Roll into a piece of recreational history at Davenport Campground in the Wet Mountains.

That older facility, which was called Squirrel Creek Campground, was located a few miles from Davenport. It was created around 1920 before being destroyed by a flood in 1947.
But the influx of people camping, fishing and driving in Squirrel Creek Canyon was making a mess; an inspection found “raw sewage, abundant trash, stream pollution, denuded slopes and the ever-present risk of escaped campfires,” the agency says in a display located at Davenport.
Today, Davenport Campground is a special place. It’s one of a rare few with a creek cutting through the middle of it, and it has those old-school structures, which you’ll find almost nowhere else these days. We camped there in early June — Davenport is open May through October and requires reservations — and had the place almost all to ourselves.
