Davy Brown Campground Los Padres National Forest California

Davy Brown Overview

Davy Brown Campground has 13 single-family campsites and is located next to a creek in the beautiful Los Padres National Forest. Campsites have nice shade from oak and gray pine trees. Red manzanita, coffee berry and red berry shrubs are also found in the campground.

Campsites can accommodate tents, trailers and RVs (up to 25 feet). The road to the campground is narrow and would be a bit challenging for trailers. It’s mostly paved (about a mile is dirt). Each site also has a table, fire ring, grate and BBQ pedestal. Amenities include vault toilets and trash collection.  Water is not available so bring your own.  There is no cell service or overflow parking available.

Nira Campground is also nearby.

Area Recreation & Activities

The campground is a popular base camp to enjoy hiking, mountain biking, photography, hunting, horseback riding, ATVing, backpacking and wildlife viewing. Wildflowers are on full display in the spring. You can also splash around and cool off in the creek’s water holes.

Two miles further are the Lower Manzana and Upper Manzana trailheads, entry points to the majestic San Rafael Wilderness. Los Olivios, Santa Ynez, Solvang and Buelton are within an hour’s drive.
