The campground is nice, and close to the marina. The unfortunate part is that giant RVs all around you run their generators 24 seven and it’s very very noisy.we were annoyed the entire stay. No peace at all.

It was great as usual. I would like to recommend electrical outlets for us campers. I personally would like to camp earlier in the year like in June but it does get cold at night. It was cool this July at night but the the day heat was very hot....in fact fishing was virtually non-existent due to the heat therefore another reason to camp earlier despite the night cold in the tent.

Overall a great camping spot, but this year the toilets and showers didn’t work multiple times. That and it seems that every campground around is told to show up here to shower.

Maybe fix the showers and toilets once in a while.

I will have to look for a new place to stay.

I have been staying at Deer Run for almost a decade. It’s sad to see that the infrastructure is falling apart.

Been staying for a few years in July. Water hydrant by campsite did not work. Got the annual give your money for our towed vehicle ($10) per day. Campground is already expensive was $180 +\- for 4 nights with reservation fee. Most of the showers were out of service due to a group of 4th of July camps that got rowdy and destructive. They then took the rest out of service to do some water leak testing in the middle of our stay. The dump station is by appointment only with the host. Campground is really nice and quiet. A few of the spots are big enough for a large rv. The lake is nice. The host/manager was pleasant was really empty lots of sites reserved but no show.

We have always loved staying at Deer Run every year. This year was not the case. One of the main reasons we like it is the showers. I know that it is beyond their control that this year there was a water issue with broken pipes, but only having two showers open for all the campers staying was impossible given that they were open only certain times.
The campsites have always been cleaned and the tables newly painted… this year tables were broken, splintered and unpainted. There was garbage left we were blamed for.
We generally are a group of at least 20 and reserve at least 3 sites so we are aware of the extra car charge( also stated on the the website) - we hadn’t even gotten settled before the managers were here demanding money - but got defensive when we asked about compensation for the showers and the broken tables.
Deer Run is still a nice campground with all the trees and views- hopefully things get better.
Any compensation would be appreciated.
