Chokecherry Campground — Deer Creek State Park

Deer Creek State Park manages several distinct camping areas along its reservoir, and Chokecherry Campground sits among them as a drive-in facility with full hookup options for RVs alongside tent sites. The campground sits on an incline, which gives most sites open sightlines toward the reservoir and the mountains rising to the east. Sites range from small to large, with back-in and a limited number of pull-through options. Trees and lilac bushes are distributed throughout, providing some separation between sites, though tent campers should know that sites are positioned closely together and foot traffic through the area is common.

Amenities here are practical and well-maintained. Each site has a fire ring, a BBQ grill, and a picnic table. Centrally located restrooms with showers have drawn consistent praise for cleanliness, and a dump station, water, and trash facilities are positioned near the entrance. Electric, water, and sewer hookups make this a workable base for RV travelers. Fishing is the primary on-water activity at Deer Creek Reservoir. Swimmers should note that lake swimming may be restricted during harmful algal bloom events, so checking current conditions before arrival is worthwhile.

Reservations are available, and nightly rates run $35 to $60 depending on site type. Pets are permitted. Campers who want to compare nearby options within the park can look at Great Horned Owl Campground or Fox Den Campground, both a short distance away. Deer Creek State Park Campground is another option within the same park. If Chokecherry fits your itinerary, it delivers reliable infrastructure in a setting that keeps regulars coming back season after season.
