NO CANCELLATIONS ALLOWED. We reserved for 5 nights and they took the entire sum upfront, $237. We had to cancel and they offered us NO refund and NO opportunity to change our reservation to a later date. No exceptions. This is despicable during a global pandemic when even airlines are more lenient and understanding of change in plans.

Great camp ground whether you RV or stay in one of the cabins or yurts. Very quiet and well maintained and staff are friendly and helpful

We just stayed here 2 nights. The campground is clean and well maintained. Laundry and bath house were also clean. Close to Black Mountain and Asheville. Very quiet campground.

Had a MORE than GREAT experience here this past Labor Day weekend :) Originally, I booked a site to just set up my tent out of the bed of my truck. Woke up from a nap after my 7-hour drive to a text from the campground saying that they were concerned about some heavy storms rolling in both Saturday and Sunday night so they upgraded me to one of their brand new safari tent sites. I really appreciated their customer service and safety concerns, especially coming from a solo female traveler. The bathrooms/showers were clean at all times. Wifi was a little hit and miss, but I had zero issues with cell service. I would definitely recommend this site to anyone and would love to stay here again.

Yes, but I believe the sites near the stream do not have sewage hook up...Mama's is one of the nicest campgrounds we've ever been to.

Sandra, we are unable to accommodate car camping or tents at this campground. I believe other campgrounds in the area allow it.

Do they allow monthly camper rental?

We have monthly rates in our off season which is November 1 to March 1. Throughout the rest of the year, the maximum stay is ten nights.

They have a reservation system. Call and ask about the dates you want. Very nice place to stay at a fare price. Enjoy!!!!!

Would just like to look around and hike is that possible?

There aren't really any trails or activities at Moma Gertie's, it isn't like a start park at all but with that said it is one of the nicest campgrounds I've ever seen or stayed at. We first stayed there last fall and liked Moma Gertie's so much that we booked our return stay for this October before we left. It's better as a base camp to explore the beauty of the surrounding areas.

We loved Mama Gerties. Our site was at the top of the campground beautiful view just make sure your tow vehicle has enough power to pull up your trailer. We did but it's still steep. All of the sites seems nice.
