East Davis Lake Campground

East Davis Lake Campground is on the east side of Odell Creek near where it feeds into Davis Lake. The campground offers easy access to the lake.

Visitors enjoy fly fishing, wildlife viewing, and birding. There is also access to nearby lava flows at Lava Flow Campground. Several years ago a forest fire burned an area around the campground, leaving the campground as an oasis of mature trees.

East Davis Lake Campground has 17 single campsites and 3 double sites. Campsites are large but lack much privacy. Nearly all the sites have pull-through driveways. The campground is set among pine trees. Reservations are now available for the campground, while some sites are available first-come, first-served.
