We go this campground a few times a year and love it. Thankfully they are closing for a much needed bathroom overall. They were the only negative.

Been going to Davidson River for more than 30 years. It is our favorite campsite! Have great memories here with our children. Always feels like we are coming home. Love it!!

Great sites, location, clean bathrooms, some phone signal, but the dog barking is getting much worse. No enforcement. Sad.
@WilliamF458474 · Camped on Oct 13, 2025 at Campsite #152
We have stayed over 6 times here and usually have great experiences. Not as much this time unfortunately. The site had heavy thorn vines as you exit your vehicle that I had to cut away. Back into the site with my camper took numerous attempts due to the protective holders around the leaking water pipe, thus it is not an easy site to back in a trailer. Its great to hear the restrooms are being upgraded, however they need more electrical sites established. We never are able to reserve one and that has caused me to seek alternative facilities in the future.

Staff were excellent and went out of their way to help.

We have been coming to this campground for45 years. It has changed over the years but it still is our go to spot for camping in the mountains. Looking forward to the bathroom upgrades

Amazing time. Campground was perfect. Guests were all courteous. Felt like no one was around.
@PeggyK0F75BD72 · Camped on Oct 12, 2025 at Campsite #54
This was my second time staying at Davidson River Campground. It is a beautiful area, with lots of trails both within and directly from the campground. Well maintained roads, clean bathrooms and a very friendly staff.
@GlennG4315917 · Camped on Oct 12, 2025 at Campsite #92
Campground is always clean and well run. Bathrooms are getting updated which should improve the overall experience.
@KayleeB08EB769 · Camped on Oct 12, 2025 at Campsite #33
The campground is nothing short from exceptional. I do wish the restrooms and showers were upgraded a little bit and maintained a bit better. It was a little contradictory to be told that felling trees would be illegal, yet the permanent campers were allowed to do so?
@MarkB1441206 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #133
This is one of our favorite campgrounds. Most sites are good sized and not right on top of others. Several are very private also which we sure appreciate. Roads are in good shape and the fact that they are remodeling every restroom facility is only going to make this park better. This particular site is very secluded and surrounded by trees. So much so that when the leaves are on the trees you cant see another site.
@GrantG8892133 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #137
Beautiful campground with lots to do within 30 mins or less. There is also plenty to explore on the campground with trails, wooded areas, and the open field. We were in 137 roadside, which we loved.

Wonderful campground. Clean and well organized. Will definitely return

The secret is out, this place was packed this time. Looking forward to seeing the coming improvements.
@ThomasC6214588 · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #110
We had a great time at the campground and on the river in early October. Campsite was excellent and the staff was very friendly. We will make another trip in the future.

All staff are very polite and knowledgable. Great stay!
@MatthewG245698 · Camped on Sep 29, 2025 at Campsite #125
Great park to get back to natire with only a short drove from civilization. Shortly after entering the park the cell phone signal goes away. Cseeing the night sky through the trees was spectacular. Cant wait to see the campground after the upgrades are complete.

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.

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.
