Camping at Grasshopper Flat near Blairsden

Public campground · Blairsden · 66 campsites · 1 group

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Recreation at Grasshopper Flat centers on Lake Davis: the 4,000-acre reservoir created in 1967 offers 32 miles of shoreline with countless fishing access points, regular boating and swimming spots, and a trailhead for the 7-mile Lake Davis Trail less than half a mile from the campground. Anglers should note the area's popular trout fisheries and free trout fishing days held in June and September; in winter the lake draws ice fishers, snowmobilers and cross-country skiers, while spring through fall opens opportunities for mountain biking, hunting and wildlife viewing.

“Camp host ‘patty’ was extraordinaire in her duties and presence! Loved that the fire trucks came through daily and the ranger kept track of coolers and food that needed to put up from bears. Campsites were clean and nice views of the lake.”

“Weather was nice Camp host on her game and friendly.”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (6,000 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
