Campfire Lodgings, Asheville NC Review
Campfire Lodgings, Asheville NC Review
This place is like Heaven on Earth. Pretty much sums up our review. The views alone make it a winner. Check this out:
We only had one night to spend, but we had gotten to the campground in time to enjoy eating dinner outside while watching a gorgeous sunset over the Blue Ridge Mountains.
This is a relatively small campground, with only 19 RV sites with water, electric, sewer, & 70 channel cable TV hookups. We chose to pay extra for one of the premium sites which gave us this gorgeous, unobstructed view of the mountains and valley.
You can tell that there are many people who stay at this campground for much longer than the one night we were there (and who could blame them!). Unlike the KOA and Jellystone Campgrounds we visited, this was more adult-oriented in that there isn’t the focus on activities (no pools, mini-golf, hayrides, and kids’ activities that you will find at those other places). For our purposes though, this was a positive thing for this night. It was so peaceful & quiet. It was actually relaxing, which is not a word that I can use often when related to our family travels.
The atmosphere is very quiet, and we had read reviews online prior to coming stating that it was not a good place to bring the kids because of the expectation for quiet and the reprimanding (and possibility of getting kicked out!) that may occur if the kids are too loud or rowdy. The reviewers had felt that their kids were not being particularly loud or rowdy, and yet they were still reprimanded. This was not our experience. Our kids were very well-behaved (we beat it into them after reading the reviews), so maybe that’s why our experience was different. Who knows.
The location is about 10 miles from the city of Asheville. It is a good place to stop after driving through Great Smoky Mountain National Park and before heading to Shenandoah National Park, which is exactly what we did.
We didn’t want to leave this view, but we had to be on our way to complete the final leg of our RV journey.

Overall we loved our night at Campfire Lodgings in Asheville, NC. The view was unsurpassed, and we would be hard pressed to find a hotel room for this price that would have such five star views in such a secluded and special place. We would return & recommend it - just leave the rowdy kids at home:)
