This is a popular campground for families and fishermen that want a place to relax and enjoy the beauty. This campground is located in a heavily wooded area next to a quiet lake. Little Cultus Lake has a gentle sloping bottom making it ideal for wading and swimming. Hiking and mountain biking are other nearby opportunities. There is a boat launch area within this campground.
Little Cultus Lake (aka Deer Creek) is a nice change of pace from the larger lake campgrounds in the area. The lake is 175 acres and has plenty of rainbow and brook trout. There is a boat ramp at the campground, but please note there is a 10 mph speed limit on the lake. Most of the campsites are well shaded and this is a great place to cool off during the heat of the summer.
Fees: Per night, per site fee: $14/first vehicle; $7/each additional vehicle. (2011)
Usage: Light
Water: Potable Water
Restroom: Vault Toilet
Restrictions: Maximum site spur length is 30 feet.
RV Camping: Most sites are recommended for 30 foot RVs or less. One of the reasons for this is because the roads are gravel and rutted, fine for tent campers, but not good for the large RVs.
