We are beginner campers and had a great experience here for a long weekend camping trip.  We had a large double site with 2 tent pads and enough room for our friend's RV.  The campground is right on the Davidson River with a number of hiking & biking trail heads and plenty of spots to get into the river for tubing, fishing and swimming either within or just outside of the camp grounds.  The sites are spread out just enough to give you some privacy but close to make a quick trip to your neighbor in case you forgot something or need some help. :) There are clean bathrooms w/showers and helpful hosts on each loop. During our visit, our hosts spent the good part of one morning chasing a bear away due to someone leaving trash on their site.  It's also within 1/2 hour drive to a number of water falls and hiking trails of all levels (but mostly easy - moderate) in the Pisgah National Forest + plenty more if you drive further.  I would definitely come back here but I heard from the hosts on our loop that it books up quickly.  We got lucky booking at the last minute.
