This was our first stay at Deerlick Campground. We were in town for my sons fishing tournament. I was surprised by there not being any septic hookups but it wasnt a deal breaker. Everyone from check in to check out was very nice. We had bad weather one night and one of the workers came by and explained where we could go during the storm if we felt unsafe. The park was very clean and well kept. I can not say enough good things about Mandy Harville. This lady works very hard and takes her job serious. Ive never seen campground bath houses as clean as they were when she was working. My family and I will definitely be staying here while we're in town from now on.

Variety levels of hiking trails available throughput the campground. Must do: one-mile Tree Trail loop; nicely paved and marked. All camp hosts and volunteers were super-friendly. Clean bathrooms and showers. Easy access to dumpster and dump station. Our RV site was spread out and level with clean water / 50 amp connections.

Very nice campground. Sites are isolated. Campground hosts were extremely nice and helpful. There are some sites that would be very hard to get in with a big rig. Most of the sites have a nice deck that hangs out over the hillside. Will definitely be back.
