Deerhammer is a small campground, tucked back at the far end of Reudi Reservoir, about a 45 minute drive from Basalt. There is convenient access to the reservoir for kayak or canoe, and at this calm, sheltered end of the reservoir we could spot fish. We were there in August and the mosquitoes were ferocious (the only negative about our stay).

Bugs and Mosquitos are unbearable in the summer season.

Nice location but, despite an on site warden, loud partying until 2am with unattended kids chopping wood with axes in the middle of the night whilst their drunk parents stumbled around the fire pit really did take the edge off the experience...

The keeper was a tremendous help. The stay would have just been OK but she made it easy and really helped me out.
