Campfire Lodgings

We stayed here on new years. The campground was very clean and quiet. Jason was very friendly and helpful even though we were a bit worried because of Andy's not so warm welcome. We went with my dads travel trailer which is 27ft and had no issues going up the hilly entrance, our spot was pretty level as well. The bathrooms/showers were clean but in need of a bit of updating and the water was not warm enough for a winter shower. The Wifi was reliable even though we were in the last spot. Overall I would definitely recommend Campfire lodgings and would stay again.

We were so excited the get reservations at this campground. The host was very kind on the phone, and they promptly sent us a emailed confirmation. We knew that the campground is on the side of the mountain, and it would require some challenging roads to get to the campground. However we were unprepared for the route to be poorly marked and the road to be unpaved. The signage is very poor, and you are left guessing if you are driving up the correct mountian road. When we arrived to the campground, the young lady who helped us check in was very unfriendly. The did not inform us that the restrooms were closed due to Covid 19. I asked if I could use the restroom, and the lady just stated no we do not have any. She was very cold and gave us an uninviting welcome. She was not engaging or interested in helping us get settled into the park. The sites are long and sufficient. We were able to get set up without any concerns. What shocked me is how you have to exit the campground. The campground is basically one way with a small area that you must turn around in order to leave the campground. I saw many experienced drivers fret and struggle on how they were going to get their RV out of the park. To me the exit process is a deal breaker for me becasue of the stress that it puts on your RV to make such a tight turn. We would only return to the park we were able to get a premium site. The views from these sites are world class and worth the trouble to driving up the mountian. However the regular sites do not have a view at all, and do not justify the stress involved in travling to this campground.

If I were to describe this campground in one word, it would be “epic”. My husband and I recently celebrated the 4th of July here with our (2) large dogs and let me say it was nothing short of fabulous. The staff (Jason) is awesome and make you feel right at home from the minute you arrive. We were lucky enough to snag spot D-19, which has an amazing deck attached to the site and an awesome view from the slide. The site also offers privacy due to how it’s set up, which we loved for outdoor entertainment. We could not have been happier with this site. The pet trails are perfect for any pet owner and they also have wifi, although it’s a tad slow. The lookout point made every evening magical, especially on the 4th, when there’s fireworks galore! Overall, we’d recommend this campsite to anyone looking for a campsite you’ll talk about for years to come. We’ll definitely be back!

We were here during the covid-19 lockdown so we were able to stay for 41 days until they were full! We totally lucked out, because if there's one place to have to stay for longer than normal this is absolutely it!

The view is spectacular and doesn't get old. There are walking paths through the woods that are on their land. Turkeys strut their stuff right next to your RV, we also saw a fox and signs of a black bear. It's just a small 19 RV park, but we were especially lucky to share it with only 2 other RV's.

They have "regular" pads that are gravel and "premium" pads that are concrete with a view. We were on a concrete pad with a fabulous view out of the bedroom window. The park WiFi worked very well, but of course, the park was nearly empty.

We will definitely return to this park. We even started looking around the area to check the price of land!

Data on Verizon was pretty good 25/10 Mbps. AT&T was variable from as good as Verizon down to constantly dropping depending on the weather. T-Mobile was only 2 bars but gave a decent 15/10 Mbps.

A final hint about access. It's an uphill gravel road that's wide enough for an RV and maybe a car passing. RV's leave before 2pm and new RV's arrive after 2pm - the rule is because you do not want to pass on this road. Also when doing up the road the last bend to the left is reasonably steep and so do not stop on it. We are a big 45' RV and we got up fine, just don't treat it as a normal road and maybe unhook before the hill (it's not necessary, but it will make you feel a bit more comfortable).

This place was absolutely amazing. We loved our time here! It’s on top of a mountain and there are amazing sunset views. We spotted this place online before we decided to buy an RV and it definitely lived up to our high expectations. There are premium sites and deluxe sites. The premium sites have an amazing view right from their sites. The deluxe ones still have nice views, but not quite like the deluxe ones. However, there is a common area where you can go that has the best view of all! That’s where we watched the sunset every night and it was fun getting to know the other campers. We saw a black bear and turkeys in the campground too! The staff is super helpful. Each site has a trash can so you do not have to worry about making dumpster runs. Be sure not to get there early - the one way road going up to the campground is steep and I’m not quite sure what would happen if you met another RV!

We loved our week long stay here and will be back! It’s a higher price point, but so worth it if you can splurge a little, especially for the spots with a view. We loved our spot P5! The road getting up the hill is a bit bumpy and curvy. The laundry room and showers are totally decent, nothing fancy, but like I said it’s the view and location you’re paying for. The staff/owners are soooo incredibly friendly and accommodating and really take pride in their business.

We stayed here for two nights in Sept 2019. Our site was P4 and we had a lovely view. The sites are close but thoughtful landscaping provides some decent privacy. The road leading up to the campground is mostly gravel and quite curvy so be prepared for that! The bathhouse had laundry facilities and each bathroom had a shower. The bathrooms were pretty clean. The campground was very quiet. They are a dog friendly campground without breed restrictions, which is important to us.
I will say the sites with the best views are P4, P5 and P8. But everyone can hang out at the overlook between site P5 and P8. Gorgeous view of the French Broad River at site P8 and the overlook. I would definitely stay here again!

Charming and rustic place is a windy gravel drive to the top of a mountain. Our site was a little tricky to get into, but managed with some help from a friendly neighbor. The views from the picnic area and a few of the choice sites is incredible. None of the pictures do it justice. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Short drive to Asheville which is such an awesome town. We will definitely be back and, hopefully, score one of the Mountain View sites!
