We enjoyed the campground, although the section we were in had the sites a little close together and very little screening between them. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Always a great experience - friendly staff, great river, great rates. $18 for most sites, $20 for sites on river. Only reason not a 10 is some staff use leaf blowers to clean up. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a review of the campground and Items will be rated on a scale of 1 - 10 with 10 being the Best. Staff = 8 We've read a few posts on the Internet that campers thought the staff at Davidson River was rather rude. I can not agree with that statement at all. The staff was really great. You have staff members in every loop of the campground and they are pretty friendly. Camp Sites = 10 These campsites are wonderful. Because of the amount of people we had in our party we got a double site but I spent a lot of time looking at other single campsites. Yes, they are close together but they are separated very nicely by trees, bushes, brush so it does not feel like you are on top of each other. All of the campsites looked nice and level with easy access for RVs of all sizes as well as tents and other makeshift shelters. Each loop has 2 bathrooms, one on each end. Each campsite also has a fire ring and heavy-duty picnic table in addition to crush and run for drainage and elevated tent/camper pads with crush and run. Bathrooms = 8 There are two bathrooms to every loop. Each loop has about 25 sites in it (approximately??). The bathrooms were cleaned daily and were pretty nice. I never had a cold shower though some in our party stated showers were lukewarm. Activities = 10 Davidson River Campground is smack in the middle of everything. This is an ideal campground for a family or for singles that like to get out and be active. For families they have the River. This is a great river that allows for swimming, fishing and tubing. Overall = 9 This really is an excellent campground at a primo location. You're within minutes of everything and have access to a grocery mart and a Walmart. Situated right in the Mountains you get awesome. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We had a great time here. Lots to do; hiking, fishing, sight seeing, relaxing. Campground is in excellent condition and very well maintained. When we arrived at our site, it looked as if no one have ever camped there. The gravel was raked, no liter, and the fire pit was clean. I later noticed the host in our loop would always "clean up" the campsite after someone checked out. The lack of hookups is not a factor for us, in fact it makes the camping experience a bit more "authentic". I would estimate that half the campers were in tents and the rest evenly divided between popups, TTs, and motorhomes. Campground is heavily wooded with lots of shade. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is a very nice NFS park, even without hookups. The sites are mostly widely spaced and large. The people, guests and staff, are very pleasant, and the scenery in the area is great. There are a few hookup sites available at times when host sites are not being used by staff members. Part of the campground remains open year round. There are lots of things to do in the area, too. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice forest service park We camped here in a camper.
Awesome!!! This place is very small, very quiet. It was awarded Best Campground for Nature Lovers by some magazine. The absolute cleanest bathhouse ever. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We will be back soon. They also have great cabins--my sister stayed in their 3 bedroom one--very clean and cozy. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
