Davenport Campground

US Forest Service · Colorado

Davenport Campground in Colorado. Ringed marker is this site; the other dots are the 939 public campsites we map in Colorado.

Davenport Campground was one of the first Forest Service campgrounds, and is near the now-abandoned Squirrel Creek Campground, the very first Forest Service campground in the country. In 2010, Davenport was rebuilt to evoke the original 1920s design. Adirondack shelters and a common cooking shelter with stone fireplaces were built and old-style log picnic tables add to the historic character of this campground.
