Best things to see and do in Arden
Arden is a corridor rather than a destination, which is exactly why people base here. Lake Julian is its own genuine draw, and everything else worth a morning sits within fifteen minutes on the same road. Four of the five below are outside Arden proper and are labelled that way, because the boundary here confuses even local listings.
Picking an RV for an Arden base
Arden works as a base because the roads are wide and the pitches are close, so unit size matters less here than almost anywhere in this batch. A Class C motorhome covers a family week comfortably. A Class B motorhome makes the run into downtown Asheville and back painless, which is the main reason people stay south of the city. A Class A motorhome suits a long settled stay. The large bunkhouse travel trailer gives the children a room of their own. Delivery is available across the area if you would rather not drive. Availability depends on the individual RV and your travel dates, and pricing varies by RV class, season and rental length. View available RVs or Contact the Asheville Camper Rentals team.
