This is a wonderful family set atmosphere the pricing is moderate and space for campers, RVs, and tents. There as well is cabin rentals at this facility tube and raft rentals and a private pond that can be fished at by customers. It is dog friendly with picnic area and restrooms. If you have pets they are allowed to travel freely as long as they are not aggressive and there is also security for the premises. There is also a boat ramp with water access to Current River. It is for only customer and private use.
Camp host was great. Has full hookups on the upper area; electric and water available on the gravel bar under normal conditions (when not flooded). Beautiful area.
My aunt said she bought into Deer Run, so her family has a guaranteed spot. Apparently this company used to be bad back in the day, but they’ve taken on accountability and upped security and standards. I didn’t interact with any staff myself, but the environment was great!! The water was so clear and clean! The beach we set up camp at was clean, and people cleaned up after themselves. It was a nice place to spend an afternoon with the fam during a summer day.
We originally booked Friday through following Saturday…. Needless to say we are leaving early!! Bathrooms are disgusting! Party central on the weekends! NO staff or accommodating during week! We wanted to float during week with less people on the river… they told us to go into town and find someone else to do it! They offer pump out services… NOPE no staff they made a seasonal guy do it!! Our water was shut off mid week with No warning… NO staff to help had to hunt someone down!! They offered us a credited for the 2 days we left early 🤦🏼♀️
Nice little campsite. And friendly and helpful staff. We needed them in the middle of the night. And they took care of our issue.
