Camping at Deer Creek

✦

We offer camping at its best. Whether you pull in with a motor home, a trailer, or set up a tent on a shaded or open-air site — you're going to love it here. Most sites have 30-amp electrical hookups with water outlets throughout the grounds and an on-property dump station for convenience.

After long days of fishing, boating, and swimming at the beach, life stories are swapped nightly around the campfires. The kids run free while the adults enjoy good meals and the company of camping neighbors who become lifelong friends.
