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.

Reserved accessible site with Adirondack shelter. Long walk from parking area and another site was just a few feet away, way too close..

Campsite 4 is NOT wheelchair accessible in any way. In fact, it's about the least accessible site out of all of them; featuring an entire flight of stairs and slippery bridge to get down to the site. Campsite 6's tent pad is literally right in the middle of a central path, so prepare to have neighbors tripping over your guylines and trampling your tarps
for the entire stay. Otherwise it's a decent campground with easy access to some great trails.

Beautifully out of the way spot, off the main road and onto dirt road in a nice valley. Right near Bishops Castle which is a very intriguing architectural wonder. One thing was we did not realized that tent only meant walking into the tent site. Our experience with tent only meant that the site was apart from RV and camper areas but had a parking spot at the tent site. Not a problem in the end but you might need to know this for your planning. Great camp hosts!
