Park at Big Creek ranger station. You'll have an extra 3/4 mile the last day but it's downhill. Better than finding your car with no radio or windows (or just missing). I've never had a problem at Big Creek.

Not safe to park at Davenport Gap, either park at the Big Creek Ranger Station as hiker33 said, or at nearby Standing Bear Hostel.
