The sites are concrete, wide and level. A big plus in my opinion. I like that it is family owned. The campground is sandwiched between two highways and has a public walking/biking trail through the middle of it. Not a quiet camping experience. However there are beautiful views of the river and the easy access to walking trails. Do not trust your GPS to get here.
Didn't stay here, but a friend who came to visit parked their rig here. Seemed very conveniently located, although a bit confusing getting there the first time.
There isn't anyone on site to check you in. Your site number is in your confirmation email. The entrance to this RV park is quite difficult. If you have a larger rig I recommend doing your research on entering the park from 240. They do however pick up your garbage and the sites are all flat concrete slabs and the view of the river is nice.
We chose this little park for our 4 night stay in Asheville. This place was hit hard by the storm. They had just reopened when we arrived in September 2025. The guy on site was still setting up the sites when we got here. He ran right out and got us our picnic table and a new fire ring with a built in grill top on it, which was a nice surprise in case we wanted to use it. This site has all new electrical on every spot. Full hook up sewer , water and electric. I read reviews about water pressure but we have no issues, and my wife definitely needs high pressure to wash that super thick hair. (Happy wife, happy life). there is a public bike/ walking trail that runs through the property. Not a deal breaker and we didn't have any issues. We are right off the interstate, I feel like the background sounds are actually helpful to add a little privacy as not to disturb the neighbors. We can still hear the frogs on the river and its beautiful. We chose this spot because of the location being central to town as our goal was to explore the region.
I enjoyed 4 nights at the Wilson's Riverfront RV Park. All the other reviews are correct. Yes, the turn is to sharp for a RV. Yes, you will have runners, bikers, and walkers going through the middle of the campground. Yes, the spots are close together. Yes, you will be next to an interstate. With that being said, I did enjoy staying at the campground. I wasn't hopeful about fishing after seeing the 7 ft. drop to the water and all the trees. Tried anyways to fish and had one good day. Caught small mouth, catfish and bluegills. Just expect your line to get stuck a lot on rocks.
This was a great RV park! Vicki was very kind and helpful! The nearby highway was a non issue. We never saw any threatening people. There is a path right down the middle that is busy with bikers, walkers, runners! We exercised twice and went different directions! There was a food truck and beer truck one way that was super fun to watch people tubing on the river! Quick Uber or Lyft ride to center of town ranging from $8 to $11.
We stayed for three nights. The spaces are all back in, it’s very cramped & hard to find.. gps brings you way down the road. I couldn’t get anyone on the phone days before or day of to help figure out where they were located or to help with anything for that matter. It’s literally NEXT to the interstate so it’s quite noisy day & night. There is a bike/park path that runs from a park down the street right through the RV park so there are people and animals just walking, jogging and riding through nonstop all day long! It IS close to town and everything you want to go see, and that’s its ONLY saving grace! The sewage is so gross we couldn’t leave the black water open without strong orders & bugs invading our camper! I did finally reach someone through email for a question about our reservation but it was not very helpful. It wasn’t the worst place but far from the best! Definitely overpriced for what it is. I had read some other reviews saying how disgusting the bathrooms were so I didn’t bother exploring those areas.
Well it is in a great location , right off the hwy and on a river, but the campground is very difficult to access. The on line service was great, we had no communication with anyone on property. We were on site 12 and there was a downpour of rain and we expected a lot of water except lot 12 is the only space there that held 6-8" of water hours and the day after. It isn't properly drained as are the other lots. We would've stated another day but it was so wet on our lot we couldn't enjoy the space.
We stayed here for 3 nights with our small camper. Some things we liked about this campground: the proximity to Asheville, the concrete pads underneath the campers, the river view, the trash pick-up each morning, the easy online check-in process, the access to the bike path, the small-ish size, and the price. Honestly, the noise level was not bad. It's next to a highway, so I'm not sure what kind of silent evening miracle people were expecting in previous reviews? We slept through it with no problem! However, we were really disappointed with the bathroom situation. The first day, someone was actively cleaning it. But, judging by the same pieces of trash/hair clumps/bugs being in the same place on my 3rd day there, it's safe to say it isn't cleaned very often. The toilets were new and the showers were hot, but the bathrooms smelled badly for most of the time. The only other issue is that a lot of transient folks were making their way into the campground; one guy even asking if he could tie his tarps to our vehicle. He spent the rest of the evening talking to himself and fidgeting with his site about a foot from our camper windows. It's not necessarily Wilson's fault, as homelessness is an issue in this area, but maybe some security measures can be put into effect? Overall, I would probably recommend this campground, as it is a decent value for the money.
Very small and right on the interstate so very noisy all night. Also there is a bike path running through the middle of the campground in front of the campers. It is very busy and dangerous especially for small children. The bikers are going so fast they don’t pay attention to people in the way.
Self check in online, convenient. RV sites level with Full hook up. Dog friendly, trash pick up every morning. Location to Ashville is perfect, close, just a little outside the city, along the river. The town park is next door and has something for everyone. Nice river walk goes thru Wilson's RV park and every Sunday the neighboring rafting business hosts a Dead cover band that sound sensational! Great place when visiting Ashville with a travel trailer. Tough place to access off the highway ramp. They advise to go to the gas station to turn around, we bottomed out. I advise to turn around in the park entrance instead. All around good visit.
This is our pups favorite stop. The entrance is a bit tricky to navigate, but once parked it’s a relaxing spot right on the river. It is right by the interstate so there is some traffic noise, but it’s never bothered us. We will be back our next trip to Asheville!
They’ve been doing some upgrades to sites which will be good in the long term. Unfortunately when we arrived our site didn’t look like the pictures (lumpy mud from construction, no picnic table or fire pit). But the owner was very nice and gave us a discount for the discrepancy. This is definitely the best RV park if you want to be close to the center of Asheville, and it’s right on the river with the walking/biking trail.
They were getting a bit of a facelift with new concrete pads being poured - looks really nice. Thicker grass would be welcome because as soon as you step off the concrete pad, it's pretty muddy. It's a little strange having the Fr. Broad River running/walking/biking trail run right down the center of the campground - interrupting their exercise while you're backing in or pulling out was a little unnerving. Every campground we've found in Asheville is close quarters in terms of getting to the campground and inside the campground, so if you're not completely comfortable with navigating your camper in tight spaces, you might want to book in a neighboring town. We actually spent very little time at the campground, only sleeping there at night, but it truly was quiet. I could hear I-40 in the distance, but it didn't bother us at all - we slept good! I don't know if wifi or cable was available. We found no information about it but also weren't interested... just there for sleep.
I'm going to give it 5 stars because this is by far the nicest urban RV campground I've ever visited. Everything is online from reservations to check-in. Level concrete pads, plenty of maneuvering room inside the park. You're located in the Greenway -- the bike path goes right through the property -- and you can ride on bike paths to the Arts District. Great for pets, and glorious for kids because of the stuff in the park. Don't mark it down for the traffic noise or the sharp turn to get onto the property -- that's the price you pay for being in town. Safe neighborhood but there's lots of people around. It's urban. If you want to stay in the woods, there are plenty of gorgeous places within an hour. Want a quick overnighter, this isn't your place. Want to to spend a few days in this lovely town -- and bicycle everywhere while you're at it -- don't miss this place. Best way to do Asheville, by a wide margin.
We booked a site along the river. It had just poured the day before but the site was dry (unlike other reviews). Reservations and check in were simple. There is an RV repair shop on site, luckily we didn't need to use it. The dog park is 1.6 miles (not 1 mile like their info states), however, it's a beautiful walk along the river to the park. Very short uber ride to all the Ashville attractions and restaurants.
We stayed here for a few nights during the Thanksgiving holiday. The campsite is conveniently located for those who are interested in exploring Asheville. Yes, it is near the highway, which means there is noise - you are in the city. It was not a surprise to us that there would be some noise. The campground itself is clean, quiet and has cement pads which was a huge plus. We also enjoyed the easy and convenient access to the walking trail as we had our two dogs with us. We would definitely stay again!
This campground is suitable for a one nighter. The interstate is about 50 yd from the campground so the truck and traffic noise is all night long. It's tough getting in & out of the campground entrance pulling your trailer. With our truck & 30' trailer we were not able to maneuver the turn to get back on the interstate, so we had to go through a residential area to get access back to the interstate. The roads were narrow, curvy & hilly.
We tent camped here for our 2023 Labor Day weekend in Ashville. We had a great time - easy-peasy booking and camping. We did have to carry our gear from the parking area to the site...but only 100 ft. The rest rooms and showers are actually quite fantastic - new, clean, hot water, potable water and 110V power for charging. Quite civilized for "primitive camping" pricing. The campsite is right on the river...it's also between two busy roads. The traffic noise is quite loud late into the night, but honestly, with a couple of local IPA's in us, the noise blended into the background and we enjoyed our time around the campfire and slept well. Thank you Wilson's!
Stayed three nights in a nice, shady site along the French Broad River. Clean bathhouse, friendly service, quiet campground. The great location right on the recreation trail allowed us to bike everywhere we wanted to go (note: Asheville is very bike friendly and also quite hilly). Know that sites that are not on the river don't get shade. Yes, you hear road noise because of the highway nearby, so know that when you go. However, with the fan on in the camper, we had no problems sleeping. We would definitely stay here again.
Simple, clean, river views, but no access from majority of sites. It's a quick, pretty trail walk to the boathouse and outdoor bar/hangout, and that's very cool. They do not have firewood available here!! But there are grill pits. It is very very loud, being on a 24/7 busy highway!! But the bathhouse is clean. Although, the men's room was locked at 0630 so a male camper had to use the ladies shower while we guarded the door.... but I'm sure that was the fluke of a careless camper. Go for it!
Great location but definitely a departure from normal campgrounds. When we arrived, no one was about to check us in and no one stopped by to see if we were actually supposed to be there. The bathrooms were out of order the first day and once back up and running, the code given to us didn’t work our entire stay. Fortunately, we have a bathroom in our camper but please be careful booking a stay here, if you don’t. The only “staff” we saw was the guy who drove around and picked up the trash everyday. Sites are paved and level which is nice but there is a lot of noise from the highway. Overall, it’s a good location for a short stay when you want to explore Asheville but there isn’t much else to say about it.
Great location close to town. Booked here b/c of proximity and ease of booking online. Giving a lower review because it was advertised there were working bathrooms and when we arrived the bathrooms were not even completed yet and RV staff was hard to reach. We received in our confirmation email a bathroom code, but when we arrived they were not available. Our stay was on April 5-6th. Our email confirmation, as well as sign posting at the restrooms, stated showers would be available April-October (see pic). We ended up getting a refund which was great b/c we never would have booked here had their not been showers. Overall I would stay here if you have shower capabilities in your rig and are looking for a quick stay without staff interaction.
We camped here 3 nights in a travel trailer. The sites are all concrete pads, but we had to level the trailer. A path runs through the campground for walking and biking. We enjoyed the path and had no trouble with anyone. The French Broad River is visible from most sites. The restrooms were closed and seemed likely too be in a state of disrepair.We visited Chimney Rock from here and could have easily visited The Biltmore from here. There is no wifi at this campground.
We stayed about 2 weeks. Overall this is a nice campground. If you choose here it is most likely because you like the proximity to downtown, The Biltmore, the breweries, and the bikes trails. It is obvious not in a quiet forest. It's right off the interstate so the noise is really loud, we wore ear plugs to sleep. Also we had no issues with the people coming through on the bike trail (no one seemed shady),the trail is just weirdly located in the middle of the RV Park road and hard to navigate your vehicles/RVs as there are so many people biking and walking. It is pretty tight depending on your RV length and getting in/out is tricking. We drove off the interstate and into the parking lot of the business right there and there was plenty of space to you turn and safely drive back into the RV Park.
But overall we would come back. It was just a three mile bike ride to New Belgium brewery and really centrally located to everything that we wanted to do in downtown asheville. It's right next to a big city park that has a dog park and plenty of green space for kids and you can fish in the river. The campground manager was very nice and worked with us changing our dates several times so kudos to the staff. The grounds are well kept and we only saw one permanent RV that was a little run down. Otherwise people are in and out all the time.
Wonderful campsite for tent campers. We were hesitant to reserve after reading several reviews about the noise from the highway, but it really was not bad and did not keep us from sleeping. We camped in July and the park was full of bunnies, fireflies, and blackberries! The bike / walking trail that runs through the site was nice and the passerbys were friendly. Clean bathrooms and a central, convenient location. We’ll be back!
Enjoyed our stay! Price is very reasonable for full hookups. The manager at the park is great, pleasant and extremely helpful. We had a couple of minor issues that were promptly taken care of. Garbage is picked up in front of your site daily, just put it out before 11:00. It's a smaller RV park and we liked that about it. Nice view of the river from either the riverside or hillside sites. The traffic noise did not bother us. Great accessibility to the Biltmore Estate and if you're a motorcycle enthusiast be sure to visit Wheels Through Time about a 30 minute drive in Maggie Valley.
Key to real estate…..location, location, location. I bet 30 years ago before all the major highways were in place this was a very peaceful calm and serene location. But as I type this I am hearing the overwhelmingly loud and obnoxious sound of a Jacobson break on the numerous semi tractor trailers and dump trucks that blaze by here at ?? miles an hour. It’s enough to give you a headache for sure. Sleeping at night unfortunately is difficult due to the incessant Jacobson breaks employed by the trucks at night time, seemingly all hours of the night. The section of North Carolina should embrace a no engine braking ordinance but due to the steep hills that may not be doable.
The location right on the French Broad River is nice, the river is very calm and serene and the neighbors in the park are mostly quiet and non existent. We saw the camp host only once when she walked down to inspect me as I was washing my windows most likely to ensure I was not washing the entire RV.
The owner of the park is a very quiet non-social person and talking to him is quite difficult.
There were signs of recent flooding and heavy mud damage over the entire park however that was not mentioned to us once before arriving.
If one needs to spend a few days in Asheville the location of this park makes it doable as driving to town is a mere 2 to 5 miles away. Lyft and Uber are available and if you find the right driver makes for a very interesting and enjoyable trip. There is a bike path that runs straight down the middle of the park so you get a lot of transient activity in the park so it’s best to ensure most of your items are locked up.
It is a bit pricey for zero amenities and after October they close the bathhouse so obviously you have to be completely self-contained to stay here.
I would recommend no more than 2 to 3 days max at this location if you need to stay near Asheville.
Wonderful stay here! The host was incredibly kind and the only time someone sketchy tried to take up residence at the campground, the problem was taken care of immediately. I felt safe and enjoyed the ability to walk into town on the river trail. Clean bathrooms and a nice hot shower! It is near the Highway, so highway sounds are to be expected. Trucks do engine brake as they enter the area, so that’s not ideal for a quiet setting but it didn’t disturb our sleep in any way. Having stayed here and the other RV park in town, I’d pick this one every time for the convenience of walking to things.
Nice, pretty campground with hiking trails along the French Broad River. Nice large concrete site, clean restrooms and full hook ups. As stated, you need to pass the entrance & turn around, but we were aware of this and it was no big deal. There are easy turn around areas just a block or two away. I would definitely stay here again.
