About
Davis Lake Campground sits at 4,550 feet in the Colville National Forest, providing a quiet escape with four rustic campsites overlooking the 17-acre Davis Lake. Each site includes a picnic table, fire pit, and tent pad with views of the water. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no fees required. A vault toilet is available, but campers must bring their own drinking water and pack out all trash. The lake offers excellent cutthroat trout fishing and features a primitive rock-and-pebble boat launch on the northeast corner. Internal combustion motors are prohibited, making this an ideal spot for kayaks, canoes, and electric trolling motors. The Davis Lake Trail #92 provides a 0.7-mile hike around three-quarters of the lake perimeter, and over 6 miles of OHV trails branch off from the area. Access is via a single-lane dirt road suitable for passenger vehicles and small trailers up to 14 feet. The campground enforces quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. and limits stays to 14 consecutive days. A Washington state fishing license is required for anglers.
