Excellent campgrounds! We've stayed there 3 times now and will continue to go back. The staff working the main gate are always friendly. The campsites are well maintained. I've only stayed in the Bent Creek loop because it's my favorite. The campsites are spaced enough apart that they're relatively private. However, they're all perfectly placed in proximity to the restrooms. I love that they have hot water and showers. The bathrooms are kept very clean! It's also nice that they have heating bars in the bathrooms and showers to make the colder visits tolerable. The location is perfect. It's very close to the Biltmore. It's right behind the NC Arboretum and one can hike there. I also like that you can hike to the lake and it's accessible to swim in a sectioned off area.

Like others have said, this is a great campground ruined by crazy rules. First off, I follow rules and appreciate reasonable rules for any campground, esp quiet times. I have stayed there 3 or 4 times, and twice felt really frustrated by staff. First time I came with my camper and wanted to get two sites, one for me and another for a friend that was an hour behind me and going to tent camp. They acted like I was insane, no way would they let me get two sites unless both parties were there, even though I was willing to pay for both. Another time we arrived and there was no spaces with electric, so they said camp in one without then the next morning I could have this space that someone was leaving and taking another space. Sounds fine, but then they tell me I have to be there when the space becomes available and have to be moved in within an hour even if I pay and they have no idea when they are changing sites, but said it had to be done before 11. OK, so I wait, and wait, and wait, then around noon I go and see whats going on and was told the person in the other site couldn't move until that night, AND they were going to hold the other site for him until them. I was livid and ready to blow, just then someone else pulled up and was leaving and they gave me that site. As we were setting up a ranger came by and I was complaining to him, he said it didn't have anything to do with forestry service and he knew all about the issues I was talking about and told me of another campground I should try. At least he was sympathetic. I wish they could get their act together, I love the spot.

Nice campground but not all spots are very tent friendly. Also there are not enough bathrooms and showers to handle the morning Rush. They do have private hot showers with very weak water pressure.
