Deer Run Campground

Very lovely walk with my family through the woods. Mostly easy terrain but a couple areas where pretty steep but manageable.

Nice and quiet. Very large sites.

Deer Run Campground is a 'sister' campground to Hickory Point Campground, which is part of Sangchris State Park just south of Springfield. It is a GREAT campground. Sites are not squished together, meaning you are not staring into your neighbors widows. Electric at circles A n B. Most sites are 30 amp but I believe there are some 50amp. There are water hydrants in middle for filling up water tanks. Each sight has a cooking fire pit and picnic tables. It is quiet, spacious with young and old trees for shade. Sights are gravel and level, and somewhat short. Basically you can't put a 30ft trailer in and stay close to hitch. The only grip is that most sites are not angled, making it a challenge to back in a 30ft trailer with out having to use grassy area. Depending on site choice, if you need to fill your water tank, you'll need up to 300/400 ft of hose. Host is available from which to borrow hose if necessary. We camped with a 30ft travel trailer, and would camp here again.

Nice friendly host clean bathrooms the trails are loaded with mosquitoes good camping shady sites some cool sites for tent has horse camping camp sites good space a part
