It’s a clean and neat park w lots of trees. A small playground and a nice dog playfield. Unfortunately it’s near the interstate. Try and get a site as far as you can from the freeway.

It’s a clean and neat park w lots of trees. A small playground and a nice dog playfield. Unfortunately it’s near the interstate. Try and get a site as far as you can from the freeway. Also, avoid site B-41. It leans to the south and our automatic levelers on our Winnebago didn’t like it. Plus, this site is super close to the freeway. Try and get a site as far as away from the highway, then just use the easy accessible dump site before you leave. Most of the other sites have 30+ amp w water.

Base camp for three days in Asheville. Friendly, helpful staff. Well kept grounds across two rv sections, leveling required and the driveways are tight on the upper section. They had a park-wide water issue during our stay and handled communications and expectations well. Clean showers and restrooms, and excellent laundry. Location is great for West Asheville and downtown destinations, easy highway access. There’s the rub: near constant interstate rumble, often distractingly loud. The back of the lower B section had the least noise. But we couldn’t sit outside for long at all due to the road noise. To be fair, the issue was the first thing noted by staff at check-in.

Very nice campground. Close to most activities in the area, averages a 20 minute drive. The staff was great. The only con is the interstate noise but its not like they can do anything about that. Recommend staying in F section if possible, close to store,pool, spaces are a little bigger.

This campground was in a great location and had great folks working there. The down side was the location near I-40. It was up on the hill and it was above the road. When trucks went across the bridge, it would shake the trailer. The setting was awesome, but the 24 hours of trucks was too much.

I'll start with the pros-
Staff was very friendly. Check in was a breeze. We liked the proximity to Asheville and the restaurant recommendations. Park was clean and well maintained and even though we didn't use the pool, it looked very nice. There seemed to be nature trails all through the park as well.
The Cons-
Location: there's a steep main entrance and its close to the hwy so there is a lot of road noise. The whole park is hilly. Driving through the park was tight and very uneven. Trees dropped massive amounts of sap on RV and toad. The site was flat but very unlevel. (Tire off ground when using jacks to level rig). The park internet was close to unusable. We're a 40ft rv and had a pull through site but we still had to unhook because the site wasn't long enough.

We had a pull through it was level definitely need more gravel, it is muddy.
Laundry was closed due to COVID-19, showers are only for the guest staying in the cabins because of COVID-19.
We were there for one night and we were glad.

This campground is a very mixed bag of some positives, but some big negatives. The Good: The location is fine for visiting Asheville. It has some amenities like a small pool, small playground, and decent sized dog park along with a couple of trails around the campsite. The check-in lady was friendly and provided a dog biscuit and dog waste bag for our dog. There is daily trash pickup at the campsite.
The Negatives: Mud, Mud, Mud. Our site had barely a pebble of gravel, no grass, no hardscape. We parked in mud and walked out our door to mud. Totally unacceptable for $50/night and we wouldn't have stayed the 3 nights if we weren't in town to visit elderly relatives. The site was also sloped left to right and very narrow. There were cabins directly in front of the site and the parked cars there made it a tight turn to exit the site forcing us against some tree branches to avoid the cars. It was tight enough that we didn't take the chance of hooking up our car the night before like we normally do.
Other sites varied in condition with some having a relatively decent amount of gravel on them and one or two sites having a wood or concrete "patio" area. The dump area was VERY narrow and overgrown. We would not have taken our RV through it.
Not sure why this is, but there were a ton of RVs and cabin campers with large and pretty aggressive dogs. Some were muzzled, others were not and just came out of the open RV door after our leashed dog.
Be prepared to smell the paper mill on occasion, but it isn't all the time. The F loop had mild freeway noise. The B loop was significantly noisier. Our rate reflects a 10% KOA discount and the hated kiddie/extra person fees that were $8/day for our daughter and granddaughter. A number of the staff are also pretty heavy smokers.
Exiting the CG to go east on I-40 requires either doing a tight u-turn from west of the CG or driving up the narrow windy Wiggins Road to get to I-40. There is not a direct left turn out of the campground to head east.
There is CG Wifi that we didn't use. Verizon signal was decent, but we didn't try streaming or uploading anything.
This campground has potential, but needs some serious work done, esp. for the price Putting mulch on sloped sites is not a solution to the mud as it just washed out.

Pros are good location and decent price. There's a guy named Todd with TNSRv solutions who lives onsite if you need any work done on your rig. He was fantastic to work with. Cable and strong 50 amp.
Cons are I would not call this park big rig friendly. Tight turns, low hanging branches, and generally tight throughout the park. It's also hard to get level here. Another issue they had is mud. It rained a bit not a ton but the place was pretty muddy all day. Also near a busy road so a lot of road noise
I had to share my water w/ the site next to me so I had low water pressure the entire time. This was not the case with every site.
Cell was decent speeds on Verizon. ATT had a solid signal but slower speeds.
