Campground was very empty when we were here in Sept/October. Camp host Susie was very friendly and helpful. Sites were very large and the pit toilets were very clean.

We love staying at Deer run. Nice large private camp spots. Close to the marina and other needs. We love the showers in this camp. Just what’s needed after a long day playing on the Gorge. Our camp host this last time was so kind and helpful. They always are but even more so this last time.

Site 15. Pretty spot with shade. Area was clean. We had two tents and while there were areas to put them up, there were not raised tent pads and if it rained there would be problems as they were in drainages. We were there for the opening weekend starting May 11th. Definitely no water and no showers and there was still no water when we left on the 15th. Only one of the vault toilets was open, the other locked. The camp host did a good job cleaning them. The Cedar Springs marina didn't have fish cleaning tables open. Boat ramps (Cedar Springs and Antelope Flats) had debris and rocks on them. Boating and fishing was good with spectacular scenery.

Overall the campground and host were great. It is early season so not all water facilities are up and running but that wasn’t a problem for us. The area was clean, quiet, and close to the marina which made it a perfect spot to call home base for our fishing trip.

Storm, the camp hostess, was honestly 10+. She was cheerful, helpful, thoughtful, and hard working. Having been trailer camping for 30 years, I have to say that she was the best. Deer Run campground is superlative and when you have a hostess like Storm, you just need to scribble a wonderful comment.

This was my second trip to this campsite. I went last year right around the same time in June. Great campsite and the manager is excellent. The only disappointment this round was that the water was turned off meaning no showers or any water access. We ended up leaving early, heading up to a hotel in Green River Wyoming, and continued our trip. I would definitely visit there again. It’s just unfortunate that the water was turned off for some reason.
