We stayed at site#9. A great campsite except for a few things:this one is right by the trail to the lake so there is some foot traffic.the grill over the fire pit was a little unstable. It is a little buggy, lots of gnats and some mosquitoes.It was a bit unclear if the water was drinkable or not, there was a sign at the front that says non potable water but the water spickets didn't have a sign on them.The camp host wasn't super attentive we didn't see them until we were leaving, it would've been nice if they greeted us and told us where to get more firewood.Other than beautiful area. Nice quiet campsite. Saw lots of cool wildlife. It's nice being close to the lake.

Love it here, we try to come every year but have missed out due to fires and covid recently. Felt great to return. Would love it if they let us camp in the winter again, that was what really made this place super-special. There is nothing like camping Lake Davis and the Sierra in Winter, but you better LOVE the cold and come prepared for SNOW.

Such a nice campground, it’s kept clean and the biking paths are kept up as well. Definitely go to the little store to pick up some bait for Bass fishing, they are very knowledgeable about where the fish are biting. Take a drive around the lake or check out Smith Peak Lookout.

This campground was empty except for a couple campers and the host. Very surprising for the middle of August. It is near Lake Davis, a beautiful big lake. No motorboats are allowed which kept it quiet. We brought our canoe and it was a perfect lake for it.
We had a great time! The host let us chose any campsite we wanted even though we had a reservation.
