About Barney's Campground
The Barney's Campground is located on the northeast shore of scenic Deadwood Reservoir at an elevation of 5,300 feet. Boating, fishing and hiking are popular activities at this site. **Natural Features:** The campground is situated in a mixed-growth pine forest, which offers plentiful shade. Summer wildflowers are abundant. The entire campground affords views of the reservoir. **Recreation:** Because of its remote location, Deadwood Reservoir is quiet and unpopulated, making for great fishing for Atlantic, Chinook and Kokanee salmon, and rainbow and cutthroat trout. Boating, water skiing, canoeing and kayaking are popular on the lake. The primary developed boat ramp is located approximately 5.75 miles away at Cozy Cove Campground. Many trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback and ATV riding are in the area.
