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

We stayed in space 8. Plenty of room for our 32’ MH. View of the lake and a short walk away. They had just cleared some trees. Unfortunately that caused them to cancel 5 nights of our 7 night stay, but it was still worth the trip. We will be back!

Great location, though it was a long drive from San Diego to get there. site The air was clean and the lake which we could see from our site was beautiful. There are some sites right on the water edge. Sites were good size with space between you and the next site. Finally a spot in California where we could camp and swim

We returned to Deer Creek after being at Rancheria Campground the last several years. Prior to Rancheria we had been at Deer Creek for many years as our preferred campground but were forced to change the year Deer Creek was closed . It felt good to be back but were disappointed that so many trees had been removed.

Unfortunately, the clearing of dead trees was underway and the lake was low and the fishing slow. However, the restrooms were locked up for too long for no good reason and the camp host was less than friendly.
The camp map needs to be reviewed because the site we chose and the one that is marked are not one and the same.
