Davidson River

It is so hard to get reservations at davidson river campground because all the sites get reserved but every time I go there half the campers don't show up.

Spacious sites. Great trout fishing and hiking trails.

We loved staying here. The campsites were large and relatively flat. We stayed at two different sites and didn't need our leveling blocks. There is a swimming area which the SO and doggo loved jumping in and playing. The dog field was an excellent place where we could run our pup without getting in anyone's way. There is a TON of hiking in the area, and mountain biking, just remember that it can be very steep so be prepared. Food and water are required no matter how far you think you are going.

This is a beautiful quiet camp ground on the edge of the Pisgah forest. It has a great mix of sites spaciosly placed in the forest, both with electric or tent camping. I will return.
Cell phone coverage is very little in the campground and Pisgah National Forest.
The only disappointment is that the shower was not clean.

The campground as a whole is very nice, with clean sites, quite a few bathroom and shower facilities, access to trails, and mostly well-spaced sites.

Site 153 in particular, though, is not one of them; it backs up against site 161 with no tree buffer, so if, like me, you end up with loud neighbors who show up late, set up their tent ten feet from yours, and stay up all night talking, your night is going to be unpleasant. It's also directly across from the trash dumpster, so your likelihood of being disturbed by people or animals is higher too. It would work better as a group site combined with 161 if you've got two groups who want to be together.

I had one bar of cell service from inside the tent; not enough for complicated tasks, but enough for basic online searches, maps, whatsapp messaging, etc., which is as much as I needed.

Campground was great. Nice sites, clean and friendly staff. Stopped at Moore’s Cove for a quick hike, then lunch at the Pisgah Inn.

Campsite 108. We walked to the river multiple times to fish and play with my 9, 7, 5 year old. Went in early Sept and it was cool enough to sleep and warm enough during the day. Close to a few waterfalls (20 min away max). Saw a black bear 2 sites over! Will be back. I know there was a lot more trails and such to explore but honestly for first timers only staying 2 nights (on the way home on a road trip) there was enough to explore right nearby.

We come to Davidson River Campground every year. It’s well taken care of, family friendly, a beautiful location by the river and convenient to Brevard as well as Sliding Rock, the Blue Ridge Parkway, waterfalls & hiking trails.

Staff was professional and friendly. Camp site was very clean as were the surrounding grounds. Bath houses were also very, very clean. I will happily return.

The staff was amazing, from the time we checked in until we checked out they gave us recommendations, helped with directions and serviced the campgrounds so they looked like a travel brochure. The area is very nice with plenty of activities to keep you busy for weeks. The location on the Davidson River is second to none and the camp sites are large enough to accommodate a large family.
