There are great campgrounds, and then there are GREAT campgrounds. Mama Gertie’s Hideaway was a GREAT campground. This North Carolina gem is located in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina and it’s a real beauty.
Our oldest said it was probably his favorite campground we have been to yet – and we have been to many. They are conveniently located near many local recreational options, right at the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This campground features full hookup RV sites for motorhomes, trailers, 5th wheels and sites for pop-up, tent camping and cabin rentals. Their bathhouses are spotless which is a huge plus for us since we don’t use our toilets in our rig and are easily accessible. The laundry areas are very clean as well.
Close to all of the Asheville attractions and restaurants, Mama Gertie’s is a great weekend getaway or a week long vacation stop for you and your family. We loved visiting The Biltmore and eating at a lot of fun, local restaurants, but the views from our campsite were the best. We were on campsite #37 but also loved 30, 31, 35, and 36. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring/pit. Firewood and ice are easily available and can be delivered to your campsite straight from the main camp store. The staff at Mama Gertie’s is so helpful and gives you an escort to your campsite no matter where your site is located.
Things you must see/do while in the Asheville area:
- The Biltmore
- Visit the Asheville Farmer’s Market
- Sliding Rock
- Western North Carolina Nature Center and Wildlife Park
- Visit a few of these quirky museums
- The Antique Tobacco Barn – my favorite antique place in Asheville!
- The Appalachian Mural Trail
- Visit the cute little town of Black Mountain
- Drive & make stops along The Blue Ridge Parkway
- Visit The Botanical Gardens at Asheville
- Eat at Vinnie’s Neighborhood Italian if you like Italian food. This restaurant has a fun atmosphere and the food is some of the best Italian we have ever had. We went twice on this trip.
We would give Mama Gertie’s a 2 thumbs up and will definitely return! If you’re looking for a few camping necessities and must have’s, I’ve linked a few HERE. Also, reach out to me and follow our camping adventures over on Instagram. You can see our other camping posts HERE.
