Gorgeous space around Bent Creek with plenty of trails to explore. According to the friends I was with, there has been significant restoration following hurricane Helene. I'd still recommend using caution and being aware of your surroundings while hiking.
Great place to stay and super clean showers/restrooms !! Super nice staffs
We had 4 people and two tents at Bent Creek 29/29. The site looked larger than it was. There were signs about 5 feet from the fire pit that said no camping beyond this point, and the road was about five feet on the other side. Even so, it was good sized for our large tents, one 9 person and one 6 person. There is a bear box on the site, too. The showers and bathroom are located in the center of each loop. Ours was about 25 feet up the path with 2 bathrooms and 2 showers. These were clean and well maintained. The sites are pack gravel with little natural. There is no place to hang hammocks. The other issue is driving stakes for the tens. You will need heavy tent stakes. We could not drive the stakes more than 3 to 4 inches. There is no water on the site, but it is close by. The staff is friendly. The fishing was non-existent. We talked to multiple people and tried a lot of baits. In three days, our group caught one bass . We saw only on other fish, a small blue gill. Don't go for the fishing. The trails are OK. Don't know if we will go back.
We love camping at Lake Powhatan! Quiet, friendly, clean restrooms, and roomy sites.
I had the pleasure of exploring after an historic snow fall, and found the Lake in truly majestic form. Among many beautiful locations in WNC, this one is one of the most accessible.
