Great campground. Great Experience. Might be helpful to new comeers to post a sign on the north side of the road indicating the campground is there.

Nice quiet group site. Very clean vault toilet. Camp host checked on us to make sure everything was good and helped us when one of our party had car troubles.

Seems like the info in the GS1 for the Davis Canyon Campground is not accurate, we found another party occupying site 7 when we got there which was unfortunate because we made our reservation with plenty of time in advance (months in advance) and they got there that same day and took the site as FCFS.
