Best WLM Reviews
I enjoyed 4 nights at the Wilson's Riverfront RV Park. All the other reviews are correct. Yes, the turn is to sharp for a RV. Yes, you will have runners, bikers, and walkers going through the middle of the campground. Yes, the spots are close together. Yes, you will be next to an interstate. With that being said, I did enjoy staying at the campground. I wasn't hopeful about fishing after seeing the 7 ft. drop to the water and all the trees. Tried anyways to fish and had one good day. Caught small mouth, catfish and bluegills. Just expect your line to get stuck a lot on rocks.
We stayed for three nights. The spaces are all back in, it’s very cramped & hard to find.. gps brings you way down the road. I couldn’t get anyone on the phone days before or day of to help figure out where they were located or to help with anything for that matter. It’s literally NEXT to the interstate so it’s quite noisy day & night. There is a bike/park path that runs from a park down the street right through the RV park so there are people and animals just walking, jogging and riding through nonstop all day long! It IS close to town and everything you want to go see, and that’s its ONLY saving grace! The sewage is so gross we couldn’t leave the black water open without strong orders & bugs invading our camper! I did finally reach someone through email for a question about our reservation but it was not very helpful. It wasn’t the worst place but far from the best! Definitely overpriced for what it is.
I had read some other reviews saying how disgusting the bathrooms were so I didn’t bother exploring those areas.
We stayed here for 3 nights with our small camper. Some things we liked about this campground: the proximity to Asheville, the concrete pads underneath the campers, the river view, the trash pick-up each morning, the easy online check-in process, the access to the bike path, the small-ish size, and the price.
Honestly, the noise level was not bad. It's next to a highway, so I'm not sure what kind of silent evening miracle people were expecting in previous reviews? We slept through it with no problem!
However, we were really disappointed with the bathroom situation. The first day, someone was actively cleaning it. But, judging by the same pieces of trash/hair clumps/bugs being in the same place on my 3rd day there, it's safe to say it isn't cleaned very often. The toilets were new and the showers were hot, but the bathrooms smelled badly for most of the time. The only other issue is that a lot of transient folks were making their way into the campground; one guy even asking if he could tie his tarps to our vehicle. He spent the rest of the evening talking to himself and fidgeting with his site about a foot from our camper windows. It's not necessarily Wilson's fault, as homelessness is an issue in this area, but maybe some security measures can be put into effect?
Overall, I would probably recommend this campground, as it is a decent value for the money.
This was a great RV park! Vicki was very kind and helpful! The nearby highway was a non issue. We never saw any threatening people. There is a path right down the middle that is busy with bikers, walkers, runners! We exercised twice and went different directions! There was a food truck and beer truck one way that was super fun to watch people tubing on the river! Quick Uber or Lyft ride to center of town ranging from $8 to $11.
Well it is in a great location
, right off the hwy and on a river, but the campground is very difficult to access. The on line service was great, we had no communication with anyone on property. We were on site 12 and there was a downpour of rain and we expected a lot of water except lot 12 is the only space there that held 6-8" of water hours and the day after. It isn't properly drained as are the other lots. We would've stated another day but it was so wet on our lot we couldn't enjoy the space.
Fantastic spot right near downtown Asheville, right on the French Broad. Right off the highway but road noise blends in with the sound of the river. Convenience and cost make this our go-to spot for a weekend visit to the charming downtown Asheville area.
This was probably the worst rv park we have ever stayed at from its hard to get to location to lack of any support. They do NOT answer the phone at all and do NOT return any phone calls. I had an emergency with the RV and left messages driving to them and while I was there. 9 months later and still no return call. No office on site, bad signage, next to highway and homeless.
We arrived to our “locked-in” site and found that a run down, cluttered trailer would be our front yard (about 15 feet away). I immediately went into the |“office” and asked to be moved from my “locked-in” site. There was no way to look at the site prior to booking and it seemed to be the only one available when booking. Booking is done on line and communication from them is via e-mail only. They do not answer the phone and advise that if you e-mail, it will be answered in 24 hours. We did get changed to a different, and more pleasant site. The grass had been mowed a while back and it was mowed again on our 2nd day; however, weeds around our pad were knee high. The river bank, if you have a river front site, it not kept cleared at all so unless you are tall or have a Class A, you can’t see the river. There is no river access that we found. The place is a disappointment for sure for the price. It’s one redeeming quality is the wild-life. A mother rabbit and her three babies were homed in the yard right beside of our concrete pad and they were fun to watch. We were told there is a tame ground-hog that visits and can be hand fed. We have not seen him yet. ||The directions that we were given to get into the park were accurate. You cannot make the right turn into the park from the highway. You MUST go down the road and make the u-turn, then come back from that angle.||The noise from the interstate right above our site was LOUD. Hard to sleep when you think that an automobile may veer off the interstate and land on your rv as you sleep.||The public walkway/skateway/bicycle trail goes right through the park. Only registered guests are allowed to use the locked restroom/bath house and it was reasonably clean and the water hot. ||It was close to the Biltmore so that was a plus. There is a rental nearby for paddle boards, kayaks, canoes, but seriously the river is so muddy that I can’t imagine anyone would want to do those activities. The steps down to the river has so much vegetation growing on both sides of the narrow stairway that we would not go down. ||If you want to visit the Biltmore and don’t care much for amenities or lovely landscaping, this could be a good stop for you.
