Deer Creek Campground and River Outfitters

Located down a hilly gravel road (big RVs be careful). Small campground with water+elec. We booked for mid October with some friends (4 campers) and we had the whole campground to ourselves. The main season is when people floating the nearby Black River stay. The campground is a little run down and there really aren’t pads to park on, but most of the sites are flat. Outside firewood is not allowed. I’m told there’s a “small fee” to use the dump station. There’s a pirate ship play area for kids. NO road noise. It was considered off-season so the owner was on call (you could text) and their store was closed. Lesterville and Johnson Shut-Ins St. Park are nearby.

Campground is going through some upgrades. Facility is a little outdated, but the owners are super nice, and keep the bathrooms and grounds really clean. They just installed a large pirate ship for kids, and have a creek close by to let the kinds unwind. The park is more suited for tent campers, as the sites are all grass and they are not really marked well. They only have a handful of 30 amp spots. The park is relatively close to most of the areas amenities.
