Great setting on the French Broad River. Nice sized, paved RV sites. Full hookups. Very helpful attendant. Paved trail in both directions. Close proximity to the Biltmore Estate. No internet or cable hookup, antennae service did about 24 channels. No trash dumpster (that we could find). Still a great place to stay!

3 night-stay for us (me, my wife, 3 and 5 year old boys), and we would absolutely stay again. A little pricey at almost $50 per night, but it's RIGHT in Asheville, with flat and easily accessible spaces. I only wish we had been able to stay in another spot. All spaces but the first two would have been right right on the water! READ THE EMAIL THEY SEND ABOUT HOW TO ENTER THE SITE IN AN RV. GPS will ask you to do an impossible turnaround, so you have to drive past and U-turn elsewhere.

Key to real estate…..location, location, location. I bet 30 years ago before all the major highways were in place this was a very peaceful calm and serene location. But as I type this I am hearing the overwhelmingly loud and obnoxious sound of a Jacobson break on the numerous semi tractor trailers and dump trucks that blaze by here at ?? miles an hour. It’s enough to give you a headache for sure. Sleeping at night unfortunately is difficult due to the incessant Jacobson breaks employed by the trucks at night time, seemingly all hours of the night. The section of North Carolina should embrace

Lots of concrete and traffic noise as others have said. Nice ‘city’ view of the river.
There’s no way our 40’ DP could make the 170 degree turn into the park, nor the 160 degree turn to leave the park. Both take decoupling the road and making a 27 point U-turn in a very crowded park.
Note that the park does not offer cable for the tv, nor do they have WIFI. According to the host, “No park has WIFI!”
Mr and Mrs Wilson were great, as was their son who loaned me a tool without reservation.
One hostess ‘Buzzy’ was terrific, but her partner was not.
Would I stay there again? No

Wonderful stay here! The host was incredibly kind and the only time someone sketchy tried to take up residence at the campground, the problem was taken care of immediately. I felt safe and enjoyed the ability to walk into town on the river trail. Clean bathrooms and a nice hot shower!
It is near the Highway, so highway sounds are to be expected. Trucks do engine brake as they enter the area, so that’s not ideal for a quiet setting but it didn’t disturb our sleep in any way.
Having stayed here and the other RV park in town, I’d pick this one every time for the convenience of walking to things

I don't understand the negative reviews. This park is in a great location as it relates to proximity. The bike path that runs through it is great for RV'ers with bikes. The host is super friendly and helpful. The official checkin building is rarely open but since checkin is handled online we had no issues there. The river was quite high at our visit. It looked like a lot of rain created plenty of mud for the riverside but it was cleared from the pads, although the tent area was still wet (welcome to camping)! The bathrooms were clean on our visit... it is a small older building but I

This is a beautiful little campsite tucked in next to the French Broad River. It is right off the freeway and very convenient, but the traffic sounds were muffled and not distracting. There are great biking and walking trails along the river. Beautiful! It is also a short Lyft ride from downtown Ashville which is NOT an RV friendly town. It cost us about $11 each way to get downtown and back. The camp hosts were awesome! Thanks, Ladies.

Area is in the perfect location if you want to be close to downtown. It’s right next to the highway so you will hear traffic, but if that doesn’t bother you, everything else is great. Full hookups, right next to the river, and there is a jogging path through the park as well. I don’t believe WiFi was available, but service is good otherwise and there is a bath house.

The location of this camp ground is perfect! It’s definitely not a secluded area, so if you are looking for privacy or something quiet it’s probably not the best choice. However, it is right on the river so it still has a perfect camping environment and is 5-10 minutes away from the coolest places in Asheville! We really enjoyed our stay and will hopefully visit again soon. Also the bathhouse is a huge plus.

The website makes this campground look a great place to stop for 1 night. However, if we had to stay there longer than 1 night upon arrival, I would not have been a happy camper. The pictures you see online are deceiving. First, the directions say if you have a camper bigger than 25 feet to go to the end and turn around at Citgo there is absolutely no way a camper of any size can make the hair pin turn to get into the campground. Once we get to our site, we are next to what appears to be an abandoned rundown permanent camper; the grass was long and unkept; we were on the side of the highway which

WARNING! Super hard to get into this park. Special directions get sent to you through email to go to the public park down the street to turn around. No office so hit or miss if your spot will be there when you arrive. Just park on the spot in your email. Yikes!! The county park walkers and bikers frequent the middle of the street. Several FULL TIMERS so limited spaces. Avoid if at all possible !!!

We stayed at Wilson's for a family event in Asheville. We have a 30ft Class A Motorhome. The site has a public trail running through the center, between the two rows of sites-pads. The trail runs between Hominy Creek and the French Broad River, and connects other parks with River access. Lots of people use the trail, and it is handy for walking the dog. There is also river access in the park with a tent area and bath house. Lots of RV'ers in and out of the sites, and there is noise from highways on both sides of the park. It is a place for active people with a purpose.

CRIME ALERT!!
There is no security here and a public hiker/biker trail passes right through the center of the "park". Anyone can enter at any time-no office, no security, no human help at all (reservations done completely automated). LOCK EVERYTHING UP! Someone stole our nice lounge chair that I dared leave outside overnight. The camp host said "Sorry, we have problems with thefts. I'll tell the owner." Go only if you don't mind locking everything inside when you go to bed or depart the camp site to visit Asheville.

We arrived to a unkempt campground. Our reserved spot was already full. The camp host offered to force the camper out of our spot (who was saying that she had emailed an extension) I believed her story as we tried to call the campground a number of times during our drive to confirm our booking but no one ever answered the phone or returned our call.
We fortunately found accommodations nearby which were very much nicer, so our story has a happy ending for us.
Don't trust these folks.

The RV park is first very noisy as next to the highway. Second, when we arrive the office was closed (during the day) and it says to go to Camp Spot 4 to get help. We went there as our RV reserved spot utility was used by another RV (in the next spot...). The person there (seems to be the manager) told us to use another spot next to it. We settled in and 2 hours later another camper arrived and needed our spot (as he had reserved it). So we had to unplug everything and settle again. We called when we arrived and no one answered the phone no returned our message. We also email to ask if there was

There are issues with this place especially if you are a tent camper or have a trailer with no bathroom. Bathroom was not clean and was not heated. The river had flooded a few days before and our site had a half an inch of mud on the pad. We spent an hour cleaning it off. It wasn't a great way to start our vacation. I should add every pad was clear expect for ours. We were offered a discounted rate but ended up leaving a night early because of the frigid temps. I couldn't reach anyone the day we arrived. The highway is busy and you can hear the j brakes from tractor trailers throughout

The bathhouse was so dirty and gross and it is the loudest campground I have ever stayed at in my life. It is a few hundred yards from a major freeway so if you want to sleep at all, don't stay here. The Sounds of the semis downshifting and cars speeding by is so very loud. Not peaceful at all. It is convenient to Asheville though. You definitely get what you pay for in this case. It was awful.

Getting is hard. You definitely have to get turned around using some side streets, be careful if you are a big rig. Then there is a running/ biking path right in the middle. So you will have people running behind and in front of you as you back in your spots. The staff is not helpful, thankfully the some of the camper were. Only giving 3 stars cause the river was pretty.

This is just your average Rv park. We made reservations online and never saw anyone that worked or maintained the property the whole time we were there. The grass was a bit high around our pad. It took me quite a while to find the tank hookup because it was covered in the grass. We didn't have the hookup until the next day because we couldn't find the connection.

We were on our way to Asheville on one of our less planned trips. When booking online, they had 2 out of the 3 nights available so I emailed Wilson's when were en route to let me know if there was a cancellation. The manager called right back, said he was able to do a little rearranging and kindly got us in! The park is tucked away beside the river (we had a spot to hang our hammock) and the interstate (which are always noisy, but the location was so close to the town) and the bike path runs right through the middle of the park, which we biked up and down along the river and into Asheville

Stayed here for 3 nights in August. The sewer hookup was coming apart and bathrooms were dirty. It took me 14 times calling to get through to a person and when I did, he was rude on the phone. The rv pad smelled of sewage, probably because the attachments are poorly maintained. The wifi was barely working. It's right next to the highway. Go somewhere else. Don't waste your money here.

So CONVENIENT to the Biltmore. 8 minutes to the Biltmore entry via the river road and just over the Bridge. Waterfront sites pleasant- clean restroom at far end. Yes a dull rumble of road noise and joggers and dog walkers pass by it's the convenience to come back and check on our dogs that won the day. To EAT. - we enjoyed Homegrown just a few blocks down Amboy Rd. a real trashy building with very good food. We also did a 45 minute drive on the Parkway to Mt Pisgah the Inn has fantastic views of Mtns.

Driving through town. Stayed one night. Clean enough. Concrete almost level site. The folks we saw were nice. We just pulled into site around 6pm and the camp host met us and at site and paid the $45. Multi use trail cuts through the middle with lots of bike and pedestrian traffic, but it's no issue. Right on the river to see kayakers. Nice and close to town to drive into area to visit.
