We saw this place on the web and thought it looked great but be warned that the website for this place is a JOKE! I wish I would have read the reviews here before we decided to stay at the French Broad Campground. The first thing we noticed as we drove into the campground was that there were people living... more

Very Deceiving ad on the internet. Sites are right up against each other, the ONE bathroom is not enough for the people they jam into here and there are 'unsavory' looking characters who apparently live here in run-down looking cabins and trailers. Loud traffic and train across river. Shower is disgusting. It would be very easy to make this place... more

My significant other and I stayed at this campsite for three nights in July 07 while we were in town to see the Smashing Pumpkins play at the Orange Peel. Now, let me begin this review by saying that our stay was supposed to be four nights, but the first night we arrived late (it was already dark) and despite... more

The photos on the internet are beautiful indeed, but what they do not show you is that the campsites are directly off a very busy and well traveled road. A road that is used primarily by many, many, many 18 wheel tractor trailers, all night. I could have lived with that, but it was the train track that is directly... more

We stayed in a cabin at the French Broad River Campground. The river was beautiful and the location nice and reasonably convenient. The cabin was functional and had heat, air, and a small shower, but needed some attention as well. A fresh coat of paint would have done wonders, as would a good cleaning. A few items such as coat... more
