The park centers around a private three-acre lake, creating a tranquil environment that feels worlds away from the highway while remaining easily accessible for all rig sizes.
Location & Surroundings
Situated just south of downtown Hendersonville, NC, the park sits on what was once a sprawling family estate. The terrain is characterized by rolling hills and mature hardwoods, providing natural shade and a sense of privacy between sites. Its elevation offers the cool mountain breezes typical of the region, making it an ideal summer destination for those looking to escape the humidity of the lowlands while enjoying panoramic forest views.

A unique highlight is the lakefront area, where visitors can enjoy catch-and-release fishing or use the provided canoes and paddleboards to explore the water at a leisurely pace.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Located only minutes from historic downtown Hendersonville, the park is a perfect base for exploring local apple orchards and breweries. Outdoor enthusiasts are within a short drive of DuPont State Recreational Forest, famous for its majestic waterfalls and hiking trails. Additionally, the vibrant cultural scene of Asheville and the historic Biltmore Estate are less than thirty minutes away, offering endless opportunities for day trips.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is ideal for couples and mature travelers who appreciate a quiet, well-ordered environment without the bustle of high-occupancy commercial resorts. It is particularly well-suited for those traveling in motorhomes or fifth wheels who value scenic lakefront relaxation and a boutique camping experience.

I stayed here tent camping for about 2 weeks. The people who run this campground are amazing folks. Its quite and peaceful here. I would definitely be back. If you looking to camp peacefully this is the place to go. They have a heated bathouse that is cleaner than any bathroom I've ever seen. Showers are hot and run great. They have laundry as well. Great amazing place!

We camped at Red Gates RV Park September 23-Sept 27. We enjoyed the atmosphere as a smaller campground it was very pleasant to camp there with our dog. Our site (#12) was very spacious and the setting for the campground is very pretty. Our trip was a short one - this trip was to attend a play at Flat Rock Playhouse. This campground is very near to both the playhouse and to Grandad's Apple House which is a tradition for us. It is nice to have the local restaurants and an Ingles market nearby. We will indeed return for a visit.

Very nice small, quite, clean family campground. Great location ! Wifi worked good. Plenty of room to walk and enjoy nature ! Will be back !!

The park is clean, safe, shady, & was conveniently located for all of our adventures. However, this small park has a good number of seasonal residents who are quite content to have the park to themselves. One resident even recorded us as we set up our camper. That was a bit unnerving.

Great little campground! We didn't really know what to expect based on the reviews but everyone was friendly, the campground was really clean and it's soo quite! In fact it was so quite that we slept with the windows open enjoying the cool early fall nights. Will stay here again when in the area.
