I had a great time here. The campsite was very clean and quiet. The fishing was great and the views spectacular. Would recommend to a friend.

Bathrooms were not tended to. The camp host allowed a huge party (50+ people) on Sunday with no one actually camping (day use) in an area clearly marked for camping only, no day use. Otherwise, nice trip.

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.
