Camp among the beautiful tall pines and aspen next to a stream and 2 big hills. No cell reception here (there is some just up the road) and lots of stars. First come first serve sites for campers and tents, water pump, 2 outhouses, picnic tables.
An absolutely beautiful campground! The only problem we had with it was there are no trash receptacles or dumpsters to throw away your trash bags and there's no place in Bailey to dump them and we weren't going to haul our huge trash bag all the way back to Central Kansas. Had to ask a convenience store if we could dump our trash bag in their receptacle. Other than that, a wonderful camping experience at Deer Creek and we WILL be returning next summer. I highly recommend this campground.
The bathrooms are really clean you cant camp out by the water anymore those spots are day camping only. Lots of confusion on campfires. Even though it's a stage 1 fire danger. The host of the camp didn't want fires. It's ultimately up to the host per the ranger. Very nice place. For what you pay for camping you would think they would have somewhere to put trash. You have to haul your own trash away. That's the only reason I gave a 4 star. Lovely people and place over all
Good campground. We love the streams. Rains alot so very green! Typically at least 2 hours a day during peak season. First come basis, no reservations. Within 30 mins drive of a few stores if you forgot something. Numerous trails in area. Very peaceful. Wouldn't recommend if you don't like rain. Please put your dog on a leash.
We absolutely loved it. It was quiet and beautiful and the Little Creek runs right through the campsite there were wildflowers and Wildlife everywhere. The bathrooms were kept very clean.
