Deer Creek Campground

Amazing campground! Right on the lake and a 5 min walk to the mini store and Lakeshore Tavern!
The camp host were super nice and friendly, the restrooms were very clean and the campsites are very nice. We had #3 which was rather large and had a lot of privacy from the sited next to us.
Quick 15 minute drive to both the Indian Pools and waterfall hike.

Deer Creek Campground is one of the many campgrounds that surround Huntington Lake. I was pleasantly surprised at the recent upgrades to the campsites and restroom facilities.
The campsites all have clear, defined, level areas for tents. There are also plenty of trees to hang a hammock, if you don’t want to set up a tent. Each site has plenty of room for up to 6 people, there are also double sites available for large groups. The campsites are nicely spaced from each other so that you hardly even hear the other campers throughout the campground. Deer Creek Campground has plenty of campsites on the lakeshore, but really, every site is good.
Deer Creek Campground has a camp host that does a great job at keeping the campsites and facilities clean. The camp host also has firewood for sale (although much more expensive than if you had bought it elsewhere). The upgraded restrooms are cleaned regularly and the flushing toilets were a pleasant surprise.
There is a marina, general store, restaurant, saloon and horseback riding within a ½ mile of the campground, just in case you forgot something or want to rent a boat, kayak, canoe, etc.
If you have an emergency, like my group did, call 911. The response is much quicker than trying to find a local clinic (there are none). The responding medics were able to stabilize/​treat the injured child and advise the parents where the nearest hospital was (Clovis — 1.5hrs away). The volunteer Fire Department is only a mile down the road, but no one is there, however they have roving units around the lakes during the day.
There are a lot of trails in the area for horseback riding, hiking & mountain biking. China Peak ski resort is a 10 minute drive away and open during summer. They rent Mtn bikes to go down their slopes.
I went horseback riding one day and had a great time. The horseback rides go right past Deer Creek Campground and along the lakeshore.
I’d highly recommend Deer Creek Campground and the various activities in the area.
