Our spot was actually a double spot, which was not made clear when we made the reservation. Our slide out was practically touching the camper next to us. There was also a big transformer power line on the shore of the lake in our camp spot as well. So beware when making a reservation. We ended up just staying one night!

This is a beautiful lakefront (direct access) campsite. In the early morning, when the wind is calm, the lake is like a mirror, serene beauty.

Hosts were great and hard working to keep the sites and facilities clean

Pros: Flat ground throughout our camp site, so you can setup your tent anywhere. Picnic table was not locked down, so you can move it wherever you wanted or where the shade was. Site is shaded by a tree on either side, which provided sufficient shade for warmer parts of the day. Fire pit was sunken into the ground, not too low but low enough to sit at night with a campfire. Drive way is long enough to fit two cars with extra room to spare. Close enough to the restroom, but not too close.Cons: Sites are a little to close for comfort, but thankfully our neighbors left early. Otherwise, with all sites filled and everyone at their sites, it would feel a bit too crowded.

The setting is beautiful. Unfortunately rec.gov cant seem to fix toilets. Theres 3 out of 4 working toilets for both loops. I think thats 23 sites. The fourth has been converted into a storage closet. Reason: its hard to find plumbers. They turn off the water on Wednesdays and direct you to toilets at the ramp. No notice posted the day before that this is the case. Picture a full bladder making it to the restroom and learning you need to go another half mile.We and everyone else has a good time IN SPITE OF rec.gov but I sure wish care, custody, and control would go back to the Forest Service or whatever agency used to manage the campground.

Nice campground close to water. Some spots are close together so get ready to know you neighbors. Camp host was doing a great job of maintaining restroom as there is only one for whole campground. Lake is less crowded now (which was nice) as some of the bigger campgrounds are closed. Next year they are going to open. Lots of beetle damage in campgrounds(trees dying and having to be cut down) and around lake some fire damage. Overall great time.

We love Deer Creek and have been coming here for years!

@AnnO1012454239 · Camped on Aug 8, 2024 at Campsite #26

Ranchera Falls was a great little hike. Very pretty on the trail and at the waterfall. Nice clean campsite #26; great neighbors shared their kayaks with us, super fun. Not very much shade in our campsite since so many trees are cut down. Good clean bathrooms.

@JonH8691770 · Camped on Aug 6, 2024 at Campsite #16

Great time here. Nice facilities, clean bathrooms.

@tishjC72E92997 · Camped on Aug 5, 2024 at Campsite #11

always clean and well maintained. camphosts were friendly.

@SarahK3888645 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #1

We love to visit this campground every year. The only real issue I have with it, is that there are only 4 bathrooms available to the whole campground and one of them has been out of order for the last few years. It would be great if that bathroom could be fixed.

@YuliaS801D6E00 · Camped on Jul 24, 2024 at Campsite #17

It's a nice place, beautifulBut the forest is very burned out, lots of flies flying around during the day.

@RyanG9772017 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #26

Most convenient access to the lake; some sites have little shade and can get hot.

@DIANAR9292269 · Camped on Jul 17, 2024 at Campsite #21

Betty our camp host was superb! What a sweetheart. The campsite was spotless.

@LauriP1855073A · Camped on Jul 16, 2024 at Campsite #13

The campground was clean & the bathrooms were always fresh and stocked.Site 13 was great because it was right on the water however there was a huge power pole and lead lines between us and the water (I just edited them out of the pictures)Nice amount of space between us and other campers. Everyone was super respectful and had good camping knowledge till the last night when a couple moved in who I guess thought that everyone wanted to listen to rap music as the sun set over the lake.

@RonaldK6773497 · Camped on Jul 16, 2024 at Campsite #16

great location, nice view

@MiaM3207629 · Camped on Jul 10, 2024 at Campsite #22

Very quiet and peaceful campground. The campground hosts were very nice and made sure I knew they were happy to help with anything I needed.

@JosephB6747928 · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #19

The Campsite was great and the camp host was very friendly, nice guy.

@sallym5060514 · Camped on Jun 20, 2024 at Campsite #11

Camp site was great. We sure did miss having the fourth toilet working! A few times there was a line to use the facilities.

@DonnaF4591064 · Camped on Jun 15, 2024 at Campsite #2

Such a beautiful place the view is stunning clean bathroom and easy place to launch our kayak. Our 16 foot trailer easily fit the parking pad with our truck

@CherylM3564547 · Camped on Jun 7, 2024 at Campsite #10

Camp host Betty and Loren were wonderful. Bathrooms clean. Campsite was raked and clean.

@RicK5267194 · Camped on May 28, 2024 at Campsite #12

My stay was great. But...a Bear came both nights I was there getting into trash dumpster that was way too easy to get into. The dumpster had a latch I have never seen before. Just lift a handle and it was in. Knowing this, he is bound to cause harm at some point. Kings Canyon NP would have parked a bear trap next to it and re-located it. The CG host came by and every morning and cleaned up the mess. I see trouble ahead.

@KarenE9134247 · Camped on Sep 15, 2023 at Campsite #18

Out campsite was #18 and it had the best views! Right next to the lake, clean campground, not too far from the restroom (which were very clean and stocked), and close to the host as well. Lots of parking right next to your campsite. We will definitely be returning!

@michaelg734741 · Camped on Sep 10, 2023 at Campsite #11

The campsite and bathrooms were very clean, had to find wood because the campground was sold out

@DonnaB6313036 · Camped on Aug 31, 2023 at Campsite #19

Huntington Lake is always beautiful. Deer Creek campground is next to lake with nice paved walking trails around edge if water. Camp sites are nicely spaced apart. Within walking distance of the beach, Lakeshore store and bar, and close to China Peak Landing

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
