About Deer Creek

Deer Creek Campground is located in California Sierra National Forest. The campground is tucked under dense fir and pines along the shore of Huntington Lake and offers scenic lake views, especially during the annual sailboat regatta. Boats can be moored near some of the camp sites. There are two loops to this campground: one is more heavily forested with more sites along the lake, and the other has more open and sunny sites with closer access to the resort community of Lakeshore. All sites have a view of Huntington Lake.

Number of accommodations: 27

Adjacent campsite was allowed to have way to many people (main reason). Trees had been cut down around site leaving it in total sunlight (no shade).

This spot was very secluded, and nice. It was quiet and clean. The bathrooms were out for a whole day and through the night, but other than that my experience was wonderful. I'm going again to the same spot this weekend.

The spot had no shade at all and the camp host was never there to buy firewood from, in fact I don't think we even saw them once in the whole 5 days we were there. Besides that the lake was beautiful as was the wilderness around the lake, there were a few people that had no camping etiquette other than that everything else was nice.
