Bobarosa Saloon

"Great location next to the water. We sat outside with my 2 pups on a beautiful day. Service was fantastic! Loved the shrimp and spicy sweet sauce!"

"I have been motorcycling this area of the country for more than 30 years and I love to camp especially if it's motorcycle oriented, when my favorite campground closed two years ago Blue ridge motorcycle campground due to a flood then I have been exploring to find a new place for me and my buddies, for years I rode by this place thinking it's just a biker bar but upon reading from other motorcyclist posts then I thought I would give it a try. I love the area plenty of riding in all directions and the French broad river right beside us all good. The owners and their employees were all very nice and accommodating, the food was really great and the beer is cold along with the live music and other activities then it almost is perfect but I said almost, now for the bad. The tent camping area is located a pretty long way from the bathroom and showers so be prepared for a walk also be prepared for noise from highway 25 it's an all night thing, along with two trains a night on the railroad tracks running beside the river so be prepared for noise it's not a deal breaker because nothing can be done about those, now for the really bad it's the bathroom and shower house that killed an otherwise good experience, they have a stench that will stay with you for a long time and it was a deal killer for some of my group. I don't know if it was a lack of traps on the plumbing or if it was the water itself but it's a very strong rotten egg Sulphur type of smell that will make you physically sick. I hope that the owners read this and not be to upset for the constructive criticism in hopes that they can make improvements, they are so close to having a great place for motorcyclist to enjoy and spend their money. I can say that I will go back because of all the good but I may consider staying somewhere else and just visiting the bar area for food and entertainment either way don't be totally discouraged by my review it's definitely worth trying and the owners have definitely worked hard to make it a motorcycle destination."

"I come through here intentionally every year as I really enjoy going there. I normally tent camp, but they have cabins, RV, etc. They have food,drink,music and the French Broad. The staff is there to serve and make you feel welcome. There are some really good roads to explore."

"Great place to camp and go out riding. The riding is spectacular. Bob Jess Rachel and all the staff made us fell welcomed and took care of us. The property along the river is gorgeous. They always have something going on, bands, games, vendors. Will be making this an annual trip."

"We had a large group camp here on a 4-day paddle trip. The location can't be beat. The service was phenomenal. The riverside bar was so fun. The campground was very well maintained, and the bathrooms were so clean. They had great, live music and good wings! Will definitely come back!"
