Right along some of the most scenic spots on the Blue Ridge Parkway, near the North Carolina Arboretum, you’ll find this stunning campground. It sits in the midst of a large wooded recreation area on Lake Powhatan, offering both forested hiking and sand beaches. It’s also close to the interstate and just around 10 minutes from Asheville, so you have easy access to urban areas too.
One of the most beautiful and popular recreation areas and campgrounds along the Blue Ridge Parkway, Lake Powhatan offers a real sand beach, wildlife viewing, hiking trails, and great mountain biking through the 6,000 acre Bent Creek Experimental Forest. You’ll also find the state arboretum, French Broad River, which is great for fishing, and of course, the Blue Ridge Parkway. Best of all, Asheville is just down the road.
