Mama Gertie's Hideaway Campground

This location is close to area activities and the interstate and still far enough away from hwy and city noise. The bathrooms and laundry are clean. There are some awesome RV sites with beautiful views but also a lot of sites that are small and could be difficult to access depending on your rig and skills. Many sites will require disconnecting and parking sideways in front of your camper if towing. The online third party reservation company they use does not explain this or that this campground is on the side of a steep hill. We checked in on a Sunday and their offices were closed. The maintenance worker checked us in. He was very friendly and did his best to help everyone but because of this campgrounds strict check-in window four campers arrived around the same time which made this difficult for everyone. For us, the price / value ratio didn’t work.

Great campsites, spectacular views (if you get one of the higher campsites) and spacious and spotless bathrooms! The only problem was the door lock for the bathrooms -try to remember AND get the code in in the middle of the night-good luck. (Not sure why the bathrooms need a door lock anyways) Communication was good. We had the change the dates which was no problem at all. Unfortunately we could not charge our EV. Close to Asheville but super quiet.

5 stars for the 2 guys who helped us get checked in. Attitude and willingness to help outstanding. 4 stars because of having to unload our utility trailer and leave at main parking area. Very steep layout. 2nd level had great sites. Firewood $5 & those guys bring it to your site. Very clean and great bath facilities. Very quiet and simply a nice mountain campground.

We just had a great six night stay at Mama Gertie's. We opted for a Tier Three mountain view spot and that it was... wonderful views! We arrived on Labor Day weekend so Tier Three was nearly full but we still had enough elbow room. Bathrooms were spotless and so was the laundry room, both on Tier Three so it was nice not having to walk far for either. My only mild complaint was the firewood we bought from Mam Gertie's was pretty green and didn't burn well, even using the fire starter they provided. We would definitely stay there again but next time I'm bringing some kindling and a few logs of my own!

I loved Mama Gertie’s Campground. Close to Downtown Asheville. Super quiet, tucked into a hill and woods! The staff were super helpful and kind. When they warn you about the bears… believe them. We actually got to see one crossing the road near our campsite. It didn’t look our way… so no harm done, but they are out there!
