Lovely visit. Clean bathrooms nothing too crazy around the camp 9/24/2021

The campground is in a beautiful spot with a lake that you can camp right next to. There’s also a river that flows through the park which my dog thought was cool... 9/24/2021

Great 9/23/2021

Had a great stay! The staff was wonderful and the campground was great. I'll be back, for sure. 9/23/2021

The only reason I give it a 4 was because of how tight the sites are for bigger rigs in section A 9/22/2021

Fabulous campground. Friendly. Clean. A creek and a lake. Good wifi. Wonderful green, open spaces for walking. Multiple types of stay possibilities from cabins to tent sites to big rig connections. WONDERFUL. Close to Asheville. Easy to find. We want to come back!! 9/22/2021

We used the stay to visit the Biltmore estate. The campground was very clean with a lot of shade trees . The sites were abit small and parking was a little difficult. 9/22/2021

Loved the lake, all employees great! 9/22/2021

They went above and beyond. Walked to the store from the furthest site to get ice, and the had someone give me a ride back. All were very courteous too. 9/21/2021

Cabin 20. 1st night was fantastic! 2nd night it sounded like rocks were being thrown at our cabin ....all night long, but from the inside of the cabin. No acorns or debris falling from the tree aBove us, not sure what that was... 9/21/2021

We had a wonderful blessed time and enjoyed all the activities !! We plan to come back soon 9/21/2021

Just one night but we hope to come back. Great stay, very helpful staff! 9/21/2021

Love this KOA excited for next trip to see and enjoy all the new changes that are coming per the new Owners! 9/21/2021

Only were able to stay one night. Staff was over-the-top friendly and accomodating! Grounds were clean. The 4 rating is only because of the smaller site sizes. We really felt packed in. Our slide out was only a foot away from our neighbor's picnic table. 9/21/2021

Excellant place to stay and beautiful setting. Staff very friendly and a very.clean place. Loved it. 9/20/2021
