This Campground is on our top 10 Army Corps of Engineer campgrounds that we have visited. Beautifully maintained sites, clean restrooms, awesome topography with great views, hiking trails and the icing on the cake are the wonderful campground volunteers.

Clean & beautiful park. Living nearby, Deerlick provides us a close escape from reality. There are many sites with great waterfront views. We stayed a week recently for a working “stay-cation”. Visits from family & friends made it a great week. We had great coverage for streaming. We were always welcomed back to the park by Deerlick’s herd of whitetail deer.

One caution I’d offer is some slots (36-46) can be difficult for larger units. I’d avoid those slots with full sized trailers, fifth wheels or Class A units but that’s just my opinion. The issue is a very limited turn around area on the road for those slots. Those slots do offer a great view, but your egress in those particular slots might involve backing back up to hairpin to make your exit with large units. Some folks are up to it...others aren’t. Choose wisely.
