It was absolutely wonderful staying in deer creek camp ground. The host was so kind and helpful. All sites were clean. Bathrooms were spotless. Lake access was limited due to fallen trees everywhere. But overall really great!!

This was our first time camping during the early part of the camping season, the water in the lake rose everyday... like watching flowers open up in the spring. The campsite was perfect and waiting for us. The bathrooms were meticulously clean even during the busiest times over Memorial day weekend. Our campground host was simply amazing (Carmen and Phillip). We did the usual hikes to Rancheria Falls and Indian Pools, but we also drove out to Mushroom rock. Mushroom rock was an unforgettable experience, driving through the burn area was a harsh reminder of the magnitude of the fire. It also reminds us to be more responsible when at the lake... never take it for granted.

The camp host, Carmen, was exceptional! Kept the bathroom spotless and even provided hand soap on her own dime. Carmen went above and beyond, excellent camp host. You could tell she enjoyed what she was doing. Highly recommend!

All the rave reviews about Carmen the camp host are true. She is the best! She rakes all the sites before people arrive. The wood was stocked. Bathrooms are clean. We had a great time over Memorial Day weekend. It was too cold to swim in the lake and there aren’t showers so we were a little smelly by the end of the weekend. I would totally stay here again! Thank you Carmen!!
