Was hoping to camp in the National Park during my Asheville visit, but all the spots were reserved. Ended up being a blessing because I got to stay here for about the same price! About 15 min from downtown and tons of breweries while also being in a quiet neighborhood. Was on a solo trip and felt totally comfortable here.
I would recommend checking the place out before it gets dark because it is difficult to find your spot at night. They do have lights on the ground and hanging lights though.
*Do not stay in this shelter if there is rain in the forecast, I slept in my car because it sounded like a hailstorm.
Had one very warm/hot shower and one “refreshing” shower
