Perfect campsite for Asheville
Phil was very accommodating, and the camping is perfect! Beautiful meadows, great little creek for swimming in, wide open spaces all to yourself, and it's very convenient to a ton of sightseeing things to do.
Can't ask for much more.
This one made our road trip.

The Forks #4
Camping on the farm on Mills River
We stayed at site #4 at the confluence of the rivers. The site is an open field, and it’s a long way to the Porta potty or composting toilet, so be prepared for that. There is no running water, but they provide big gallons of water. The driveway into the campsite area can be a little tricky, but we got a big camping van and another vehicle with a trailer into the site, so just be careful and go slow as you drive in to the campsite. It is a beautiful, peaceful place. Our favorite part was putting into the river right at our campsite and floating down to the Mills River Town Park. (And Mills River Brewing is just down the road from the park, offering crafted beer, live music, and food.) It’s about a 3 to 4 hour float when the water is low. We had a wonderful time! That stretch of river is peaceful and beautiful. We also spent a day hiking at Dupont Recreational Forest, which is about a 20-30 minute drive away.
I would recommend this site to experienced campers looking for a more rustic, quiet experience. And the host, Phil, is very responsive to questions.

Great Camp!
Phil's property was great! the large field had plenty of space for cars, camp and for kids to play! Our campsite had a fire ring W/ benches and stools, picnic table, popup canopy. The field was freshly mowed and dry/flat(Great for tents and cars). Phil was very welcoming.

Meadow #3
I had a very peaceful stay at the Confluence! I had the place to myself and it was a great base camp to explore Pisgah National Forest. The site had firewood, a clean cozy bathroom with camp toilets, a few jugs of water, some solar lights, and a little table with an umbrella.
Phil was very kind and helpful and even checked in on me the second night to make sure I was doing ok and had enough water. I felt very safe and comfortable there as a solo female traveler!

Upper Meadow
I think campsite 1 In the upper meadow seemed like the best campsite on the property. It was mostly private with close access to the river.

Upper meadow #1
the confluence was wonderful! the site was beautiful, had all the amenities you could want and was situated right on the river with our very own access. Phil was a great host and even pointed us in the direction of some giant salamanders near his property (the purpose of our trip to NC). 10/10 would certainly come stay again
