Reservations are available at East Davis Campground, a drive-in site in Deschutes National Forest running $21–$23 per night from April through September. The access road is narrow and reportedly rough, so drivers of larger rigs should note the 40-foot RV limit and plan accordingly. A fire burned through the area in prior years, leaving the surrounding landscape with sparse tree cover. Odell Creek runs along the west side of the campground, though it runs shallow with no swimming. Davis Lake is fly-fishing only, with trout and bass in the water. The campground fills up during summer, so reservations are worth securing early. Anglers and RV travelers who can manage the road conditions will find West Davis Lake nearby if additional options are needed. Those researching campgrounds near Deschutes National Forest will find this one well-suited to fishing-focused trips over multi-day stays.
