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.

Gorgeous area! Campground was far into the park so felt remote. However, the campsites are very, very close to each other, so that did not feel remote. Especially when your neighbors are playing loud music late into the night....so much for enjoying the silence and nature that camping is supposed to bring.

Love the easy access to trails from the campground-no need to drive away. Also loved the access to the lake in the park. Beautiful!
