Pisgah/Lake Powhatan

Nirmal Krishnan

While the beach area is nothing special, the scenic trail around Lake Powhatan is a definite highlight. You'll find a nice picnic area right by the parking lot and beach. Keep in mind that the fishing pier is accessed from a different road, and restrooms are conveniently located at the top of the steps.

A great campground in the Pisgah National Forest just outside of Asheville NC. The staff was great, friendly and helpful. The restrooms and showers were very clean and well kept up as was the entire campground. We stayed in site 46 in the Lakeside loop. All sites (36 - 57), in that loop are paved sites with full hookups. You'll need leveling blocks as the sites have a pretty good pitch to the drivers side rear corner. Additional notes, it is black bear country, so be aware of your surroundings for yourself and your pets! Easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway entrance.

The campground was nice, the sites were well-situated and our kids loved the beach area. The camp hosts were not very attentive and the restrooms were not well-maintained. We were frequently down to only 1 stall for 30+ people on our loop for over 24 hours before they unlocked or cleaned them. Other than that we very much enjoyed our stay

Nice place to explore near Asheville!

The place is amazing for hiking and mountain biking. Warning for biking, it's more designed for hiking, and way more uphill biking than most will want. No aggressive downhill trails. Definitely also a cool place to camp.
