Davidson River

Large flat sites with lots of mature vegetation. Hiking trails, biking and tubing all within the campground. Very clean. Staff was super friendly. One of my favorite campgrounds to visit.

The site is convenient to the River trail, bathrooms, and water spigot. It is quite private shielded by vegetation, level, and spacious.

We recently visited Davidson River Campground for the second time. We stay in the Dogwood loop and use a site with electricity. We camped with 4 other couples. I love the loop because we were able to all be in sites close together. my only complaint , and I think this will be rectified, one bathroom on the loop was clean and the other was not. It had cobwebs all over and was obviously not well maintained. I think all the bathrooms will be renovated soon so I expect that will be taken care of in the future. There are potable water faucets all around the loop which is great for tenters and those who don't carry their own water supply. There is a lot to see and do that's pretty close by. The town of Brevard is definitly worth visiting. We have visited Pretty Place, there are many waterfalls including Sliding Rocks where you can actually slide down big boulders, Pisgah Inn that has a lovely restaurant and a fabulous view plus lots more. Young children seemed to love biking around the paved loop in the campground or visiting the river where there is a swimming hole. We are seniors and like the half price discount with our Golden Age Passport gives us. There are lots of tenters and many self-contained RVs. Many folks set up tents over the picnic tables for sheltered eating.

Had a wonderful time at Davidson River campground. Even though it rained for part of the time we were there. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back again!

The campground is great especially if you’re near the swimming area on the river or near it. You can hear the river which was a huge plus for me. Bear boxes at the campsites made it that much more fun when camping with kids because of the excitement of possibly seeing a bear. Luckily no bear encounters at camp but we did see one on the Blue Ridge Parkway! The campground is very close to a lot of the areas attractions: Looking Glass Falls, Sliding Rock, Cradle of Forestry museum and the ranger station. Conveniently located close to town but feels like you’re hours away. The staff was extremely nice and very helpful with any questions about camp or the surrounding areas.

The bathroom/bathhouse was a little rough, BUT, they’re renovating them over the winter/spring. That’s the only reason I gave 4 stars. I will definitely return next year and fully plan on giving this campground 5 stars. I absolutely recommend this campground to anyone that plans on camping in Pisgah NF and wants to be close to a lot of family friendly sights(and sites!)

Nice family campground with close bathroom facilities, hiking trail, and swimming hole. Great experience.

A wonderful get of a campground with so many fun things to do! Also staffed by friendly folks. Our favorite family camping spot!

The camp site was very clean and the staff was wonderful. Great time!

Great location central to so many of the area's wonders from DuPont state forest waterfall trails, Sliding Rock, the fishery, Cradle of the Forest up to the Blue Ridge Parkway and beyond.
Camp hosts were friendly and helpful. Very nicely maintained though the shower stalls have begun to "show their age".
Nearby Brevard has all the conveniences for camper's needs, plus the smaller town feel.

We've been here before, different loop. Enjoyed having electric this time. Thanks!
