Campground is well maintained, and having garbage cans and recycling bins are nice amenities. Campsites are spacious. The creekside sites have the views and are the most popular by far. Most are well shaded, but it's hard to tell from available information which are best.

There were thousands of biting red ants in my space and all over really. I couldn't get my dog out in that mess or sit out myself. I drove to Gilchrist to find ant spray, about a 45 minute round trip.

We met up with friend and had an excellent time. There were a few mosquitoes but not too bad. Quiet campground.

The lake and O'Dell creek was beautiful this time of year. The water was low for kayaking but still pretty.

Beautiful setting along Odell Creek! The campgrounds are generously spaced out so there is some privacy. I love that this is not a large campground.

I have camped at East Davis CG for many years. It has become very popular with too few campsites. I would like to see the FS reopen West Davis CG. Why they haven't done that by now is a mystery to me.

I love Davis Lake. I have visited this particular campsite since it was unknown to the masses that flock there to that like oasis in the Cascades. The reservation system at place now is a turn off for me. I managed to reserve the site of my choice and the time I wanted. However, many visitors were not so lucky. Why? because, there were just as many other people who had reserved sites for 2 or 3 nights. They did not show up at the reserved periods. The drive-in visitors could not use those sites and consequently, unfortunately, they could not unpack and camp at DL as a result. One can not take up a space that has supposedly been reserved by someone else. I found this to be a wasteful, and unfair system. The "Open", I.E. non-reservable sites are the WORSE a camper can have while paying exactly the same amount as in the online reservation system. THAT is not only wasteful, it is UNFAIR to all those who have the miss the better sites that were reserved but were not used. ONLY and ONLY because the online reservation system makes a 3rd party some $$$$. The only price difference between them is the fees the third-party app imposes for "processing". We have all heard that before. So, you be the judge, did I have a good experience at my favorite Cascade Lakes?

We love this campground and have stayed here several times. Overall we had a nice stay and the campground was well taken care of and the bathrooms were clean and stocked with toilet paper. We did have two issues during our stay. First, when we arrived on the afternoon of 7/2/2023, the reserved sign had not been updated to show our reservation. The last reservation listed on the sign ended on 7/2/2023. Because the sign wasn't updated, a camper without a reservation assumed that our site was not reserved starting on 7/2/2023 and had set up his tent in our site. We were able to work it out with the camper and helped him to find another site and move his tent, but he wouldn't have been confused if the sign had been updated timely. The camp management didn't update the sign until 7/4/2023 (our last day in camp). Second, the evening of 7/3/2023 the potable water stopped working and was not fixed by the time we left on 7/4/2023. We had counted on having access to potable water and did not bring a large reserve of water, so this we pretty inconvenient.

East Davis Lake Campground may be one of the best little gems in Central OR. I am new to Bend, and have found this campground very peaceful. Only having 17 sites, they are not on top of each other - love being semi off the grid, with only running water and toilet. The Odell Creek flows through most of the sites. They are all very well maintained and clean.
@RondaP8589597 · Camped on Jun 19, 2023 at Campsite #2
We had a great time. My only complaint is the numbering system is not good. When making reservations we thought we would be on the water side. That's what the map seemed like. But now we know. And we will be back.
@JessEA455D6039 · Camped on Jun 9, 2023 at Campsite #16
This site was stunning and very private - I would highly recommend it. The campground has trees insulating you from your neighbors - and there is essentially 20+ feet of private creek front with a stunning view of Maiden Peak straight ahead, and bachelor to the right. Bring bug spray (we went in June) - but otherwise no hickups what so ever.
@AndyB1366086 · Camped on Jun 7, 2023 at Campsite #9
Trash removal didn’t happen during our five nights of camping & therefore piled up outside restrooms. Liked the hand pump for water better than solar button; water very slow.
@RebeccaM167754 · Camped on Sep 9, 2022 at Campsite #16
Unable to use due to thick smoke and evacuation of many campgrounds surrounding this one as well as closing of access roads in and out. Was not offered a refund
@RichC2614369 · Camped on Aug 29, 2022 at Campsite #12
Beautiful area and campground. Bathrooms were clean, the sites fairly well kept. Buggy at night near the water and hornets are a problem. Would definitely stay again.
@StevenS1501716 · Camped on Aug 4, 2022 at Campsite #3
Beautiful, quiet campground. Lots of privacy, spacious sites. We enjoyed wildlife viewing and star gazing. Will be back again!
@LanningB816758 · Camped on Jul 19, 2022 at Campsite #12
Rustic and quiet!! The potable water was great
@dianthah292814 · Camped on Jul 17, 2022 at Campsite #14
the creek is beautiful.
@DonL7703358 · Camped on Jul 14, 2022 at Campsite #7
A quiet campground nestled in a grove of trees surrounded by an old burn. There is a creek running next to it. Wonderful
@GregR8740343 · Camped on Jul 10, 2022 at Campsite #9
Such a beautiful quiet location with the neatest and cleanest pit toilets. The camp host did an outstanding job and was incredibly helpful with information.
@JohnH2789214 · Camped on Jun 23, 2022 at Campsite #3
Been coming to Cascade lakes area for 30 years. Has always been an enjoyable experience. The recent stay at east Davis was especially wonderful because of host Tamera. She was readily available to help with camping information during the closures at mallard marsh when we needed to find alternate sites. Was superior also at keeping camp & bathrooms clean & supplied with toilet paper. Hope she’ll be back next year.
@KirkM5140167 · Camped on Jun 19, 2022 at Campsite #9
Nice quiet small campground. The only issue was the solar water pump was broken and no potable water in the campground. The best campsite in the campground was reserved for two weeks and a no show. After day two we moved into the site and stayed a couple more nights with them never showing up. There needs to be some kind of penalty for no showing.
@DelayneG322904 · Camped on May 31, 2022 at Campsite #14
We love this campground. Usually no big RVs. Mostly fisher people. Love the sites along Odell Creek.
@MicheleE262 · Camped on Sep 18, 2021 at Campsite #13
East Davis Lake Campground is one of my favorite places on the planet. The eagles and migrating birds, the sunsets, surrounding hikes and mountains, walks by the creek, space between sites... I love it here!
@BobI714 · Camped on Aug 25, 2021 at Campsite #8
The campground is well maintained, the restrooms are kept clean, and the concessionaire who runs this campground is doing an excellent job operating it in a manner that encourages repeat visits! This has become my favorite Oregon campground!

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
