Growing up in Asheville, I have been going to Davidson river campground since I was a little girl. It was my family’s weekend getaway. This campground is where I learned to ride a bike without training wheels, conquer river rapid while floating on a tube, and ate ice cream every night for dinner. Some of my fondest memories are at this place.

Recently, I traveled back to the campground with a good friend of mine and all of the memories of camping as a child came back. You have the town of brevard so close that you can go grab a beer or a nice meal if need be. You have the start of the Art Leob trail which is in my opinion one of the most beautiful trails In the area. And also the hub bike shop which has awesome food and good for hiking! It was as though I never left and frankly after that weekend, never wanted to leave again. It is the best campground in N.C.!

excellent location in the Pisgah Mointains!

tubing and hiking opportunities abound.

Waterfalls everywhere!

hreat for families!

Campsites vary from primitive to group sites with restrooms and pavilions. No showers or services in Pisgah National Forest.

Known for trout fishing and hiking trails for all levels. Mountain streams offer fun for kids and kid-wannabes. There are equestrian trails and a riding stable nearby. Horse camping is popular.

This is a good campground if you are trying to enjoy the Pisgah National Forest. This area has become over run with tourists and the "free" campsites have mostly been comandeered by squatters who rotate from site to site every 14 days. The campground has a great river to swim in and is close to Brevard and Asheville but reservations are recommended. This place is packed most all of the summer now so you don't want to show up without a spot.

Campsites are shaded and roomy. It is within 2 miles of stores in the Brevard Area. Wood is available at the campground. There is a parking place for cell phone reception but not good reception, This is a bear habitat. There are showers and bathrooms. Reservations are good to have as it fills up quickly. It is very well kept. Fishing, swimming and tubing.

Right on the river and on a rec path and bike trail. Restaurants and shops nearby. It rained every afternoon but you just have to plan for it. Great sites with trees and plenary of room. Lots of bath houses. Very few sites have electricity and you need to make sure you are in an area you can use your generator during the day ( if that applies).

white squirrels are famous here!

Bevard is home to 100 waterfalls! Some are roadside and others are a short hike away. Absolutely gorgeous!

Davidson River was our first excursion with Ilsa @ilsasadventures. She was just a pup. The grounds were well maintained. Families enjoyed the river with a swimming hole & tubing close by. Love the waterfalls within short distance drive. Brevard, and Asheville not too far away.

Campground is located on the river. Not as private as other campgrounds I've been to. There was an exercise trail between my site and the river that was heavily used. Definitely fills up with families on the weekend. Location in Transylvania County is great because of the proximity to a ton of waterfalls.

The sites in this campground are all wooded. There is a trail that runs adjacent to the river. So, you can't camp directly on the river. However, there are sites right next to the trail.

Great location!!! Close to downtown Asheville and so many waterfall hikes all around! Our site was large, wooded, private and on the river. The campsite hosts were very helpful and everyone was so friendly! Highly recommend this campground!

Many sites available. Close to falls. Tucked away next to the river. Nice community feel

What a beautiful and peaceful area. Amazing hiking, biking and what a gorgeous river! Brevard is close by and has great walking for restaurant, shops, coffee, etc.

Located right inside Pisgah National forest this campground is perfectly set for all adventures. If you’re looking to see the sights of the forest and take a drive the scenic parkway then youve come to the right campground

on the other hand if you’re thinking of riding the mtb trails you’re in luck. They start literally across the davidson river from the campground. Bike shops, coffe and supermarkets all within

We traveled from Florida to Brevard to hike and camp. It was a 7 hour car trip. If we had done our normal hammock camping, the campsite they put us in would have not worked for us.

I’ve stayed here numerous times. Great place and great MtB trails super close

Davisdon campground is very popular so it's near impossible to get a reservation for the weekend unless you plan far ahead. It's popular for good reason. It's within 5 minutes of a grocery and restaurants, but feels like you're pretty remote. You're close to tube rentals and the campground is on the river. You will not find privacy here, the campground is massive. The river is not quite close enough for young kids to play unsupervised, but it is close enough to easily access. It would be a great place for families with older kids as the roads are great for biking around and the swimming holes are close.

This is a POPULAR spot in the summer, and why not? It's beautiful and close to several incredible destinations. You can take a short hike up John Rock for a wonderful few, head down the road a bit for a horse back trail ride, slide down the popular sliding rock (just a short drive down the road) or spend the day climbing at Looking Glass in the amazing Pisgah ranger district. If you're up for a little bit further of a drive head on up to the Blue Ridge Parkway.

There is a cool fish hatchery with a nice little natural history museum/display and friendly staff to help answer questions. There are flush toilets available at the fish hatchery as well.

If you don't mind the crowds then this is a great spot to spend a few nights!

This place has everything...wireless, showers, bike path, tennis courts and horse stables down the road. Lots to do here on sliding rock, chasing waterfalls, hiking, and fishing. Be prepared for many cyclists on the road. There is a free primitive campground area on the road the horse stables are on if you are into that. This campground does fill up quickly, it's a beautiful area and only a few miles from Brevard.

Enjoyed a winter camping trip to this peaceful area

Picked up a SylvanSport GO just around the corner and they suggested this spot. And what a good spot! Just walking around the campground is nice, but there's tons to do nearby too!

Great camping spot! We were camping close to the large swimming area, so, you could swim, fish, or just put your feet in. You are also close to Brevard. You can scoot into town to grab supplies or whatever you needed to do. Close by is Sliding Rock and for those into beers, Oskar Blues is not too far as well.

Great campground with shady sites that are not too close together. The onsite swimming hole and tubing was a major plus with our 6 yr old son. Great location in the Pisgah Forest and also close to Dupont Forest. We will definitely return.
