We were surprised by the view from site 18. The park was really clean and the spots were spread out. This was a stop for us when traveling through, but will be the destination on a future trip.

The sites at this park are amazing. The only thing that would make them better is sewer hookups. However, they do have a very clean and adequate bathhouse and dump station.

Our first stay at Deerlick did not disappoint. The campground workers were very friendly and worked hard to keep the sites and grounds clean. They even split firewood and had it available for those who needed it for the cold nights we experienced during our stay. Our view from site 33 was amazing! We visited for five nights just before Thanksgiving and were welcomed by beautiful autumn colors. It felt like we were in a treehouse on the deck of our site. We enjoyed the various trails and sunsets on the lake. However, the most wonderful aspect of this campground was how peaceful it was! If you’re looking for a tranquil and beautiful setting in the forest, this is the place to be! Each site is unique and has a nice view, but we really liked sites 17, 18, and 39 for their water views. We hope to visit Deerlick again in the future.
