Either way, Hwy 25 is safest access otherwise you’re driving on switchbacks and steep grades. Check-in we had to drive across street from campground at the Hot Springs Resort which didn’t make sense with limited RV parking and weaving through parking lot only to go across Hwy 25 to set up in campsite. Had FHU w/50 amp but neighbors sites closer than I like. Enjoyed the stay but spent time visiting Biltmore about 45 mins away. Not sure what comfort stations looked like as we didn’t need them. Not sure if we’ll go out of our way to this area again, but the campground is suitable for others to try especially if you tent by the river sites.

We are so happy we camped here! Full-hook ups, pull-through sites, right on the French Broad River and the Appalachian Trail.We did make use of the hot tubs. The natural hot springs mineral water was 102 degrees that day.

Full-hook ups, pull-through sites, right on the French Broad River and the Appalachian Trail.We did make use of the hot tubs. The natural hot springs mineral water was 102 degrees that day. The water is effervescent and a great exfoliant!I got to hike my first couple of miles on the Appalachian Trial!The quaint town is so close, with laundry, gear store, hardware store, post office, Dollar General, and at least two restaurants/bars with vegan options!The only issue I had with the camp site is the lack of recycling bins and only one large dumpster near the entrance. And, of course, very limited cell service.We didn't mind the train at all.

This campground is in the woods and right on the French Broad River. It isn't the quietest campground as there is a train that goes by and it seemed that the weekend we were there, a lot of groups were there too. However, the Sunday that we were there was a lot quieter as the campground cleared out. The site we were in was pretty level...moreThis campground is in the woods and right on the French Broad River. It isn't the quietest campground as there is a train that goes by and it seemed that the weekend we were there, a lot of groups were there too. However, the Sunday that we were there was a lot quieter as the campground cleared out. The site we were in was pretty level and while we couldn't see the river from our site, we could hear it! There was also a path out of the back of our site that was a quick walk down to the river. The bath houses were fine - clean, but nothing spectacular. The town itself is a cute tiny town right on the Appalachian Trail. A lot of motorcycles visit this area too. We did some fun drives and hikes off the AT and walked to town for both lunch and dinner. We had a great time! There was no cell phone service at all. Just a heads up!

While this is a fairly typical RV/campground, the location is awesome! Within an easy walk, you can access trail loops off the AT, a spa with outdoor hot tubs form the hot spring, bars, restaurants, & shopping in this little town. Have stayed here 3 times and enjoyed it very much, FYI there is 0 cell service here unless you have US ...moreWhile this is a fairly typical RV/campground, the location is awesome!

We made a small detour to stay at Hot Springs Spa & RV Resort just so we could have a soak.

The campground and hot tubs are pricey for what you get – but face it, options for hot tubbing are limited in an RV.  The campground sites are a combination of tent and full hook-up with either 30 or 50 amp. Site quality varies considerably and the sites are not well marked or particularly well maintained. Roads and site surface are dirt. We couldn’t fit in the first site assigned to us even though we were clear about our rig size. The sites were so tight, we actually thought ours was already occupied. This late in the season the campground wasn’t manned, so we had to go to the resort to register. They were very accommodating and gave us a couple of alternative sites to choose from. Still tight, but doable. The campground has a store adjacent to the entrance and is easy walking distance to the town of Hot Springs and the Appalachian Trail. However, you aren’t far from the railroad tracks and the fairly regular and noisy train traffic either. There are outfitters in town for rafting/floating the river and from the bridge in town we watched a young kid catch a decent sized brown trout. The Hot Springs Spa offers several options for a soak, the cost was $43 for two people for a one-hour evening soak in a private Jacuzzi tub. Rates are slightly less before 6pm. Reservations recommended – the only slot left the day we arrived was 9:45pm. The hot springs mineral water is piped in fresh for each session. The tubs are situated along the river and are designed to provide some privacy. Other spa services (massage, facial, wraps, etc.) are also available. We had only 2-3 bars of Verizon 1X. They offer free WiFi, but it didn’t work at all for us in the campground, only in the resort lobby.

We stayed at this place because we wanted to hike and visit this Appalachian Trail town. It's very tiny town, with only 2 or 3 restaurants, one DollarStore, one convenient store, a Library with the best Wi-Fi in town, one Gas station, and one outfitter.

It's very tiny town, with only 2 or 3 restaurants, one DollarStore, one convenient store, a Library with the best Wi-Fi in town, one Gas station, and one outfitter. There are some small specialty stores, and the famous Spa Resort with the mineral baths tubs, which we definitely tried. The best part are the tubbing on the river, biking in town, and of course hiking the Appalachian Trail if your into that. The campground has a lot of trees, and birds, but the red dirt roads make everything very dusty. At dusk you get some bugs due to the river being so close, but they were not that bad. The down side of the place was very limited phone service, and the Wi-fi even though they advertise it, only works at the front of the campground by the guard house. We had to drive to the library where everyone gathered to check their mail. They also will not accept any packages or mail, you will have to send it General Delivery to the local post office That only opens 4 hours a day, two hours in the morning, and two in the afternoon. Other than that the place was very relaxing during the weekdays, but on the weekends is a very popular place. The Sites are mostly Back-in sites, very tight to maneuver, with only a few pull through sites. Bathrooms and shower were very clean, and Showers worked awesome! The river can be accessed anywhere on the campground. The Resort hot tubs are a little pricey, but worth the experience.
