After spending two nights here, I love this place and will definitely stay here again if we come back to Asheville. There are some amazing things about this place and some very not amazing things as well.

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. My boys and I paddled down the river on our SUP for 5 or 6 miles to Silver Line park, where my wife picked us up. AWESOME. Carrier Park, an awesome public park with an amazing playground that was built inside the old Asheville Speedway, is 1/4 mile up the Greenway. Speaking of the Greenway, it is literally at the front of your driveway, so you can walk, run, bike, scoot etc for miles and come right back to your camper door. The concrete pads are brand new and level on the river side, so setup is a breeze. The owner/manager was very pleasant on the phone. Asheville is such a cool city and this campground is in it.

The bad- This campground is sandwiched between two interstates and there is significant road noise (we have three little boys and sleep with two sound machines on full blast and a fan on high and could still hear the big rig engine breaks when we went to sleep and woke up). The sites are very close together and offer almost no privacy. The bathhouse is nice, but not ventilated well, so it is a sauna when someone showers in there. The 30 amp receptacle at our site didn't work, so we used a 50 to 30 adapter (thankfully the 50 amp receptacle worked and I was glad to have purchased that adapter).

The good vastly outweighs the bad for me, but I am hoping this review helps folks see the whole picture. The higher numbered Riverfront sites looked best, more trees and shade. 16-20 probably ideal.
