About

National Forest

Overview: Deer Flat Campground is a primitive camp - there are no amenities. Therefore, there are no fees. It is located along the North Fork of Deer Creek which is a small tributary of Deer Creek. The campground is well shaded by lodgepole pine and Douglas-Fir. The site is seldom used except during fall hunting seasons. Access to the campground is normally not available until June. There is no trash service, please pack it out!!! Driveway lengths for RVs are limited. Trailers and larger RVs are not advised to use this site.

Easy to acess

This spot was easy to find but we were looking for more of an adventure, and continued down this road to look at as many spots as possible before deciding.

There were places to have a fire but I did not see any restrooms. If you are looking for a pack it all in type of trip, this works well without having to haul all the camping gear too far. There is good tree coverage and it’s suitable for both ground and hang style camping.
