rings and it’s a great chance to meet people and learn tips on the area. Showers were clean and laundry was easy. There was never a line for any of it. This is our favorite site on our trip across the country so far! Thank you!

  Blue Ridge Falls RV Resort

  New owners!

  New owners and they are changing the name to Blue Ridge Falls RV Resort. Beautiful park, lots of mature landscaping and large private, level sites. Gatherings by the pavilion every night at 5. Great community feel. Lots to do in the area. State park is only a few minutes drive away as well as Panthertown for hiking and biking. The area is known for having over 250 waterfalls. Highly recommend a visit.

  Yates RV Resort

  Fantastic!

  We are so happy for this up and coming RV resort! Their current focus is providing a campground to the traveling nurses that are coming through the area but they do have some flexibility for travelers. Kim was fantastic at helping us with arriving early due to hurricane Ian and Mike was on site with a rain coat when we did finally show up! That’s just amazing compassion that you might not get elsewhere larger. Great Wi-Fi, level sites, and easy access to everything you could need.

  Asheville East KOA

  Awesome water front rv site

  We started our season out with this trip and had a blast. This was one of the best rv parks we have stayed at. We had a park that backed up to the big lake and had neighbors at both neighboring sites, we still had plenty of room. The people running the park were super friendly and took great pride in the park. We had firewood delivered to our site twice and they were very happy to do so. Big playground for our little girl and she had a blast. We will be returning soon.

  Mile Creek County Park

  County Camping @ It’s Best!

  This is our second year to camp here and the new management shows! Campsites are cleaner, new rustic tent sites are being developed and gone are the old grandfathered in long term RVs taking up primo sites season long!

  Rutledge Lake RV Resort

  Quiet campground

  I stayed at Rutledge Lake RV Resort July 7-9, 2023. The site was pretty level and the staff was friendly. The sites are packed in fairly close together but my neighbors were all extremely quiet. My Starlink had great line of sight and I had no issues streaming video. My Verizon cell phone also got great reception.

  Jake from the Dyrt here! The Gatlin Ridge RV Park is the perfect basecamp for those looking to explore the area and return home to their RV with full hookups. Check them out and make sure to leave a review on the Dyrt!

  Mount Pisgah Campground

  Great location, a little run down

  Great location to all the hikes we planned on doing, looked like there were long term campers there that were nosy. Campsites are nice and spread out, however. Definitely recommend going during a busier season with a group of people. Went in beginning of October.

  Spacious Skies Peach Haven

  Nice campground, lots of amenities.

  Overall, this is a very nice, clean park conveniently located to the interstate I-85) and attractions in the area. It has all the amenities you would expect to find at a KOA such as a swimming pool, playground, dog park, miniature golf, store, clubhouse, and more (including goats). It is by far the nicest private campground in the area that we have stayed at.

  This KOA has 127 sites offering varying degrees of services to accommodate RV's, tents, and those wanting to rent cabins. We chose a 50-amp full hook-up back-in site but were upgraded to a pull-thru so we could be in a sunny location to mitigate the chilly air. How nice of them! Our site (#79) was perfectly level as were most others (but not all). Water, electric, and cable hook-ups were well placed at the site and worked fine. We paid $37/night(with the KOA member discount). Nice, large grassy area for dogs to walk and sniff and there is a decent size dog park.  Roads and pads are hard packed gravel with grass in between sites. Some sites are set in a wooded area while some are out in the open with plenty of sun and satellite coverage. The park is big rig friendly and the roads are easily navigable. All sites have a picnic table and some had fire pits but ours did not. Cable is included and offered over 50 channels. Wifi worked well at our site.  The laundry was small with three washers and three dryers but very clean and had a decent book exchange. The bathroom and showers were super clean and looked like they were updated recently. 

  The campground is extremely clean and the owners/employees are super friendly. There is a short hiking trail (less than a mile) through the woods and plenty of green space in front of some of the pull-thrus. playground large swimming pool with large deck putt putt with lots of goat humor. 

  The only downside would be the closeness of sites but that is pretty much what you expect from private RV parks. Fortunately, we did not have neighbors right next to us which gave us more space. I'm usually not a KOA fan but have to say this one was great for our overnight stay and we would recommend it.

  No spots

  I tried to find a spot about 6 pm on a Monday… all were filled up, looked liked quite a few long term. Beautiful location and pretty close to stores.

  Bent River Equestrian

  Beautiful field camping

  Had a great time at this campground with two pups, both well-behaved and able to enjoy off-leash time with lots of space to run around. This is a horse farm so respecting their space was our first priority, and occasionally required leashing our dogs but didn’t hinder us at all. While there is a RV hookup/platform/table it wasn’t available at this time so more field camping which was perfect for us! Host was super kind and helpful, able to answer questions. Clean port-a-potty and outdoor cold shower we’re perfect!

  Riverbreeze Campground

  NOT a resort! Poorly maintained!

  Poorly maintained , old leaves and limbs everywhere. The long term campers are filthy, trashy and encroaching on the grass areas of other sites. Too many vehicles per site, loud vehicles and unsafe driving speeds.  No presence of management.

  Gorges State Park Campground

  Pristine, quiet, and waterfalls

  Great experience at end of May, 2023. The park has had primitive camping for years, but this year is the first season with an area for RVs/trailers and a separate area tent campers. All sites are level with concrete pads, except for the tent site. Fire pit is on bricks. Bathhouse is immaculate. The park has a great visitors center, lots of trails for hiking and seeing waterfalls, campground is pristine, and non-tent sites have full hookups. The park covers 7,000+ acres and hosts the start of the trail into Pisgah National Forest to the famous Rainbow Falls. We have a 17' Casita and stayed in a site with full hookups. Activities in the surrounding area include lots of waterfalls, hiking, mountain biking, golf, shopping and dining in the Highlands, and some great restaurants.

  Town Mountain Travel Park

  ideal getaway

  We stayed here for two nights in our Casita.  It was ideal for us…we were close to Hendersonville and Brevard so we got to explore both towns. Nice scenic drives to get to both also.   Manager Mike is the heart of this campground.  He is kind, friendly and very helpful.  He met us as were pulling in and then walked us to our site and helped guide us backing in.  He had treats in his pocket for our little dog every time we saw him.The bath house is one of the cleanest we have ever seen.  There was also complimentary firewood at our site. Just a short distance from a big grocery store and also a shopping center with places to eat.  It was quiet and Mike is right there ready to help anytime.

  Full hook ups, gravel sites for RVs with concrete pads for picnic tables.  We were able to park on the gravel and step right out on the concrete.

  We would definitely come back if in the area again.

  Rose Creek Family Campground

  Sites very close together. Bath House pretty nice though.

  The sites are very close together. The tent sites have a sand base to the site and sand gets everywhere! We were across from the bath house and the bath house was nice and clean but kinda small. Friendly atmosphere and it appears that most people are long term campers.

  Fireside RV Park

  Clean, quiet and quaint

  Stayed here for 5 days visiting family in the area and it was nice. There is no office or showers or anything like that. Spots are fairly close but the people all seemed friendly.

  There seemed to be quite a few long term campers but the place was clean.

  The grass is very nice instead of dirt or gravel pad next to you.

  No picnic tables and the WiFi was just useable. I had 2-3 bars of AT&T LTE Wireless signal.

  It’s a quiet park

  This is a full hook up, mostly full time residents type of park. The sites are a bit close together but the price is right. Location is great. Close to grocery, shopping, gas, propane and historic downtown Hendersonville.

  Travelers Rest-North Greenville KOA

  This KOA is small but if Peaceful and Offers Much

  This does not seem to be the typical KOA, and it is small compared to my recent visits to some other KOAs. However, it was very quiet with lots of shade, but tents are not allowed. There are cabins, and the remaining sites have RV hookups. There are several things I loved about this campground. There is a small creek running beside the campground, and I believe most of the sites run along the creek. It is a very clean campground with a family like atmosphere. I met the front desk clerk, Julie, who was very helpful, and I also met one of the owners, who was very friendly. What is really unique about this KOA is that there is a nature trail through the woods. That is something I don’t recall seeing at any other KOA, and it was a pleasant surprise. I wish my grandson had been with us. He would have loved the fire truck playground and the Johnson Creek Mining Company water tower and trough. The recreation area had a ping pong table, a swimming pool, and cornhole boards, among other things. The showers/bathrooms were attached to the main office, and I really liked how the showers had a flexible hose. For safety and privacy, it was the type that can be locked so you don’t have to worry about strangers being in the bath facility with you. Overall, I recommend this campground highly. The only negative I have is that there are no tent sites.

  Asheville East KOA

  Great location. Ok facilities.

  The location was great. Close to everything we wanted to do. We toured the Biltmore, slide down the sliding rock, and made some other stops in Pisgah National Forest. There is full hook ups so most people use the bathroom in their trailer. We used our toilet but chose to use the provided showers. They were older but clean. The ducks that wandered around were a bother. They pooped all over our carpet and other things. Other than that it was an average campground.

  Cunningham RV Park

  Would not stay again

  This campground is very close to I-26 and I-81 which makes for an easy in and out for an overnight stay. We stopped for one night after a long day of driving and wanted a full hook-up pull-thru which was long enough for our 45’ RV and tow car. The roads inside the park were easy to navigate and pull into our site and nearby are fuel stations and fast food restaurants. 

  Most of the campers in the park were permanent residents and their campsites were pretty junky. Just to create an image in your head, our neighbors had lots of kid’s toys, trash bags, appliances, and laundry scattered about their site while others had old cars, dilapidated sheds, car tires, and tarps stretched across their campers. Other than a swimming pool and decent playground, there really aren’t too many amenities or reasons that you might want to stay here, other than for an overnight. The bathroom and showers were clean and there is a nice laundry. Roads in the campground and at sites are gravel with grass/gravel patios and picnic table. Not all sites have fire pits. Our site (#102) did not have a fire pit but there was an indentation under the leaves where it looked like there was a fire pit and there were a bunch of rocks piled up against a tree that could be used to create one without anyone objecting. All sites are full hook-up, some being 30-amp and others 50. Most sites are pull-thrus and level. Our over-the-antenna picked up about 40 television channels, including all the major stations. Our Verizon phone picked up a 5G signal. 

  There were signs everywhere about not letting your dog off-leash so I’m assuming there was a problem in the past. While we were there, we never encountered any unruly dogs or any off-leash. There are lots of large trees for shade which are not a problem for pulling into or out of a site but may be a problem if you are trying to get satellite television. The sewer outlet at our site was placed in the back of our site and I needed a hose about 35’ long to reach it.  Some of the back-in sites are pretty close but it appeared they were for seasonal/permanent campers.

  The electrical hookup was a little sketchy. It appears they updated an old electrical box with a new 50-amp outlet and taped the other one shut so you could not open it. There was no breaker on the new outlet you could access. Despite the way it looked, we never had a problem with the electric.  Our sewer was a different issue.  The sewer drain needed to be cleaned out because when I opened the grey valve it did not drain properly and began to overflow.  I had to shut the valve, wait for the water to go down, and reduce the flow which took about fifteen minutes to drian 25 gallons of grey water. 

  At $45 for a full hook-up site, we would not stay here again.

  Croft State Park Campground

  Good Campground except for the Yellow Jackets

  Croft State Park is a really nice campground for RV and travel trailer camping. For tent camping, it is just okay. I say that because of the gravel surfaces at the campsites. Fortunately, I took a cot to sleep on, for even with a foam pad and an air mattress, I think sleeping would be uncomfortable. The site I stayed on did have water and electricity, which was fortunate since it is very hot there in August. My mistake was not taking a large enough fan. 

  The bath house was conveniently located, and it was air conditioned. There were hot showers, and when I say hot, I mean hot. If you take a shower in their bath house, I suggest that you do not turn the water all the way to hot to begin with. Otherwise, you will burn yourself. Although there was a soap dispenser in the bath house, you will need to take your own soap. The dispenser was empty. 

  There is a beautiful lake at the campground, which allows several opportunities for fishing. There is a fishing dock and several types of watercraft rentals. There is also miles and miles of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. I was amazed at the number of trails. 

  Another section of the park is devoted to equestrian camping, and there is even a show arena. For those who want to primitive camp, there is a place for that as well. I would have given the campground four stars, but because of the gravel sites and the yellow jackets, I could only give it three. The yellow jackets were out of control. 

  I would suggest some pest control measures. I realize that most campers are in RVs and travel trailers, but tent campers also need a more appropriate place to camp than on large gravel surfaces.

  Springwood RV Park

  Planes, trains, automobiles and RVs

  Precious! I’ve never stayed in an RV park next to a small airport with a train track running through the middle of the park! Our pull through site was located under an old oak tree, conveniently next to the laundromat.

  Fell asleep to the soothing sounds of a locomotive horn punctuated by the plinks of acorns bouncing off the roof. Awakened at 5:30 AM by sirens tuned to major thirds followed a little later by the thumping sounds of helicopter blades. What a symphony of delightful sounds! Thankfully, I wear hearing aids I can remove at night. Unfortunately, my wife was not so lucky.

  The park did have full hookups, wifi, and while it did not have cable it had excellent reception from a number of local stations. I give it to two stars - one star for infrastructure and a second star for novelty. Zero stars for ambiance.
