Deer Creek State Park
RV Guide

At Deer Creek State Park, there are a variety of places to park your RV camper for a night - or maybe even two or three. In fact, there are 232 RV camping sites in total, and each one of these sites offers electric hookups for your convenience. When you stay here, you’ll have access to nearby showers, flush toilets, and even a dump station. You can also cook outdoors on the provided campfire grill and eat at the large picnic table. Pets are allowed as well so go ahead and bring Fluffy and Fido.

Great camping spots and amenities aren’t the only good things about this campground though. You’ll get to enjoy discovering all that there is here. Play some basketball, volleyball, mini golf, tetherball, horseshoes, or even just play on one of the two playgrounds. And if you don’t want to have to walk in order to make your way around different areas of the campground, then you can rent a bike at the camp office.

If you brought your other four-legged family members besides the pooches, you are in luck at Deer Creek State Park because they have an equestrian campground and plenty of bridle trails. Located in the northwestern part of the park, the Horsemen’s Campground is nestled in the woods near a pond where your horse can get a drink or cool off during the summer. There are three campsites, which can each accommodate an RV or trailer up to 40 feet long.

Even though there are no utilities at the Horsemen’s Campground, you can cook outdoors on the provided campfire grill or use your own camp stove or BBQ pit. The large picnic table seats eight guests so you can all eat together rather than balancing your food on your lap in a camp chair. Furbabies are welcome here too; just make sure you keep them on a leash or otherwise confined during your stay. Reservations are needed and can be made up to six months in advance online or by phone.

Whether you have a large family gathering or a big group, you’re all set here because there are two group campsites near the Horsemen’s Campground that can accommodate up to 100 people. The sites are separated from each other by a pond, so you will have plenty of space and privacy for your party. The site has six picnic tables that can seat up to eight people, so you may need to bring a few camp chairs as well. You will find pit toilets and potable water spigots nearby for your convenience.

You’ll also have a large campfire pit with a grill to cook on. But with a big group, you may want to bring in your own BBQ pit or camp stove as well. Pets are welcome here too so go ahead and bring your fur buddies along with you. Just be sure to keep them leashed or crated and properly supervised at all times. Reservations are required and can be made up to six months in advance.

Cabin camping is a great option for if you want something a little nicer than camping, but not as extravagant as staying at the lodge. There are 22 standard cabins and three with two bedrooms available by reservation. Both kinds of cabins can sleep up to six people. The two-bedroom units have two sets of bunk beds in one room with a double bed in the other. The standard cabins have two sets of bunk beds in the bedroom and a pull-out queen bed in the living room. Reservations are required, which can be made up to six months in advance. Several of the cabins are pet-friendly, but you must let them know when reserving your spot.

The cabins are tucked into the middle of the peninsula on Deer Creek Lake so that all of them give you a beautiful waterfront view. Each of the cabins have bathrooms with showers, a full kitchen, living room, and dining area. The living room comes with satellite television and seating for six. The screened porch has a seating area as well and the yard has a grill, campfire ring, and picnic table for outdoor cooking and eating. Towels, bedding, and kitchen utensils are included as well. Whichever kind of cabin you choose, you’ll feel right at home.

For a different kind of cabin experience, the Harding Cabin is off in its own private area of the park right on Deer Creek Lake, off of Marsh Walk Trail. This historic retreat used to be a presidential vacation spot and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The cabin can comfortably sleep eight guests with three bedrooms, a full bathroom, and fully furnished kitchen. There is even a gas fireplace in the living room with free Wi-Fi, a television with satellite, and a DVD player.

You will love the housekeeping service with daily towels and linens provided for your convenience. If you would rather cook outside, there is a large BBQ grill and picnic table for up to eight people. The indoor dining room table seats eight as well. The screened-in porch overlooks the lake so you can enjoy the beauty of the outdoors without the pesky mosquitoes and other critters. Make your reservations early because this is a popular rental, especially during the peak season.

Deer Creek Lodge features 110 guest rooms, and each one offers fantastic views of the lake. There are several options for you to choose from. The king guestrooms have one bed that sleeps two, queen rooms include two queen beds that sleep four, bunk rooms sleep six with two queens and a set of bunks, and the loft can sleep eight with two queens and two sets of bunks. The king suites sleep two but also have a sofa and sitting area, and the queen suite has the same but can sleep four with two queen beds.

Each room has a refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, and deck. When you stay here, you’ll get to enjoy using the indoor and outdoor pools, whirlpool, and exercise room.
