We had a very interesting time at this campground. We are searching for a campground we can visit both to and from our primary destination a couple times a year. The campground is relatively easy to access from the main highway nearby. Once you get here, it turns into a dirt and gravel road with enough pot holes to make you a bit uncomfortable in varying elevation changes. The office gal was friendly and escorted us to the spot. The space was so tight that we were forced to run over a neighbors fire pit in order to squeeze in. We have a 28' travel trailer. The roads had washed out due to recent rain, and we were concerned with getting stuck due to the angle, elevation climb, and wet conditions. You can see where the road washes out a bit during rain. The road and surrounding area is also covered in leaves and general natural debris, which adds to the trickiness. It was quiet at night though, and the people around us were permanent residents with old run down trailers. I wish we could say we'd come back, but the building list of drawbacks and concerns will prevent that. We won't be back again.

its all camper there, not good for weekend tent camping, no privacy, very very bad management and very rude and disrespectful, felt like being in a HOA community if you want to have a weekend get away this is not the place. your manager is a lair, quite time starts at 10AM, she was bothering us since 6PM, and we went into the tent 9PM, since we didnt want her to take our peace we woke up at 8AM what noise are you talking about, on top of it her ducks actually disturbed our sleep like i said, worst people and rude management, even though we left campsite super clean, they were lying about we leaving trash behind.....very very rude people PS: new owners you need to pay close attention to your employees, i see a lot of negativity to your camp ground on socially media specifically after the ownership change.

The wife and I wanted to spend our 40th anniversary some place beautiful, warm, quite, great view of the lake, close to the river, & family oriented. Deep River Campground checked every box that we were looking for and then some. We were welcomed with Happy Anniversary balloons hanging from our site marker post, and a card was placed on our windshield, we weren't expecting that! We lo staying here>ve our stay here this week, and look forward to coming back in the near future. We definitely recommend coming by here for a relaxing visit.

We were shocked when we returned to Deep River this year. The atmosphere is nothing like it used to be back in its hayday. The place is a ghost town now. No kids to be seen all weekend. The only campers seemed to live there. What's happening with the website because it seems to be from a completely different campground? Another family business destroyed by commerce? Zooland Campground is a great option.

This campground is a hidden gem! Over Memorial Day weekend two of the owners were there to escort guests to their sites. The maintenance crew was hard at work. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. The bathhouse is spacious and was very clean. The new ownership is paying close attention to necessary improvements and actively implementing those improvements.
