My family and I stayed here long term during one of our travel contracts. This park is very friendly and welcoming. There were family events on the weekend that we enjoyed doing. They had a coffee truck during peak season and even brought a food truck in with yummy Cajun cuisine during our time there. We stayed during the fall/winter and had a bit of a rainy season. Our campsite got a bit muddy and the staff remedied the situation by bringing in more gravel to decrease the mud. We used the walking trails often and it was nice to enjoy the nature around the park. This is a campground that we will miss and will return to in the future.

This is a beautiful campground with tons of space for bike riding or walking. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and they have fun events for kids on the weekends. The laundry room has 8 washers ($2/load) and 4 dryers ($.25/8min) and is open 24/7.
We stayed in Section A which was **extremely** tight for navigating, parking, and camping, especially with our 43' big rig. 3 people had to move their cars to allow us to back our 5th wheel into our space. We could barely open our awnings without touching the RV in the space next to us. The back of our 5th wheel was less than 3 feet from the camper behind us. On the last 2 nights, we moved to B15 which had plenty of space with an awesome patio setup.
Trains come through near the park at all hours of the day and night, using their horn religiously; Not a huge deal but you may get woken up in the night or early morning.

There are shaded and open sky sites here. All are pretty snug with a few exceptions. But we never felt crowded as the surrounding mountains and nearby river make it feel more open. A large gaggle of geese make their home here but don't make a mess.
Easy access off US 70 - pay attention as GPS thinks it's just a little farther than it is! Check-in space is limited but process is quick. Guide to your space. Decent interior roads.
We had 30 amp FHUs and were able to get satellite from our roof. Their park WiFi connected but didn't do much. Our ATT worked fine for internet. Level dirt and grass space with nice shade tree. Picnic table and fire ring with attached flip grill. Lots for the kids to do with available bikes and peddle-quads that all looked like fun. Nice pool and social pavillion with several planned activities. Dark and quiet at night. We will be back for a longer stay.

We stayed in a partial hookup site on the lake, and liked the view and watching the baby geese. The beautiful Swannanoa River runs right through the campground in addition to two lakes. These sites are way too small and close together though. Fire ring was right behind the camper and not safe to use. Our toad had to be parked sideways in front of the RV in order to get it on the site. Neighbors were up talking under our bedroom windows until after 2 am. After seeing them, I don't know why anybody would want to stay in the more expensive sites that had no view and were packed like sardines. The lake sites are the only option as far as I'm concerned.
As mentioned in other comments, the dump station was terribly designed and any larger RV would have great difficulty turning around before or after using it.
On the good side, the Blue Ridge Parkway is just a few miles down the road, cell service is excellent, WIFI is good, and there are cable hookups as well.

Get a lake front spot and you won’t be disappointed! This was our second time staying here and it won’t be our last. In fact, this is one of my top 5 favorite parks (and I’ve stayed in hundreds). Beautiful views, fishing and feeding the birds from your campsite, ample room for the kids to play, and plenty of amenities.

There is a nice walking path all around the campground.
Location is 10 minutes from Black Mountain, which right now due to Covid doesn't have much going on. It is about 20 minutes to Asheville.
Includes cable, wifi and full hook-up.

Not what we expected. Playground to close to entrance in my mind. Absolutely no privacy where we were, very cramped. Bath house need update. Grass needed cut. It’s a new time for campgrounds- years of neglect are showing in this new age of camping.
