About Davenport Campground

Davenport Campground was one of the first Forest Service campgrounds, and is near the now-abandoned Squirrel Creek Campground, the very first Forest Service campground in the country. In 2010, Davenport was rebuilt to evoke the original 1920s design. Adirondack shelters and a common cooking shelter with stone fireplaces were built and old-style log picnic tables add to the historic character of this campground. The campground offers access to an array of hiking, mountain biking, motorcycle and off-road vehicle trails.

We were evacuated on our first day, but hoping to return if the camp ground was unharmed.

I like this campsite, away from roads and quiet with some nice hikes around.

Site 3 is too small. Won't fit a 6 person tent and a canopy.
They have a too varied size of sites. Some are too big and some are too small like mine.

The person who came and advised us what to do was very nervous with us. Every time we went to the toilet she told us what to do. It's a bit excessive, we all understand and we have to be honest and polite, but this is not a school to constantly explain the rules to us, thank you for understanding.
