Deerfield Nature Park

1 ReviewAdd Review

Kayakers and hikers looking for a remote camping experience will find Deerfield Nature Park requires a one-mile hike to reach its 10 sites. This county-managed campground sits near a river with boat access available as an alternative to the gear-laden trek. The hike-in access keeps crowds minimal, with only pit toilets and basic amenities like drinking water and trash service provided.

David F. notes the landing near campsites makes kayak trips convenient, while the surrounding area offers opportunities to spot colorful fungi and other wildlife. At night, bioluminescent fungi create blue glowing effects on chopped wood. Reservations are available for the $20-$25 nightly sites. Campers seeking more options can explore campgrounds near Mount Pleasant or consider nearby Soldier lake for easier vehicle access.

Worth the Hike

You can access by boat or its a 1 mile hike. very peaceful, there is only 10 site and pit toliets.

Lots of nature, seen a lot of colorful fungas. we did 2 kayak trips while we stayed and was great to have landing so near sites.

I do recommend going by boat as the hike with gear will wear you out.

We are making this a yearly trip as it was such a good time. other campers mingled with us as a great time was had by all

One of the coolest things I couldn't get a picture of, there is a bioluminescent fungas out there. at night we seen some blue chips glowing, upon unvetigatio it was from wood we had chopped. we found a log that was full of it. it's pictured but at day so you can't see its blue glow.
