This park was well located for visiting Brevard, Asheville, and Lake Lure, with easy access just off I-26. The park was quiet, clean and well-maintained as well as dog-friendly. The upper half consists of park models for over-55 residents and was the nicest such place we've seen. The lower half is a big-rig friendly campground with plenty of room. A small creek borders the wooded back boundary of the campground and we saw a bobcat while walking along it. (The levee mentioned previously is complete.) We were also able to fill our propane tank here. There is a large, heated pool which was not yet open in early May. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stayed here for three nights while visiting Biltmore Estates. Spacious sites, full hookups, friendly staff. Our family stayed in one of the apartments which was very clean and accommodating. Great cable TV and wireless service. The grounds are attractive and there are many park models. There is evidence of construction which I am sure will lead to many improvements. There is also a new levee being built behind the campground. There is a Cracker Barrel very near by, as well as gas stations with diesel pumps. Would highly recommend this park to those of us with big rigs..ours is 43 feet with four slides.I would have given it a 10 if the construction was not so visible, but that is not a deterrent since it is meant for improvement. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Lakewood is very quiet and has a very "gated" feeling. It is safe and constantly being worked on. All of the residents and workkampers and some of the family who work there are very pleasant and friendly. It has the potential to be the nicest RV park in three counties. The problem is that at least one of the family owners seems to be very unhappy about being there and appears to want to run a rigid little ship. Even that would be okay if the rules didn't keep changing according to daily whims. My impression was that we were not welcome. Since we know of many very nice places where we are very welcome, I doubt we'll be back here where we do not feel that we are. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Friendly office staff. Good concrete patios at all pullthrough sites. The transient parking area was separated nicely from the full-timers and the park model residents. All were friendly. I wouldn't make this a destination, but it was a great place to camp while seeing the Hendersonville/Asheville area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The campground is far from the web page. There are no mountains visable and there
certainly is not a water fall in the park. The lake is a 15' diameter pond. You could spit across it. There are no campfires permitted at your site and count on everything being closed when you arrive. This campground is not for families. I will never stay here again. Who ever heard of camping in the mountains with no campfire. There are much better campground 10 miles away. Skip this one. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice quiet campground. Advertises itself as a "RV resort that caters to adults." They allow children, however, have strict rules for them. Also, no bike riding etc. We stayed in the new section. According to the owner, this section was just put in. Nice level, big sites with all the amenities. Checked out other campgrounds in the area and noticed the sites at this campground was bigger and further apart. The owners plan on paving all the streets soon (now gravel) and are planning on planting more trees. This will definately add to the overall appearance of the campground. Overall, very nice and quiet. Good home base to explore the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Well maintained, quite (dead quiet), paved streets (real dark at night), not much to do, but lots to do near by, non-smoking bath house, owners are adding more permanent units.. Good place to stay while visiting mountains. Cable TV being added at sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
