I really love this space. It's close to civilization, but you mostly feel a sense of seclusion, especially during the week. Yes, weekends are busy but it's so beautiful and peaceful here how can you find fault? I'll l always remember here as the place my little boy caught his first trout on fly. Showers and bathrooms are clean and tidy.

@WilliamJ242827 · Camped on Aug 2, 2024 at Campsite #6

It was a nice stay, however I wish that there was also a shower house over were site 6 was.

@ThomasC6214588 · Camped on Jul 31, 2024 at Campsite #21

Clean park, facilities, easy drive to great hiking spots. Hosts are always out and working to keep things pristine.

@GregoryW589355 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #22

it was quite, clean bathrooms.

@BrandiC922A8D6 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #22

This is a beautiful campground. The camp hosts were amazing and we loved our site and the closeness to the River. Our only issue was our hand washing station was stolen during the first night and the second night we had something weird happen with our fire which had everyone on edge.

@WilliamH158481 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #21

Clean spaces. Very nice hosts. The bathrooms and showers were always clean. Peaceful place to go. We stayed a week and enjoyed fishing, hiking and walking our dogs. We try to go every year. Thank you

@RileyH23BD7653 · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #26

This is a great campground! Unfortunately I was only able to stay one night. Bathrooms and showers were very clean and easily accessible. The campground host was very kind and helpful. Definitely recommend staying here!

@RUSSELLG120994 · Camped on Jun 19, 2024 at Campsite #4

Beautiful space, nice campsites, including a nice fairly new set of bathrooms with showers. Campsite host was very friendly and helpful too.

@MartinK4638996 · Camped on Jun 10, 2024 at Campsite #17

The campground host is excellent. The party in the adjacent group site however were terrible. They blasted "club" music much of the non quiet time hours over a public address system. I don't believe there is anything the campground manager could have done because technically they were not breaking any rules. But I suspect most campers don't go camping to listen to other peoples music loudly for three days. The Forest Service should take a hard look at permitted behavior as it pertains to music and "PA" systems. The should not be allowed. Further, music heard beyond one's own campsite should be looked at as well. It's noise pollution.

quiet, great site, close to hiking trails.

@MartinH4750228 · Camped on May 28, 2024 at Campsite #15

This is a beautiful place and we always enjoy staying there. I would suggest they keep all the bathrooms and showers open so that people do not have to wait to get into a bathroom.

@MichaelF110976 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #15

Site 15 had a normal sized tent pad, but huge area around picnic table/fire ring. Sites were fairly close together, but enough privacy. Site was on the far side of the bathhouse and bathrooms, but they were very clean.

@CathyW5299700 · Camped on May 21, 2024 at Campsite #26

My husband and I reserve a spot 2 weeks each year...spring and fall. We love this wonderful campground in the Pisgah National Forest for its beauty, quiet, peaceful environment! The restrooms and showers are always clean, every site is well maintained and the hosts are fantastic.

@MorrisM9EA0121 · Camped on May 14, 2024 at Campsite #14

Good. We enjoyed.

@EricJ548E28A2B · Camped on May 13, 2024 at Campsite #21

Good other than no functioning bathroom

@BryanM7662998 · Camped on Mar 29, 2024 at Campsite #26

Very nice campground. Host was friendly and kept things orderly. Convenient location to Asheville and surrounding recreational areas.

@ShirleyD822234 · Camped on Mar 23, 2024 at Campsite #13

I enjoyed the site. Very quiet. Do need to update your maps.

@MikeW4539708 · Camped on Nov 19, 2023 at Campsite #20

The place is beautiful and very clean, the sites are spacious, and the host during our visit was super friendly and helpful.

@JanetB8225386 · Camped on Nov 19, 2023 at Campsite #8

Very nice camp post. Site eight was a little small for my camper van and he let me move to Site 13. Huge site. Very nicely laid out park.

@ScottM5484435 · Camped on Nov 17, 2023 at Campsite #16

Well managed clean and easy to access sites.

@Frederick95AE7 · Camped on Nov 3, 2023 at Campsite #26

Such a great location for venturing into the Pisgah Forest and the in-town activities too!

@SheliaWE9EA94F · Camped on Oct 22, 2023 at Campsite #18

My husband and I were there Oct 22-Oct 28,2023 on site 18 for our annual fall camping trip in the NC mountains. The beauty and tranquility of the campground were more than we expected. The bathrooms and showers were clean and heated (much to our surprise).It quickly became one of our favorite campgrounds in that area and we cant wait to take our grandkids there in the summer.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
