The campground was very clean and peaceful.

We live in the area and Dutchman is by far our favorite campground. We try to book a campsite there at least once a year. We're tent campers and there's plenty of flat space for tents. It's beautiful, clean, quieter, the lake is no-wake, and the host is always so kind. Us being paddleboarding folk, we love the no-wake requirement. Highly recommend Dutchman!!!

Large Pine tree near our camp spot (#28) was hit by a lightning strike during a storm. We were asked to move for safety reasons to any free 'first come, first serve' (walk up) site. Thought we should have received some $$ back since we had reserved the first site and the walk up site was less desirable. Hostess was very gracious. Could use a policy on these types of situations in the future. Lot of work to move.

Camp host was great. Nice large campsites. Farther walk down to the lake than I expected. Bathrooms were nice and clean for pits!
@AndrewS4701634 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #26
The campground is always well kept, from the sites to the restroom facilities. We always look forward to camping here! The only downside is the proliferation of generators which really take away from the peaceful surroundings. Sure wish they would reduce the generator hours to one could enjoy the peaceful sunsets and sunrises. We've taken to visiting in the off-season instead of summer because the drone takes a lot away from the experience.

Great location. Camp host was friendly and helpful. It was a beautiful location. Just what we wanted
@HopeKF5CBF383B · Camped on Aug 29, 2024 at Campsite #17
Fabulous sites, clean restrooms and a great Camp Host!
@SherryL7414280 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #11
It's our favorite campground. The spots are large, lots of trees around, clean bathrooms, and it's very peaceful.
@AlisonCC79CADB · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #37
We have stayed at here four different times this year. The camp host was always friendly and helpful. Even helping use repair our camper by giving us some screws. The camp sites are clean and the area is beautiful. We recommend staying here.
@DuaneH7204084 · Camped on Jul 21, 2024 at Campsite #32
Beautiful and well kept campground.
@LorenW1757FE48 · Camped on Jul 15, 2024 at Campsite #29
Site was not as expected from the description or pictures. Difficult to utilize with my truck camper and utility trailer. Pit toilets nearly unusable. Dirty and horrible fly problem. Good base for exploring with the SxS.
@OwenMC69BCE244 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #41
Beautiful campsite. Within walking distance to Deerfield lake and a view of it from some of the campsites. Well maintained and cared for. Best part was there were no bugs at any point of our trip
@RoryOE33804637 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #11
We spent 5 nights at Dutchman. The outhouse was never cleaned during our stay. There were empty toilet rolls on the floor on day one and where still there when we left. Also, why do the campground host come to you as soon as you pull in. They should let you get back in and setup before coming to you. It's like they sit there and watch for people to drive in. You make your reservations online to they know you have already paid.
@DavidB5075483 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #41
Great sites, lots of shade. Not a lot of bugs when we visited the second week of July. Camp host Curtis is awesome, will deliver firewood to your site.
@JenniferM11870 · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #38
Beautiful, cool, quiet, and spacious.
@DylanB4991515 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #28
Quiet campground and beautiful site. Good view of the sunset over the reservoir.
@LauraP2587889 · Camped on Jun 19, 2024 at Campsite #26
Due to my preference for reserved status rather than the gamble of first come first serve, I had to reserve two sites to make my 13 day stay. We secured site 26 for 8 nights and 27 for 5 nights. Both are amazing sites, very spacious and have mostly level spots for a couple of tents. 26 has a better view of the lake, but 27 is more shaded and closer to the bathroom. Camp host Curtis went above and beyond to ensure I could charge my phone without draining my car battery dead, he was very helpful and thoughtful. He gave us many ideas of things to see and do, and though we mostly just went to the lake with our kayaks to explore and fish, his recommendation to use the laundry at Mountain Meadows was very helpful to us long- stay campers.
@VirginiaG35261 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #34
Campground was clean. Host was very friendly and helpful. Toilets needed cleaning.
@NathanF1429768 · Camped on Jun 12, 2024 at Campsite #15
We had a great time and our camp host Curtis was awesome and very helpful.
@LauraP2587889 · Camped on Jun 11, 2024 at Campsite #27
Camp host (Curtis) went above and beyond to ensure our stay was a good experience. After the initial recommendations for things to do in the area, he came up with more ideas and recommendations to help match what we were looking for as tent campers that were staying for 13 days (nearby showers and laundry). He came to our rescue a couple of times by giving the car battery a jump start.
@RichardS712869 · Camped on May 28, 2024 at Campsite #27
Loved the area...Host, Curtis, very accommodating. Weather only negative this trip.
@SarahOFE1109A3 · Camped on Aug 27, 2023 at Campsite #12
The only thing that I didn't like was the map has the bathrooms located in different locations than they actually are.
@RitaLA2EAB1D3B · Camped on Aug 19, 2023 at Campsite #9
Curtis was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable about the area.
@KarenAM7CA4000 · Camped on Aug 17, 2023 at Campsite #10
Camp host VERY helpful, solved a problem we had quickly and courteously.
@BrianS9986332 · Camped on Aug 15, 2023 at Campsite #38

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
