Bear Creek – Asheville, NC,
$45, W/E
Tight roads, cramped spaces, poor signage and lighting for night arrival.
Several months before coming to Asheville, we had planned to stay in town for the week, but as we got closer and started planning in greater detail, we realized it was expensive to stay anywhere near there. We were still planning to see a friend of ours in Marshall, so we booked this place for the night.
I can’t say much about this CG’s amenities, as we arrived late and left early, but I will say that you should DEFINITELY arrive during the daylight.
The roads to the CG are very tight and twisty, as are the roads in the CG. Also, the lighting and signage is not very good at directing you where you need to go. It didn’t help that it was dumping rain on us. We were also both fighting severe head colds. It was a bad night.
The layout of this park is very strange. You have to drive up a steep incline to get the office. The road is barely wide enough for your RV, and if you don’t have a back-in site up there, you have to exit the park, swing back around, and then go past the entrance to get to the pull-throughs. There was a sign for the pull-throughs, but no light guiding us into the drive way, and the road is a curvy disaster waiting to happen. It would definitely be easier in the daylight and without rain, but it’s still tight.
The park was nearly full, there are apartments on-site, and we witnessed two trailers stuffed into one pull-though next to us. Also, the back-in sites were very close together.
Since we were literally under-the-weather, we asked for a late check-out time and were denied the request. We won’t be back.
