Campfire Lodgings

The short version

Campfire Lodgings offers yurts, cabins, a larger Cliff House, RV sites, and tent sites on a 100-acre mountain property with an Asheville address. Its yurts currently list at $150 per night plus 13% tax, sleep two, and include heating and air conditioning, a gas-log fireplace, a small kitchenette, linens, and an approximately 500-square-foot deck with a gas grill and picnic table.

The crucial booking caveat is unusual: Campfire Lodgings’ own pages conflict about bathrooms. The current main yurt page lists a full private bathroom with shower. Another official yurt page says two yurts have bathrooms while another has only a dressing area. Do not assume the arrangement—confirm the exact yurt in writing before payment.

This page was independently desk-researched from Campfire Lodgings’ official site on July 19, 2026. We have not stayed there, and we have removed earlier claims that were not supported by current property information.

Campfire Lodgings prices for 2026

These are operator-published base rates, not guaranteed totals. Cleaning charges may apply to rental units, and the booking system should show the final amount for exact dates.

For a two-night yurt stay, the advertised base is $300. Adding the published 13% tax brings that to $339 before any checkout-specific fee. That makes the tax and minimum stay more useful planning information than the old $125 headline previously shown on this page.

What is inside a Campfire Lodgings yurt?

The current yurt page lists the following:

• Sleeping space for up to two people, with linens furnished.
• Cathedral-style ceiling and central dome skylight.
• Gas-log fireplace plus air conditioning and heaters.
• A small refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker.
• An approximately 500-square-foot deck with gas grill and picnic table.
• A bathroom or dressing-area arrangement that must be checked by unit.

This is a kitchenette, not a full kitchen. There is no published stovetop, oven, or dishwasher on the yurt amenity list. It works for coffee, leftovers, simple microwave food, and outdoor grilling; guests who want to cook every meal should plan around the grill or consider a cabin.

The gas fireplace and climate control make the yurt more comfortable than canvas camping, but the operator still presents it as a mountain accommodation. Pack for outdoor trips between the car, deck, and any shared facilities.

Does the yurt have a private bathroom?

Maybe—and that uncertainty should be resolved before booking.

The current primary yurt page says the units have a full bathroom with a shower and no tub. The site’s rates page also describes yurts as having a sink and shower. However, an alternate official yurt detail page says two yurts include bathrooms while another has a dressing area.

Because all three statements come from the operator, we will not choose one and pretend the conflict does not exist. Ask Campfire Lodgings to confirm:

1. The name or number of the yurt assigned to your reservation.
2. Whether its toilet, sink, and shower are private and inside the yurt.
3. If not, the walking distance and route to the bathhouse.
4. Whether the quoted rate changes by bathroom configuration.

Save the reply with the reservation. Bathroom configuration is too important to infer from a generic accommodation label.

The deck is a meaningful part of the stay

The operator advertises an approximately 500-square-foot deck for the yurts, furnished with a gas grill and picnic table. That is substantial outdoor living space for a two-person unit and helps compensate for the simpler interior kitchen.

The yurts are described as sitting among trees on the mountainside. Treat “treehouse feel” as a description of their elevated deck setting, not a claim that they are literal treehouses or completely screened from other guests. The property also operates cabins, RV sites, tent sites, and a large house, so it is a mixed campground rather than a small yurt-only resort.

Quiet hours run from 10 PM to 8 AM. Smoking and candles are prohibited inside rentals.

Wi-Fi is not guaranteed at the yurt

Earlier copy positioned Wi-Fi as a normal feature. The operator’s current yurt page is much more cautious: guests may or may not receive Wi-Fi. Another property page says Wi-Fi is available at the top of the campground.

That makes Campfire Lodgings a poor choice for a must-not-fail video meeting. Download maps, entertainment, and reservation details before arrival. If connectivity is essential, ask whether the exact yurt has recently measured service and what backup cellular coverage is available; do not rely on a general campground Wi-Fi icon.

What else is on the property?

Campfire Lodgings publishes an elevation of 2,478 feet, approximately 4.5 miles of walking paths, a catch-and-release fishing pond, a bathhouse with private bathroom stalls, and laundry facilities. Some amenities are described on the RV and tent pages, so confirm which are included for rental guests rather than assuming every campground facility is attached to the yurt.

The broader inventory makes it useful for groups who do not all want the same accommodation. Two people can take a yurt, a family can use a cabin, and RV travelers can reserve a full-hookup site. The Cliff House is a separate, much larger three-bedroom-style option with three bathrooms and space for six.

Is Campfire Lodgings close to Asheville?

The official address is 116 Appalachian Village Road, Asheville, NC 28804. The property markets itself as a gateway to Asheville and the Blue Ridge Mountains, but we do not state a fixed “15 minutes downtown” because drive time changes with route and traffic and was not supported on the current location page we checked.

Use a map with the exact date and time of travel for downtown restaurants, the Biltmore Estate, or Blue Ridge Parkway access. The mountain setting is part of the appeal, but it also means local road conditions and nighttime navigation may differ from a central hotel.

Pets, occupancy, and arrival rules

The yurts sleep no more than two and do not permit pets. Cabins and the Cliff House also publish no-pet rules, while the campground’s general pet language applies to other site types. Do not interpret a campground-wide pet rule as yurt permission.

Yurt check-in is 2 PM and check-out is 11 AM. The published minimum is two nights. Only one car per site is normally permitted; extra vehicles depend on space and may incur a fee.

These rules make the yurt most straightforward for one couple arriving in one vehicle. Larger groups should compare cabin or multi-unit availability.

Cancellation policy

The current rates-and-policies page says cancellation must occur at least 30 days before arrival and carries a $25 handling fee per site. Reservations made within 30 days of arrival are non-refundable and non-transferable. A reservation may be changed once without charge when at least 30 days’ notice is provided.

One-night reservations are non-refundable, and the property provides no refund, credit, or rain check for early departure. It may transfer a reservation when snow or a hurricane prevents access, subject to direct contact with the office.

The operator’s page has shown different notice periods in past crawls, so capture the policy displayed during your own checkout. If the reservation is important or expensive, ask the property to confirm the applicable deadline in the booking confirmation.

What review shoppers should verify

Recent Campfire Lodgings reviews are most helpful when they name the accommodation type. A review of an RV site cannot establish the bathroom or Wi-Fi experience inside a yurt. Look specifically for:

• The exact yurt name and whether its bathroom was private.
• Wi-Fi or cellular performance during a recent stay.
• Deck condition, grill availability, and privacy from other units.
• Temperature comfort in the same season you plan to visit.
• Road and arrival experience after dark or in wet weather.
• Whether checkout charges matched the published rate and tax.

We do not assign a public review score because we have not verified a complete, current cross-platform dataset. Unit-specific, date-stamped evidence is more useful than a blended campground average.

Who should book—and who should not

Book a Campfire Lodgings yurt if:

• Two people want a heated and air-conditioned mountain stay with a large deck.
• The $150 base rate and two-night minimum fit the trip.
• A small kitchenette and outdoor grill are enough for meals.
• Weak Wi-Fi is acceptable.
• The property confirms the assigned yurt’s bathroom arrangement.

Look elsewhere if:

• You need guaranteed high-speed internet.
• You are traveling with a pet or more than two people in one unit.
• You need flexible cancellation inside 30 days.
• You require a confirmed en-suite bathroom but cannot get unit-specific assurance.
• You want a full kitchen or private hot tub.

Booking checklist

Before paying, confirm the exact yurt, private-bathroom arrangement, full total with 13% tax and any cleaning fee, two-night minimum, Wi-Fi expectations, one-car rule, and cancellation deadline. Ask for written confirmation when the website’s yurt pages conflict.

Bottom line: Campfire Lodgings still makes sense as a relatively simple Asheville-area yurt option, but the value judgment depends on the assigned unit. At $150 plus tax, the deck, climate control, fireplace, and kitchenette are appealing. The bathroom conflict and uncertain Wi-Fi are not minor footnotes—they are the two questions to settle first.
