Dutchman Campground
Dutchman Campground
Dutchman Campground offers 44 spacious, well-separated campsites nestled in Ponderosa pines at 5,000 feet elevation with lake access within walking distance to Deerfield Lake, a no-wake reservoir ideal for kayaking and fishing.
The campground features vault toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and potable water, though no electrical hookups are available; it's the most RV-friendly of three campgrounds in the Deerfield Recreation Area.
The 10-mile Deerfield Lake Loop Trail encircles the lake for hiking and biking, and reservations are recommended, especially during peak season (May-September).
