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.

Deer Creek was a wonderful one-week camping experience. Kudos to your amazing camp hosts Carmen and Michael.
The bathrooms were as clean or cleaner than I’ve ever seen in 70 years of camping. The campsites are raked clean prior to a new reservation arriving! These hosts deserve a big thumbs up!

The campground is relatively unchanged since last year. The fire mainly affected areas in the westernmost and southern part of the lake shore. The store, restaurant, and saloon are closed, but the small store at the gas station is open. We had a wonderful week by the lake, hiking the lakeshore and exploring the Kaiser Pass Rd to Edison Lake and the Potter Pass loop. Mono Hot Springs looks to be in full operation.

Love that you have recycling in the campground now!
The soap in the bathrooms was a nice touch.
Carmen and her husband (our camp hosts) were lovely, and made it a pleasant stay!
Huntington continues to be a magical place to spend time in the summer.
