A well-known and much-used public space on the north side of Bullhead, Arizona, is about to see significant facility upgrade work.
Located at 2251 Arizona Route 68, Davis Camp is both a park and camping ground seeing more than 200,000 visitors on an annual basis.
Now Mohave County officials have announced that work may soon begin on the renovation of existing ramadas in the park, as well as the building and installation of new ones.
The park will also see the renovation of several vacation homes at the site, as well as shower houses and restroom upgrades.
In addition, a new dock and boat ramp will be built, along with a basketball court.
A total of $1.8 million in funding for the Camp Davis work is coming via the federal American Rescue Plan Act.
An additional Camp Davis project, seeing the phase four 1,800-foot completion of a new waterline, is also being funded through the ARPA to the tune of $286,000.
Altogether, Mohave County last spring received around $41.5 million in ARPA funding for a variety of new construction and upgrade infrastructure projects.
Davis Park’s origins reach back to the mid-1940s when workers building the nearby massive Davis Dam lived in dormitories at the site on a long-term basis.
