Private Tent #4 with Fire Ring
Overall the site was clean and quiet, but if there would've been others camping there it would've been crowded with the tent sites so close to each other. Also, there's no phone signal in that area, so better load your map before going.

Beautiful, relaxing setup.
Having a clean bathroom always helps as well.

This was a wonderful experience. So peaceful and relaxing. The campsite was well kept, fish were biting, and we had everything we needed ! John was an awesome host and kept us well informed of everything we needed to do and know. My husband and I would come back for sure !

This is our second time at DeerCreek! We love it so much. The location, the tree cover, the river. Couldn't ask for better.

Private Tent Site #6, FireRing
We had a great time at Deer Creek Camp! Very private and the waterfall is beautiful!

The campground was excellent - with trees abound and the waterfall so near, the natural ambience goes a long way to make you feel isolated from the hustle of the outside world.
All the campsites look appropriate for campers of all experience levels, but I was really happy to have gone with site six.
The stone's throw bathroom was a welcome surprise, and the amenities were just fancy enough to help you feel fresh without detracting from the overall outdoor experience.
Lastly, the trails were lovely. A decent amount to explore with some lovely views.
Host was friendly and accommodating, can't wait to come back when the opportunity presents itself.

Beautiful place. Convenient and comfortable.
The entrance is a little tight for a truck.

This is my second visit to John's campsite. I simply love the peacefulness of this site - lots of shade and a beautiful, calming waterfall. I love sleeping with that sound! The bathhouse is well-maintained! Clean, functional, and nature-friendly. I would camp here again and again!

I initially booked deck #1 but upon arrival I found deck #5 to have the best view of all sites so I reached out to John and asked if we could switch. Since we were the only party to book that day, he let us switch to deck #5. This campsite is truly stunning! The deck was solid and well built. The waterfall was an amazing feature, my kids (19 mos & 5 yrs) loved to play in it. The view from deck #5 is absolutely amazing! Seriously I wondered why this place isn’t fully booked already. Loved the trail that leads to a treehouse. It was easy and short (about 20 mins one way), perfect for family with kids. John was responsive during our entire stay.
However, there are a few cons. The sites are quite close together, properly about 15-20ft apart. I imagine if it was fully booked, it’d be a little crowded. Electricity is very limited, it runs off of batteries so runs out quick. Water also doesn’t seem very clean, it has a dark color to it, it’s properly rain water. We used a lot of wet wipes to clean ourselves instead of using the water.
Overall, extremely beautiful and clean campsites. It rivals some of the best state park campsites we have been to that’s always fully booked months ahead. We would love to be back with friends! Easy 9 out of 10.

DECK NEAR CREEK #5 w Fire Ring
We loved our weekend stay at this site! The elevated platform was nice for our tent to keep off of the dirt. Waterfall was the best white noise for sleeping. Bathroom did the job and didn’t smell bad. Electricity worked well. Treehouse was amazing! Another camper found an arrowhead, likely from the Squaw. Only drawback was the road to get to the site because it had rained and was muddy but my 2 wheel pickup had no issue. If a car can’t use the road, you will just have to hoof it. Overall great campsite.

This was a beautiful and safe spot for my first solo camping trip. Very quiet spot and the waterfall is beautiful. So much to explore and see. I never left the property and still didn’t see everything! Would highly recommend.

We went hiking and explored the property.
We even got to go fishing.

This was an amazing spot. Mostly private, only 5 spots total. The waterfall was beautiful and made amazing background noise. The family and I rarely visit the same spot twice, but we are all talking about coming back.

We loved how secluded it was. It's a very nice piece of property. Our family enjoyed listening to the waterfall and taking the hike to the tree house.

We camped here for a visit to Dinosaur State Park. It’s a perfect option for that destination. The campground is peaceful and gorgeous, right next to the waterfall. My kids loved playing in the creek. Sleeping to the sound of the water - what a treat! The hike to the treehouse was a highlight of our trip, and John was such a gracious host.

Stay was nice and you can tell he puts a lot of effort into his campsite! It was so cold the water wasn’t working though and that was kind of a bummer but everything else was great

Instructions to camp ground were easy to follow, John clearly explained how everything worked in an email leading up to our stay.
The camp area was clean and well maintained, my kids have already asked when we can go back!
