Recommendations for campsites near Asheville, NC appreciated (near=less than an hour away from Asheville). Thanks.

Define "camping"

We have everything from primative to complete hookups.

Sorry, should have been more specific. Tent camping, not too primative this trip - would like access to a bathhouse. Are reservations typically accepted/recommended?

Thanks mahoneycutt in advance.

Please checkout the following. It has been several years since I visited/stayed at these camp grounds, but I find each area interesting.

Davidson River Campground - south of
Asheville near Brevard, NC - about an hour away from Asheville - lots of civilization in Brevard - lots of hiking ,fishing, and the best of all Sliding Rock.

Lake Powhatan Campground - just south of Asheville - near the Biltmore Square Mall - near the NC Arboretum

Hot Springs Campground & Spa - north of
Asheville - natural hot springs near by.
Near the Appalachian Trail.

US Forest Service - Pisgah National Forest, Hot Springs 828 622-3202 - this is the most remote - I haven't camped there since childhood - I hiked there several years ago and love the area.

You should be able to find these sites on the Internet.

Good luck and please post a trip report.

agree w/ M, except I would say Davidson river is only 30-35 mins from Asheville.
