About Deer Flat Campground
The Deer Flat Campground is a primitive camp. Since there are no amenities 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.
