Sitting on the shores of Lake Davis in Plumas National Forest, this US Forest Service campground gives campers direct access to the lake. No pets are allowed. Nearby options include Grasshopper Flat, roughly 1.9 miles southeast, for campers who need more flexibility on that policy. Lake Davis itself is the draw here, making this a practical base for anglers and paddlers working the water.
