We stayed here for a few nights during the Thanksgiving holiday. The campsite is conveniently located for those who are interested in exploring Asheville. Yes, it is near the highway, which means there is noise - you are in the city. It was not a surprise to us that there would be some noise. The campground itself is clean, quiet and has cement pads which was a huge plus. We also enjoyed the easy and convenient access to the walking trail as we had our two dogs with us. We would definitely stay again!
