About Davis Flat Campground

Davis Flat Campground sits in Mendocino National Forest near Stonyford at 1,601 feet elevation. The 20 primitive sites ($5/night) attract OHV riders looking for direct trail access, but this campground has a reputation for noise. Weekend parties and dirt bikes running late into the night are common complaints in reviews.

Davis Flat Campground offers spacious sites with tables and fire rings, accommodating OHV campers. No additional lodging facilities are mentioned.

Natural Features and SceneryA creek runs alongside the campground, offering water access and ambient sound when the engines quiet down. Miles of OHV trails branch out from camp into the surrounding forest terrain. The elevation keeps things cooler than the Central Valley, though the landscape here is more utilitarian staging area than scenic retreat.

Go if

Dirt bikers and OHV riders who want to wake up and be on the trails in minutes will find this hard to beat at $5/night. Weekdays are noticeably calmer. Bring all your water, and check fire restrictions before you go since summer is peak season.

Skip if

Light sleepers and families should know: no rangers patrol after dark, riders have been reported going until late at night, and the M10 eastern approach has active construction with a patched slide that requires a lightweight 4WD vehicle.
