This campground is clean and well maintained. Great views. The staff is very friendly. They have some great tenting sites and small cabins. Babbling streams. Don't hesitate to reserve this campground. It is very hilly. Small children might have to be watched carefully.

Camping on a mountain top was a first in a lifetime experience. This campground is on my short list of must come back again and again. It is a short drive to the River Arts district of Asheville and the Biltmore Village and Biltmore Castle. We explored the small towns around Asheville then returned to sit and watch the setting...

We loved this place! Very quiet and beautiful views! The sites are large with excellent hookups, fire pits and picnic tables. The roads in here are steep and windy but worth it to stay in such a lovely place that is so well maintained. Excellent bathrooms and laundry facilities!

The bathrooms and showers were not only clean, but also quite nice. The laundry facility, which is in the same building as the bathrooms and showers was about the nicest facility I have seen in any hotel or campground. There are not that many tent camp sites (there are more RV sites), but the ones they have are nice and... More

We stayed in a cabin and loved it. We left the windows open and could hear the water running from the creek all night. We were very pleased with the campground - everything was so clean and I always felt safe, I highly recommend Mama Gertie's!

Nice place, I plan on using them again. Management was friendly, facilities were great. The tent sites were screened off from the RVs by trees so I didn't feel crowded in by them or their sounds. The area was lovely and there's an ACE Hardware and CVS not far for anything you might need. It was convenient to Asheville where... More

Jerry and Jan kept telling us they were not the owners, but they treated us and the campground like it was their own. The bathrooms were spotless and I haven't felt as comfortable about taking a shower since I went to New Zealand (where all of the showers are stainless steel). The cabins were clean (not even spider webs outside)... More

We stayed in the cabins and it was absolutely spectacular! The cabin and grounds were clean and very well maintained. The setting is so peaceful with a small stream right outside the cabin. Every time we went to the camp store, someone came up and asked if they could help us with anything, whether the store was supposed to be... More

It would have been perfect and we would have wanted to stay longer had it not been for a loud, inconsiderate family with two toddlers 10 ft away. The manager was apologetic, but unable to change the situation. They are also expanding, so there was quite a bit of machinery/construction noise. This, however, is not the fault of location. It's...
