We always enjoy our time at Deerlick. The staff is super friendly and helpful and the grounds are gorgeous. We are sad when we are done with trips for the season and start planning for the next Fall.

One of my favorite campgrounds anywhere. Friendly and helpful staff, clean restrooms, and great well-maintained sites. They have just reopened after storms downed trees earlier this year. Grandkids had a great time playing on the playground. Walking trail is not accessible right now, nor is the beach. Unstandable given the amount of damage that was done. Will take some time to get everything back open and clear, however great job was done in getting the campground back open. Even with downed trees along the side of roads, it is a great place to camp. Highly recommended

While the site was narrow it was still perfect. This is a gorgeous quiet park and look forward to staying here again.
