The fly's at the campground were really bad, again this year. The host was polite and helpful. I will be camping there again this year.

Always a great place to camp. Each site is large enough to not be bothered by the neighbors. The campground is quiet and well kept. The lake is nice for kayaking.

I am looking forward to time at Deerfield lake this coming summer. Our visit was very nice. The residents in South Dakota get spoiled with all the amenities at Custer state park for the same price per night but the quiet at Deerfield Lake is great!

Liked the campground, the lake and the trails. the only bad thing was that none of the camper sites are level

We were just passing through and wanted a remote campground. Dutchman fits that bill. The host was excellent and the setting very nice. However, when we were the there the campground was less than 1/2 full, which made everything feel spacious. We stayed in our Class A motorhome.
