Deer Creek

Beautiful site. Great camp hosts.
All is good at Deer Creek!

We had a wonderful time camping at Deer Creek in Huntington Lake! The check-in process was super easy—when you reserve online, you can go straight to your assigned campsite without any hassle. The area is absolutely beautiful, very peaceful, and quiet—perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature.

There’s a convenient store within walking distance in case you need supplies, and the bathroom was impressively clean for a campground. The camp host is located right at the entrance and was friendly and available if we needed anything.

A quick tip: bring extra blankets—it gets pretty chilly at night, even during summer.

Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy a quiet camping experience by the lake!

All sites very close to lake.

The supervisor of the campground is overbearing and unreasonable. She made me move a car even though there were no “no parking” signs posted.

Great spot to sail, hike and relax

We stayed in site 15, it was double site. We tent camp and there was plenty of room, shade, and flat space for us. We lived being so close to the water and the extra room of being in a double site. The camp host was amazing! He answered questions when I had them, assisted when our neighbor was blasting music at 8pm with their speakers pointed directly at our site, and even offered tips. Definitely hope to come back again next year.

There are two toilets working for the whole campground. No showers or electricity. Bathrooms were not cleaned regularly. On morning I went to use the head and the trash was overflowing and there was no toilet paper. Camp hosts were very disengaged.

We always enjoy staying at Deer Creek. I wish they would open the other 2 campsites, Kinnikinnick and Catavee across the street so it would not be so hard to book a site at Deer Creek. then we would have options for the dates we would like to go.

Everything was as expected. It was a very nice campground. The only thing I do wish is that they would do a little better job keeping the lake shores & campground trash free. But mostly the campground was real nice.

We stayed at Deer Creek Campground near Huntington Lake and really enjoyed our visit. The campground itself is beautiful, with great views, and the camp host was very friendly. The bathrooms were clean and well-kept, and we didn’t see any bear activity during our stay.

The drive in can feel a bit heavy, as there is still a lot of burn scar from past wildfires on the surrounding mountainsides. Our site, #26, was nice but very sunny with little shade—something to be prepared for if you’re camping here.

We had Verizon cell service, which worked but wasn’t great—just enough for the basics. We brought kayaks and had no problem getting them down to the lake, and we felt comfortable leaving them there when not in use. Do note that the lake tends to get windy starting around noon, so mornings are the best time for paddling.

Overall, it’s a beautiful spot with great access to the lake, clean facilities, and a welcoming host.
