Davidson River

Quiet campground, nice facilities, close to a town if you need anything

The place is wonderful.
Trail access right behind the camp site.
Best of all were the friendly faces of Staff.

Friendly and knowledgeable campground staff. Super close to trails -- we were mountain biking and riding black mountain from the campsite is pretty awesome.

Perfect location, clean!

Another great stay at Davidson River. Great location on the edge of Pisgah National Forest. Hiking/biking trails easily accessible right from the campground. Easy bike ride or walk into edge of town via the trail that parallels the river. Great vibe in campgrounds during fall. Employees all are very friendly, informative, and truly want everyone's stay to be the best it can be. Facilities, although dated in some areas of the grounds, are clean and functional. A lot of sites that back up to the forest received new bear boxes. Another positive. Aids in properly storing food/trash/scented items that bears/racoons may be out looking for. It's appreciated that anyone entering the grounds needs to pass through the main gate which is staffed during the days. This helps keep down the non-campers driving through just to look around. Less traffic the better. Most likely will return next fall.

One of the best trips we have had and we camp a lot. Loved the site. It was a quite site, very relaxing and close to the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Clean campground, large camping sites. Very safe.

Campground: The staff at Davidson River CG was extremely nice and helpful. Almost too nice, you know, like there's something in the water. No complaints here though, they welcomed us warmly every time we entered and offered help when needed. Campground is well maintained and close to everything you would love about Brevard. It's right on the road that leads to most waterfalls and it's still close to the main road and town.

Site 6 on Sycamore Loop: We thought this site was really great. It's easy to get into and has nice privacy on the camper door side. We arrived after dark and had absolutely no problem backing in and setting up in about 10 minutes. The site backs up right to the exercise trail and river. You can see the river from the site, but a 50' walk through the woods has you there. You can hear it as you sit around the fire. Go to the trail, turn right, and 100' down you are at the main entrance road and the head of the Art Loeb Trail. It's a great site. The bathhouse is right in the middle of the loop and, though it's only one seat and one shower, we didn't have to wait much and they were relatively clean. If we come back to Davidson River and we don't try to find a site with full hookups, site 6 on Sycamore we will look for this site.

Great spot for camping! Clean bathroom and shower! We will definitely come back in the future!

What an amazing time as always.
We loving camping at Davidson River. We were close to all kinds of hiking trails our pup and 5 year old son were able to enjoy. The paved drives make it easy to get around. Our son was confident enough to take off his training wheels!!! We’ll be back soon!!!
