I am visiting Asheville in July, does anyone have recommendations on the best campgrounds to stay at? I am thinking the Tipi one looks interesting and have reserved for two nights there, but would also like to be near water, close to town if possible.

Thanks!
Not enough info, please elaborate on what type of camping you are doing? Tent, primitive, RV, motor home, etc. National Parks? State Parks? ????? Privately owned campgrounds ???? Do you want to fish, hike, climb? Near water and close to town? sounds odd to me.
If you are wearing red sequined shoes, maybe you could click your heels together.
-Tent
-State, National or Private will do
-I just want something pretty, close (within 20 minutes?) to town. Water would be nice.
The Dorthy jokes never get old!
Haven't camped there, usually we only used the parks or national forests etc. Here is a good one in the Pisgah Forest off 191 within a reasonable distance from Asheville, very secluded, clean and inexpensive. Camped there several times, once for more than a month.
Regardless of where you camp, please study up on the bear issues in western NC and be aware of your surroundings in the areas; heed warnings of bear sightings etc.
You can't get any closer to town. It's right on the river in West Asheville. There's tent sites for $20/night. It's right in the middle of a greenway that leads to a public park (miles of walking trails). The cons? You're camping ridiculously close to the interstate, so the noise and pollution levels may or may not be worth it.
Great, thanks for all the info everyone, very helpful!
Hope you have a wonderful time and hope you get back to this topic to let us know ! we always like to get feedback after suggesting places we think folks would like. There is so much to do in Henderson and/or Buncombe Counties in July!
