Davidson River Campground: Temporary Closure for Renovations
Davidson River Campground — one of Pisgah National Forest’s most popular destinations — will be closed from November 2025 through May 2026 for a major renovation of its bathhouses.
This six-month project, led by the U.S. Forest Service and Naventure, is part of a broader reinvestment initiative to improve facilities and ensure an enhanced, sustainable visitor experience.
Davidson River is anticipated to reopen in May 2026 with upgraded facilities that reflect a continued commitment to stewardship, visitor comfort, and the long-term care of our public lands.
We look forward to welcoming you back to a refreshed Davidson River Campground next spring.
During the Closure
For safety, the campground will remain closed throughout construction. Alternative camping options include:
Group campsites (self-serve): Cove Creek Upper & Lower, Kuykendall, and White Pine South
