This is my home area campground. It was a great experience staying there for a week. I fly fish and the Davidson River is a tough trout stream in the wild trout sections. The campground is right beside the river. I could walk the dog every morning and check out the river to plan the day's fishing. The staff was so nice every day working to make my stay fun, informed, and welcoming. I will book this place again.

The park is beautiful and clean. The campsites are ample and private. The bath house is small. Only one toilet and one shower for the loop is inadequate. Water temperature was warm.

Overall, the campground was ok. We appreciated the size and the sites were nicely spaced.What was not ok were 2 things:- Lack of wi-fi - it is not expensive to put up hot spots. As close as we were to Brevard, it was surprising that the internet was so hard to access.- Bathrooms - the fixtures made it nearly impossible to shower, and a bench and hooks/shelves would be easy to install. The only good thing was they were heated.However, the staff was friendly and the proximity to the river was great!

Always a favorite and have been going here for 30 years! The camp host on our loop Sycamore were great. Very helpful. We were there mid week so there were not many campers which was nice.

Brian and staff were great. Good location. Brian went the extra mile for us. We encountered a flat on one of the tires on the trailer. He told us were to go to have it fixed. In addition, he had to assist with remounting the tire on the spare tire fixture. It would not go for me. I could not make it work. Otherwise, not sure what we would have done. Especially, since, this was the start of a trip to Maine. We really thought Brian was an angel for us.

Davidson river is a great campground. Lots of hiking available, clean bathrooms and the Hosts were excellent. I would recommend it for tent camping or RV camping.

Relaxing and enjoyable time. I will say that all the cut down tress laying around has really degraded the campground. If they had to be cut down OK, but why leave them there to muck the environment. It would be much better if they were removed. I don't think any campers are going to get out their chain saw to cut them up for firewood.
