Deer Creek Valley RV Park

Nathan Hardy

I think the first question you should ask yourself here is——what are you doing in a God-forsaken place like Topeka KS? I can’t imagine a more depressing place to be long-term: no mountains, no ocean, schizophrenic weather with potential to be catastrophic if a tornado, ice storm, or other severe form of weather rolls through. Even if the weather is clear, you’re still being assaulted by constant wind. Also, high-crime, child abductions, and literally the worst roads I have ever driven on. If you are simply passing through and staying only a night, then Deer Creek is a safe/clean option to hide and sleep. The park is all concrete, clean, and gated. If I had simply been passing through, I would have given the park 5 stars. If you are thinking of staying long-term, I would consider the KOA on the south side of town and see what it’s like there. Management at Deer Creek is overbearing, and doesn’t allow you to ‘nest’ whatsoever. They are unreasonably strict on silly things, and you will get monthly, passive-aggressive emails with threats of being removed from the park if you violate the strict rules. The manager, Hall Monitor Ron, even parked his golf cart directly in front of my wife’s truck to block her and stop her as she was driving out of the park one day, almost as if he was law enforcement. If you drive around the park at anything over 5 mph, they will notice. Yes, even if you drive 7-8mph, you are liable to get stopped and spoken to. They have a three-strikes-and-you’re-out rule, removed from the park. I was one of the few families in the park with small children. I do think it is unsafe to have people carelessly whizzing through the park at 15 or 20mph. But, 10mph or less is reasonable. Parents also have a responsibility here, and need to know where there kids are and what they are doing. Conclusion: The park is clean, concrete, gated, and has a nice shower/laundry building that is centrally located. There is a pool and playground. These are all strengths. But the experience of living there long-term is soured from the oppressive rules and the way they are delivered/enforced. When you are dealing with the public and people of all different backgrounds, there’s gotta be some grace given. Deer Creek could be just as nice, even if the rules and their enforcement were relaxed somewhat.

We paid $50 a a night and it was one of the nicest RV parks., We’ve stayed at in three years of RV.ing Large and level concrete pads, capable of handling, a large class A and a tow behind vehicle. Excellent power, water and sewer hook ups. Lots of green grass for the dogs to do their business and the largest dog park in an RV resort we have ever seen must be 50 yards long We will definitely stay here again!

We had a lovely one night stay. Very quiet and well maintained! Clean restrooms and large private showers. Nice big pool that we enjoyed on a very hot day! The spots are all concrete with a picnic table under a cover with an awning to keep it shaded and also provides some privacy! They came around to see how we’re doing and if we needed anything. Also, we actually pulled off the spot 1 minute late and no one was hover over use to get out. Thank you! My only suggestion would be to have a small bench and another hook in the shower stall since there is plenty of space. Highly recommend!

Beautiful campground ❤️ concrete roads & very level concrete pads. And a covered picnic table with a shade. One of the nicest RV parks. AT&T and T-Mobile works great here. We are only here for 1 night. Ron in the office was very nice and helpful.

Deer Creek Valley is very nice. The people are super friendly, the facilities are always clean and the pet park is the best of all the RV parks I've stayed. Between my last visit in 2023 and this year they've added wonderful wood shade structures at the pull thru sites. When in Topeka I will stay nowhere else!
