Deer Lake

Excellent campground! I'm a car camper who uses a tent and camps alone. I like the solitude. This campground has numerous sites that are relatively private. I will say there was a large group my second night that was loud well after quiet time. This probably should have been dealt with better. I just didn't worry about how much noise I made when I went fishing before sunrise.
The boat landings were sketchy at best. One did not reach the lake and it would have been easy to get stuck. The one closest to the campground had a channel that was very low. Another fisherman told me he lost his transducer in the channel. I understand lake levels were low but this is not an uncommon occurrence. There should be a better way to access the lake during drier summers.
The outhouses were the cleanest ever! There were also plenty of outhouses.
I shall return!

We camped in North Deer Lake #9. The steps going down to the Lake are terrible. The steps really need to be fixed.
Thank you.

First review of a NF campground. Felt it's time since I've been traveling to different NF this year. Deer lake camping was very nice for me. It's tucked away 20 mi out of Deer River Wisconsin among the many lakes and trees. The dirt road leading to it has a couple other NF campgrounds, but Deer Lake south is the last on the dead end road. So not much traffic to be heard. The campground had decent cell service (Verizon) so for those who have to check in with the family will be fine. My only complaint would be the use of generators. Guess there's more fisherman than true campers. Lol.

The campsite I was in had a mixture of sun and shade. The lake was beautiful and not very crowded with excellent fishing for walleyes and northern pike. The camp host did not have firewood for sale so pick some up locally before you head out.
