Davidson River Recreation Area offers camping and outdoor activities for the whole family, with several loops of shaded campsites and access to hiking trails, fishing spots and waterfalls within Pisgah National Forest. It lies just four miles west of the town of Brevard and less than an hour from the city of Asheville, and is open year-round. Campsites are organized into eight loops and some are adjacent to the water. Sites are mostly shaded and equipped with picnic tables, tent pads, lantern posts and campfire rings with grills, and each loop has hot showers and restrooms with flush toilets. Campers can purchase ice and firewood on-site and rent bikes nearby. The campground sits at an elevation of 2,150 feet. The surrounding land boasts mile-high peaks, cascading waterfalls and slopes thickly forested with hardwoods and conifers; the group camping area is adjacent to the beautiful Davidson River. The forest is known for its hiking trails, several of which are near the campground. Hikers can challenge themselves with the 12.3-mile Art Loeb Trail, the 3.7-mile North Slope Trail or a 1.5-mile walking trail. The Davidson River offers excellent trout fishing, plus tubing and swimming, which are kid-friendly favorite activities. Educational programs run in summer and fall. Sliding Rock, Looking Glass Falls and the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway are among the more popular nearby sites. The small town of Brevard offers various amenities and services, and visitors can take a trip to Asheville to visit art galleries, shops and restaurants.
