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!

Most campsites are generous, level, and near a hike and/a stream. The area is scenic with ample nature activities without leaving the campground. I found the staff friendly and helpful. So why not a 5 rating?The bathhouses are tolerable but definitely need to be rebuilt or completely renovated. They are old and impossible to keep looking clean. Showers are extremely uninviting. True this is a national forest and rustic is perfect but shabby isn't acceptable in a National facility.

Thankful for another camper that showed me how to use the water taps. I did not realize I had to push down to get water.

Loved it! Our site was close to the Davidson River and we heard nothing of the traffic on the 276, Pisgah Hwy. Hikes and waterfalls around, and plenty to do kept us busy. Probably our favorite in the area so far!

First time tent camping in the winter. 23 degrees and a wonderful experience with my brother. Loop bath house was clean with plenty of hot water and heated. Have been camping at the Davidson for nearly 40 years and have never been disappointed.

Awesome area to hike from. Clean and well managed. But, when camping I dont like to be able to hear and see fellow neighbors- so close; were friendly but way to close with no privacy.

Tidy campground, right next to the river - you can bring a tube, walk to the end, and float back to your campsite. Or just play in the river. Plus take the nice little hiking trail along the river, then head across the pedestrian bridge to the well-maintained trails on the other side. Def some poison ivy around. Oh, and the park attendants are extra nice - they're just thrilled about the place and about helping folks. Plus it's really close to Brevard, Slick Rock Falls, and Looking Glass Falls - great location.

I have always loved my stay here. The loop we were on was exceptional. My best experience thus far. The host were so kind and the bathrooms were kept clean
