East Davis Campground

The campground was very nice and well kept. Bathrooms were always clean and the garbage cans were empty the two times that we needed to utilize them. The campground host, that actually resides at Crescent Lake, was very polite and respectful. The MAJOR gripe I have isn't about the contractor caring for the campground, but the IDIOT'S from the Forest circus that chose to be talked into buying, (I wonder what tax payers had to pay for this) and installing the solar water supply!
Whomever authorized this should be FIRED! They obviously don't have a clue what they're doing. To operate it you have to hold a button down for a minute and than you only get MAYBE a pint of water a minute! I'd call it a joke but there's nothing funny about it. Rip those things out and put the ol' reliable pump jacks back in. If the responsible party is reading this, get in touch with me. I have some beautiful beachfront property in Kansas that I'll sell you....cheap.

One and 1/2 days were peaceful, reading and sitting by the creek, and watching the anglers (all quiet forms of recreation. One hot temperature day, a family of at least 6 kids moved in to the day-use area and the kids screamed up and down most of the creek for about 5 hours (not just loud voices, continuous screams). One angler left with an abrupt burst of speed and his truck (covered our campsite in dust) and then the couple in the campsite next to us chose to leave a day early because of the continuous screaming in front of their campsite (#14). Obviously conflicting interests. We talked about the situation with the woman you are contracting with and the couple who left did also. Major negative impact. I’ll consider E. Davis Lake after Labor Day when school is back in session. It is a beautiful spot.

The campground is lovely as always , however right after we pulled in they came and posted no campfires ! This is a well developed campground and this early in summer it’s a bit ridiculous to not allow fires in the maintained fire pits . We left a day early because of this . None of the other local counties had restrictions in place yet .

We usually go there several times a year but not this year. They are still closed due too over 100 tree being down ??

Biting red ants everywhere by the thousands. I've visited there numerous times, and the ants are always present. Other than that, nice campground. The gravel road to it could certainly be improved; it is very washboardy.

We enjoyed playing at the river, riding bikes on the campground road, and stargazing.

So much wildlife this time of year that we felt like we were in Heaven! Wish it was a first come first serve campground as we only have it once this year. Thanks for keeping the place more in it's natural form without light pollution!

We love camping by the creek. The creek and lake were super high this year. We paddled down the creek on our paddle boards from our camp site all the way to the lake. and then back to the boat ramp and it was easy because the current was easier to go against with the high water. we've never been able to paddle all the way out to the lake before. East Davis lake is one of our favorite campgrounds. its usually pretty quiet, you can hear birds, enjoy the chipmunk antics and even see a bald eagle if your lucky, which we were. We can drive to some nice hikes, our favorite is Fall river, or into La Pine for forgotten supplies. We have a camper so we don't have to use the pit toilets (sorry for all of you who don't). The pit toilets are the only minus.
This year, our reservation was not marked on our campsite and was not a problem for us, but our neighbor's reservation also was not marked, and someone was in one of their campsites. There was a bit of discussion and then the people in their campsite left. Whoever is in charge of that needs to do a better job and not miss recording reservations on some of the sites.

Everything was great except for the water supply.....It was difficult to get it flowing!
