About

Grasshopper Flat Campground is one of three family campgrounds in the Lake Davis Recreation Area, located at 5,800 feet elevation on the southeast side of the 4,000-acre Lake Davis. The campground loops around a hilltop, providing most of its 71 campsites with sweeping views of the lake's crystal blue water framed by tall pine trees and distant mountain peaks. Ample afternoon shade is provided by the surrounding pine forest. The campground offers developed amenities including flush toilets, coin-operated showers, trash service, paved roads, and paved parking pads. Each campsite includes a table, fire ring with grill, and can accommodate up to 6 people and 2 vehicles. Site 69/70 is designated as a group site. A campground host is on-site during operating season, and 33 of the 71 sites can be reserved in advance through Recreation.gov. Lake Davis offers 32 miles of shoreline with numerous fishing access points, popular for its trout population. The adjacent Honker Cove Boat Launch provides direct water access, and an RV dump station is nearby. The 7-mile Lake Davis Trail begins less than half a mile from the campground. Winter visitors enjoy ice fishing, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing. The campground is operated by Royal Elk Property Management.
