Description

Deer Creek Lake was designed and built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Boaters enjoy unlimited horsepower on Deer Creek Lake. In the summer, this 1277 acre lake is a popular spot for fishing and water sports. Additional facilities on the project include a marina, swimming beach, shooting range, archery range and horse trails.

Shaded sites are quite large and sites are divided by trees so that you do have some privacy. Shower house & restrooms are located close to the sites. Especially nice in the fall!

Nice park...campground wash houses are not very clean...need more attention. Camp sites are too close to one another in my opinion. Other than that, a nice place to vacation...nice beach and lodge.
