Our overall stay at Barney's campground was excellent. One HUGE caveat though... OUR ORIGINAL CAMPSITE WAS CAMPSITE NUMBER SIX, AND THAT SITE IS TOTAL CRAP. Campsite 6 has zero shade, has no place to park a camper, is right next to the bathroom, and has no water access.
The reason that our overall stay was excellent is because someone told us that there was another campsite up for grabs and we took it. All of the campsites in Barney's are fantastic, except for size 6. Site number 6 needs to be discontinued as a site altogether. I cannot believe that the Forest service leaves it listed as a site at all. It is dismal. In fact our family called it "Barney's Dismay" the entire time that we were there.
all of that being said, the Forest service does an amazing job up here in the mountains. Deadwood reservoir is a wonderful place to stay, with the campsites being pretty far apart and most of them have water access. You will drive through a lot of burned forest on the way, but once you get to the reservoir it's all green and nice. We really enjoyed ourselves. There are power boats on the lake, but not too many and not too loud.

NOT good for a trailer/RV; should be advertised as a tent only site. The site is simply a wide spot in the road and it's got a significant slant to it. Morning and evening has shade, but none mid-day. The map is completely wrong in where it shows sites 6 and 7. You turn off the main road down a small road that is between Sites 5 & 8 on the map. Site 6 is along that small road. Site 7 is at the end of that road closer to the water. It's not oriented like the map shows at all. Be prepared for horseflies and mosquitoes. The scenery is beautiful and the lake is the perfect temperature for swimming, but there's not much beach there until the water recedes later in the summer (we went early July).
