Great place

Don’t really have any complaints with this campground. It’s free but because of that it’s not the most developed and it’s down a long gravel road. Other than that it’s in a nice spot with beautiful surroundings and we had a great time here.

Great dispersed camp spot

Great dispersed campground for those looking for more nature and privacy. Great place to go atv or off roading. Nice little creek near by and hiking trails. Only bad thing is the vault restrooms are extremely nasty and smell even worse but overall everything else is good. No running water so bring your own water.

Dispersed camping nearby is better than campground

We were originally supposed to be at the East Fork Campground but a wildfire shut it down the day we arrived. So we drove to Deadman and nothing. And frankly the campsites were to close together and the toilet was gross. So we went maybe a half mile farther up the road and camped on a dispersed spot, by ourselves on the edge of lovely little deadman creek.

Off the beaten path

Free site, can stay for up to 14 days. Some nice flat sites, lots of trees and a creek nearby. There were pit toilets that were a bit full at the time, so the smell was quite strong, but the camp host did a great job at keeping them clean. He was also very knowledgeable and friendly. The road to get in was gravel and was a bit bumpy, but they were doing maintenance on it on the day we left. The back sites have more trees and shade than the front. Half of it was closed at the timely, seemingly for Covid.
