Deer creek campground sits on the edge of Huntington Lake. Many of the sites have views of the lake or are right on the lake. Although a lot of trees have been cut down due to the beetle issue in the last few years most sites still have plenty of shade or you will sacrifice the shade because you get an unobstructed view of the beautiful lake.

Huntington Lake is about an hour past shaver Lake which is about an hour from Fresno. Huntington is typically 8 to 10° cooler than shaver Lake. Temps in the summer are in the 70s at Huntington. There is a lot to do in the area Including easy hikes to waterfalls and magnificent vistas like at mushroom rock. We enjoyed driving up Kaiser Pass to jack ass meadow and Florence lake. Also, Indian pools is a great way to spend a few hours in beautiful scenery.

If you can’t get a camping spot at Huntington you can also camp at China Peak ski resort. It’s not fancy camping but it’s cheap and it will do if it’s the only way for you to enjoy this beautiful place.
