We only list amenities a source records. A missing item doesn't mean the campground lacks it, so check with South Deer Lake Campground before you go.

North Deer Lake campground has 17 sites; South Deer Lake has 31 campsites. A boat ramp is centrally located between the loops and provides lake access via Biauswah Creek.
