The sites are concrete, wide and level. A big plus in my opinion. I like that it is family owned. The campground is sandwiched between two highways and has a public walking/biking trail through the middle of it. Not a quiet camping experience. However there are beautiful views of the river and the easy access to walking trails. Do not trust your GPS to get here.

Didn't stay here, but a friend who came to visit parked their rig here. Seemed very conveniently located, although a bit confusing getting there the first time.

There isn't anyone on site to check you in. Your site number is in your confirmation email. The entrance to this RV park is quite difficult. If you have a larger rig I recommend doing your research on entering the park from 240. They do however pick up your garbage and the sites are all flat concrete slabs and the view of the river is nice.

We chose this little park for our 4 night stay in Asheville. This place was hit hard by the storm. They had just reopened when we arrived in September 2025. The guy on site was still setting up the sites when we got here. He ran right out and got us our picnic table and a new fire ring with a built in grill top on it, which was a nice surprise in case we wanted to use it. This site has all new electrical on every spot. Full hook up sewer , water and electric. I read reviews about water pressure but we have no issues, and my wife definitely needs high pressure to wash that super thick hair. (Happy wife, happy life). there is a public bike/ walking trail that runs through the property. Not a deal breaker and we didn't have any issues. We are right off the interstate, I feel like the background sounds are actually helpful to add a little privacy as not to disturb the neighbors. We can still hear the frogs on the river and its beautiful. We chose this spot because of the location being central to town as our goal was to explore the region.

I enjoyed 4 nights at the Wilson's Riverfront RV Park. All the other reviews are correct. Yes, the turn is to sharp for a RV. Yes, you will have runners, bikers, and walkers going through the middle of the campground. Yes, the spots are close together. Yes, you will be next to an interstate. With that being said, I did enjoy staying at the campground. I wasn't hopeful about fishing after seeing the 7 ft. drop to the water and all the trees. Tried anyways to fish and had one good day. Caught small mouth, catfish and bluegills. Just expect your line to get stuck a lot on rocks.
