Several RV parks cater to motorhome travelers in the Asheville-Marshall area of western North Carolina. Creekwood Farm RV Park in Waynesville provides full hookup sites with electric, water, and sewer connections approximately 30 miles west of Marshall. Wilson's Riverfront RV Park in Asheville features riverside sites with 50-amp electrical service and accommodates big rigs along the French Broad River. "We started our full time RV trip here in Asheville NC. Everyone was so friendly and helpful," noted one camper about their experience. Asheville's Bear Creek RV Park offers varying site lengths with some pull-through options, though reviewers mention sites are positioned quite close together, making setup more challenging for larger rigs.
The mountainous terrain around Marshall presents navigation challenges for larger motorhomes on some access roads. During peak fall foliage season from late September through October, reservations become essential as parks fill quickly. Most RV parks in the region maintain year-round operation, though amenities like pools typically close during winter months. Dump stations are available at Wilson's Riverfront, Creekwood Farm, and Rutledge Lake RV Resort in Fletcher. Highway noise affects some parks, particularly those situated along major routes - one reviewer noted Wilson's Riverfront is "separated from a major highway only by 40 feet or so." When planning arrival times, consider the narrow, winding mountain roads that may require careful maneuvering for larger vehicles, especially on steep grades approaching some campgrounds.
"The good- The proximity to downtown is the best you can get in a campground. If you choose a Riverfront site, you are literally 5 steps from the back of your RV from the French Broad River."
"Close to town to go check things out. Not a far drive to get to many great restaurants, breweries or cideries. Right on the river. Concrete sites, not extremely level, but good enough."
"Some sites are 30amp only and accommodate only 20-foot trailers or less. Other sites are longer, and some are pull-through. BATHHOUSE: 3 bathhouses are kept clean."
"Nice location close to west Asheville, pet friendly!"
"Great campground, fair amount of sites on creek, park like setting. Pull through sites for big rigs interior, full hookups include, cable, good wifi, good cell service."
"All are back in. 30,50 amp power, sewer and cable TV hookups. Reliable wi fi and good cell service. Spotless bath house with private shower,toilet sink."
"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."
"This campground was decent Fishing pond has a lot of ducks and seaweed
Laundry room was nice and large - easy and quick to get 3 loads done
Waterfront site was fairly level and loved being able to"
"At first look, it seems like another typical RV resort with space only for large RVs and travel trailers. It does have spaces for large rigs, but it also has wonderful tent areas."
"Relax in chairs by the fire pit next to the stream. Nice dog area. Laundry area is clean. Park is clean. Staff is friendly. Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay."
"Tucked away in the beautiful mountain side with gorgeous views! Staff is very friendly and courteous. While still relatively new with some construction, everything is clean and well maintained."

LOCATION
The location is incredible! We enjoyed the accessibility of hiking, biking and fishing right from the campground. ART LOEB trailhead is right outside the campground entrance and is excellent for hiking and mountain biking. Several loops and even sites provide access to the river for fishing. Just outside the campground are endless trails and several beautiful waterfalls that can be accessed within a 5-15 min car ride. Convenient to a few restaurants, grocery stores and even a Walmart (which is slightly dodgy so be warned).
SITE
014 WOAK site is an RV site. It’s spacious and very private. We loved how much room we had to spread out and entertain as we were traveling with several other camping families. Our site was the go to spot! Backing in wasn’t difficult. It was convenient that the pull through site across from us was vacant, this made backing in super easy. There are no hookups on this site. So be sure you have a generator! One bonus on the location of this site is the water access just feet away. We needed to fill up and had forgot to do so when we pulled in to the campground. What a relief to see a water access just steps from the campsite! The only downside was that generator hours are very limited. If you are traveling during warmer months or must have AC, this is not the site for you. We felt that the tree coverage really provided us protection from the heat and did very well without AC in early August.
ACTIVITIES
Slide Rock is a natural water slide that is fun for the whole family. Yes… it’s COLD and honestly worth every moment of chilly suffering.
Hiking is abundant and all levels are accessible within minutes to a few miles of the campsite. Our favorites are: Looking Glass Falls (steps going down make this a breeze), Moore Cove Falls is a MUST and an easy trail that leads to the perfect waterfall for a good photo, Looking Glass Rock is a moderate to difficult hike and worth it. Looking Glass Rock is a long hike so be prepared to go early and bring a rain jacket.
Fishing right within the campground makes it perfect for an early morning or late afternoon activity. The hatchery is nearby and offers some wonderful opportunities to catch and release. Be sure to look in to a guided tour for a hands on experience filled with lots of educational info on local fish.
Biking is a top activity for lots of overnight and day campers. The Art Loeb Trail provides endless miles that proves fun for the whole family.
Ice Cream at Dolly’s should make your list if you love a refreshing treat. This iconic little stop if right by the entrance to the Pisgah Forest and just around the corner from the campground. Also a great spot for a cell signal!
Breweries aren’t hard to find nearby. Small microbreweries are within a few minutes and Sierra Nevada Brewery is 25 minutes away.
DON’T FORGET
ScoutIndian Creek Campground in Cherokee, NC is a hidden gem. Nice hosts, clean facilities in the woods. We have a 25 ft pull behind camper and sites are big enough for slide-outs. Picknick table and campfire ring was on site. We had a 30 amp full hook-up site. Campground has tent sites, RV sites, cabins, clean bathhouse and is dog friendly.
LegendThis is not exactly the camping in the woods without hookups atmosphere. This is more of a every want/need met glamping RV Resort. And it’s awesome!
The RV sites are large and level, full hookup. There are gorgeous cabins that look more like tiny homes, and the atmosphere at this park is a great way to retreat. 100 ft max for RVs.
Very kid friendly, pet friendly (Kamp K9), lots in the area to go do and see. Pools, hot tub, kitchen, firewood for sale, fishing access, snack bar, cable tv, and WiFi.
The staff here is awesome, very helpful and knowledgeable. The park is very clean and well kept.
Cellular service for TMobile was not very strong but AT&T provided plenty for streaming and working.
ScoutThe Amenities - Bath House, restrooms and laundry are the finest I have ever encountered. Shower areas are large enough for families with young ones to be together with wet, dry, sink and commode area all in one room - some shower heads are adjustable for height and become hand held. Cleanliness was amazing. All campsites had concrete pad, fire pit or gorgeous fireplace, metal picnic table and they deliver a bucket of firewood for $5. Was surprised the only bug we encountered were flies - not one mosquito. Pet friendly - pick up stations and off leash area with activities for active breeds.

Camping opportunities dot the landscape surrounding Marshall, North Carolina, where the Blue Ridge Mountains and French Broad River create diverse camping terrain at elevations ranging from 1,400 to 5,000 feet. The area's mountain roads can be particularly challenging during winter months when occasional ice and snow affect access to several campgrounds. Sites in the region typically require advance reservations from spring through fall when weekend occupancy reaches near 100%.
Trout fishing access: Buck Creek at Mountain Stream RV Park offers catch-and-release fishing right from campsites. "My wife and son made it memorable. Brody caught his first trout, it is a catch and release creek," reports camper James U., who celebrated his 50th birthday at the park.
Blue Ridge Parkway drives: The parkway entrance is approximately 25 minutes from Marion area campgrounds, providing access to scenic overlooks and hiking trails. "Blue Ridge Parkway isn't far. We recommend the hike to Crabtree Falls!" notes Jess, who appreciated the proximity to mountain trails.
River activities: The French Broad River provides tubing and kayaking opportunities within walking distance of some campgrounds. "Wilson's spots don't offer a ton of shade, but being by the river is a huge plus. The French Broad River Greenway, a shared bike path, runs right through the campground and is great for taking you to nearby places by bike," explains Kelsey G.
Creek-side ambiance: The sound of flowing water enhances the camping experience at several parks. "The sound of the stream was so peaceful and relaxing. My husband did yoga every morning while I hung in my hammock and watched," shares Barbara S. about her experience at Mountain Stream RV Park.
Shared evening meals: Some campgrounds organize community dining events that create social connections. "[The owners] cook so other campers can get to know each other," notes Dawn V. about Mountain Stream RV Park, while another reviewer mentions Saturday evening barbecue served under a shelter at no additional cost.
Private bathroom facilities: Creekwood Farm RV Park offers individual bathroom units rather than communal facilities. "The bathrooms were amazing, individual bathrooms, very roomy and oh so clean," writes Joe B., who ranked the park among his top five campgrounds.
Dog-friendly amenities: Multiple parks provide dedicated pet areas with special features. "Red Gates RV Park has an off lead dog area with water available and poop bags," reports Brenda L., noting the convenience for pet owners.
Highway noise impact: Interstate proximity affects some campgrounds more than others. "Park is ok for overnight stay, if traveling, the best thing about the park was the riverside sites. Interstate traffic was loud, WiFi wasn't strong enough to connect to," explains Vickie S. about one riverside park.
Limited office hours: Some campgrounds restrict certain activities based on office schedules. "The only thing I would recommend is keeping office open later then 5. When office closes you can not take boats, or kayaks out. So when you spend day out site seeing and return office is closed," advises Donna H. about Rutledge Lake RV Resort.
Site spacing variations: RV parks in the region differ significantly in how closely units are positioned. "The sites are close together. You can hear noise from the interstate, but after a while, you get used to it. Be sure to specify your rig size upon making a reservation as all sites vary in length," advises Kelsey G.
Playground availability: For families with children, recreation facilities vary significantly between parks. "A small campground with an updated basic playground set for the kids. Nice lawn courtyard for games," writes Megan M. about Mountain Stream RV Park, highlighting features important for families.
Lake activities: Pride RV Resort offers multiple water features for different ages. "Family own campground, very clean, has two fishing pound, a creek, swimming pool, store and much more," shares Ioan P., noting the variety of water-based recreation options.
Bathroom proximity: Consider facility locations when choosing sites with children. "Also, there is no restroom even close to the playground area," notes one reviewer, highlighting a practical consideration for families with young children at certain campgrounds.
Site leveling challenges: Many RV sites near Marshall require additional equipment for proper leveling. "Very busy park outside of Asheville, NC. Great for getting in and out of town and enjoying the city but spaces were a little close together and the sites were all very unlevel," explains Kyle P. about Asheville's Bear Creek RV Park & Campground.
Entrance navigation: Some parks have challenging access points for larger vehicles. "When you come off the interstate you have to make a extremely hard right to get into park, not possible with a big rig...had to go up to the office/shop and turn around," warns Vickie S. about park entrance logistics.
Pull-through availability: Limited pull-through rv sites near Marshall, North Carolina affects setup time and convenience. "This is good campground if you are staying for the night passing through, or if you came to see Asheville and you will not be spending a lot of time at your camper. There is not a lot of space to hangout around your camper outside, in the pull through spots," advises Sarah about Bear Creek RV Park.
