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.

The campground was one of the cleanest I have ever seen. The host cleans up and rakes each site before the next campers take over the site. It also has great lake access. It is also a very quiet and relaxing campground.

At last we were able to book a site after all of the covid madness ..
So nice to get away 😌
We got there a day early and go to stay at a fcfs site , had a bear encounter!!! Kinda shook us up pretty bad . Be careful they are out there we spotted it first then decided to sleep in our truck only to be woken up by the bear literally rocking our truck to get the ice chest out of truck bed !!! Very very scary!! 😨 😱

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).
