Situated in the Sacramento Valley, just west of the state capital, the city of Davis is best known for the esteemed University of California, Davis. It’s also a great place for cyclists, with around 50 miles of bike trails. The parks in and around town are fantastic, from the UC Davis-run Putah Creek Riparian Reserve—which offers easy access to boating on Putah Creek—to the 320-acre Grasslands Regional Park, which offers excellent birdwatching opportunities. While most visitors to Davis stay in hotels, you’ll find private camping not too far from town, particularly in and around the nearby communities of Wilton and Woodland.

Set up camp and relax in one of our private manzanita surrounded tent sites. A short three min walk to our cobble beach along the beautiful South Fork America River will keep you cool during this hot summer. Or use our sites as a base camp for the many hiking and biking trails in the area. Taste some local wines at one of the many wineries or grab a growler at a nearby brewery. Propane fire pits are provided for your stay at your camp site, with one tank of propane included for your use... Because what is camping without looking at a fire and roasting marshmallows? Our fire pits sure help add to that *camping feel* but COOKING OVER FIRE PITS (OTHER THAN S'MORES) IS NOT PERMITTED, so please plan to bring your own camp stove or preferred camp-cooking appliances and the required fuel. We look forward to your stay with us! FAQ: What should I bring? For our standard tent or RV sites, the sites include a picnic table and a propane fire pit with propane for heating/ambiance only. You should plan to pack everything you would usually expect to bring with you to a typical Forest Service or State Park campground... For example: propane camp stove or equivalent with your own propane/fuel for cooking, extra tables for your personal camp set-up needs, shade tents or pop-ups, games or camp activities, camp cots/pads/air mattresses, camping bedding, tents, camp chairs, etc. We are happy to answer any question you may have!

Where to go

Eldorado National Forest

Some of the best opportunities for outdoor exploration in the Davis area are situated in the massive Eldorado National Forest, an hour or so’s drive east of the city. Here you'll find over 400 miles of trails, an extensive network of rivers and streams, and dozens of campgrounds, many with beautiful lake or river views.

Auburn State Recreation Area

Stretching for miles along the North and Middle Forks of the American River, the dog-friendly Auburn State Recreation Area is a popular spot for whitewater rafting, and there are dozens of outfitters in the area offering river adventures. The park also has three primitive campgrounds for tent camping, including a boat-in option.

Bothe-Napa Valley State Park

A good base for exploring the wineries of the surrounding Napa Valley, Bothe-Napa Valley State Park offers cabins and yurts for rent plus tent and RV camping. It's a great place for hiking, particularly if you want to see gargantuan coast redwoods.

When to go

Davis has a pretty pleasant climate throughout most of the year. Winters here tend to be mild, and temperatures rarely drop below freezing, but July and August can get hot, with highs in the low- to mid-90s. Spring and fall are the best times to visit, when it's generally warm enough for outdoor activities, though late fall and early spring can be foggy and rainy at times.
