@Charlotte33784 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #32

We love Davidson River! This site is quietly tucked on the end of the White Oak Loop. Would highly recommend!

@AndreaS6053955 · Camped on Jul 19, 2025 at Campsite #17

Fantastic spot, generous shade and close to facilities. Convenient walk to the river as well. Appreciated the new food locker on the site!

We couldn't find a good spot for fishing but my family had a blast.

@GeorgeF2922574 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #124

One of the best campsites in Western North Carolina. Highly recommend

@DavidL8659169 · Camped on Jul 16, 2025 at Campsite #54

Sites are clean and have ample space between others for adequate privacy. Staff is super friendly and eager to share local knowledge. We highly recommend.

@WilliamA169700 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #101

Davidson River Campground is a well-run facility with many amenities for families. Good hiking trails, great fishing, and a fun river to float.

@TravisW8633131 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #56

The park staff was very friendly and we had a great time!

@JonathanN71124 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #52

Beautiful place as always.

@MaxineH90BC7BF · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #100

Would love to know how to reserve full hook up spots. We saw two different tent campers using the full hook up spots!

@MelissaB359768 · Camped on Jul 1, 2025 at Campsite #9

Very clean campsite, restrooms, and friendly staff as we arrived, asked questions and departed. Great experience

@RobertB6182770 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #98

Awesome spot hiking available, well maintained and close to Brevard highly recommend

@RachelH3398655 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #50

Davidson River is wonderful! Highly recommend. Everyone drives slowly, respecting the kids at play great sense of community! The staff is helpful and kind. And of course the river is beautiful and the sites well maintained!

@KathleenO53921 · Camped on Jun 28, 2025 at Campsite #86

I thought the Davidson River campground to be just right! I liked the spacing of the parking and tenting spots, liked the layout in a loop so kids can ride their bikes, liked being around so many families, felt safe, mostly quiet and location of restrooms.

@CeceliaM699255 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #51

Only one toilet per bathroom was open on our loop. I realize they are updating the bathrooms for next year but it would have been nice if they could have left the two toilets open in the women's restrooms. That is too many people for one toilet. Otherwise we love it here!

@JerryJ110165ED · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #138

We have had a bad weather and could not built our tent the first day. Second day was OK. Only complaints on the rest room/shower close to site 138,

@SteveA2172208 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #100

great private sites

@MorrisM9EA0121 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #23

Love coming there. Why is ampitheater not being repaired & used. I always enjoyed programs they used to have there. Been coming to DR for 50 years. Always enjoy & plan to continue coming to DR for many years to come

@BrockC87849F17 · Camped on Jun 21, 2025 at Campsite #65

We love this campground and book at least once a year

@AndreaH7314496 · Camped on Jun 21, 2025 at Campsite #113

This campground is excellent. Ive stayed here at least a dozen times. The facility is in excellent condition. The staff is friendly. Most of all sites are covered in tree canopy.

@JenniferA28334 · Camped on Jun 18, 2025 at Campsite #30

This is one of our most favorite campgrounds!

@ErinP5541950 · Camped on Jun 18, 2025 at Campsite #33

Absolutely magical place with birds serenading your morning coffee and fireflies winking you to sleep. Loved it here and will return.

@DorotheaSC798F · Camped on Jun 18, 2025 at Campsite #94

Our check-in was flawless and the gate keeper was cheerful and welcoming. We had a very good campsite on Laurel Loop #94. It was close to the bathroom and had lots of shrubbery between it and the next campsite for privacy. The gravel tentpad with cement border was what we like for our tent in case of rain. There was lots of birds singing at dawn. We didn't do any tubing this time, but we have before and it is very convenient to do so from the campground. It was prety warm so we didn't get a bundle of wood for $10, and we went into Brevard for more ice. We enjoyed walking at the trail across the road at the visitor center, as well as hiking at Pink Beds.

@CoraSE7EEAD1B5 · Camped on Jun 16, 2025 at Campsite #134

We have been going to Davidson river campground for years. Love it there! This year was no different, had a wonderful time and plan on going back again!

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
