The campground is situated on a bluff overlooking the reservoir. All sites have lake views. A mixed-growth pine forest covers the campground, offering plentiful shade. Summer wildflowers are abundant.
Recreation: Because of its remote location, Deadwood Reservoir is quiet and unpopulated, making for great fishing for Chinook and Kokanee salmon, and rainbow and cutthroat trout. Boating, water skiing, canoeing and kayaking are popular on the lake. A boat ramp is located on-site. Many trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback and off-road vehicle riding are in the area.
