Deer Mountain Campground

First experience here with my wife and we have to say that Bob and Donna are fantastic hosts. Very friendly and helpful with a family feel. They were amazing, checking in after the storms and rain. Beautiful rustic camping for tents. Fulfilled a nice peaceful getaway and this was great spot for the first try. Will definitely be back again! Other campers were very friendly as well.

Will definitely be back again! Other campers were very friendly as well. Very clean bathrooms and well stocked. Very well maintained sites as well P.s thank you guys for the lemon bread it was amazing 🤩

Nice, remote campground with no amenities, which I like. Just pit toilets and a spring by rte 3 by the entrance/behind the ranger's station. My only gripe is that the sites are pretty small, and very close together, and the drainage is a bit poor on the sites. We were there all week and mostly had the campground to ourselves so it wasn't much of an issue until Friday night when the place was fi... Nice, remote campground with no amenities, which I like. Just pit toilets and a spring by rte 3 by the entrance/behind the ranger's station. My only gripe is that the sites are pretty small, and very close together, and the drainage is a bit poor on the sites. We were there all week and mostly had the campground to ourselves so it wasn't much of an issue until Friday night when the place was filled! The rest of the week it was very quiet. It rained quite a bit, so even though we tried to select our site as best we could (we could see the path that the rain took, but we had limited options on where we could set up the tent), we ended up with a river flowing partly under our tent, but fortunately we had cots in the tent so even though the floor bled through a bit on one side, we still stayed dry; that probably wouldn't have been the case if we were sleeping on mats on the ground). The rangers were all very nice. Bridger was there for a few days covering and he recommended some hikes in the area, then Holly was there for a couple of days, and then Bob and Donna, who are the normal rangers for Deer Mountain for 5 days a week, returned and they were such nice people. They brought our firewood and our water jug to our campsite on Bob's golf cart so we didn't have to carry them and stopped by to chat when we were around. Rte 3 can be noisy, but like 4 cars go by all night so it's not that disruptive.

Rented the cornpopper cabin for a week, absolutely beautiful. This campground is beautiful and rustic and remote. No electric, no hookups, no cell service but that's fine. The pit toilets are cleaned everyday and are spotless. The Connecticut river runs through the campground. You are right miles from the Canadian border and nothing between campground and border but wilderness. There are trails... Rented the cornpopper cabin for a week, absolutely beautiful. This campground is beautiful and rustic and remote. No electric, no hookups, no cell service but that's fine. The pit toilets are cleaned everyday and are spotless. The Connecticut river runs through the campground. You are right miles from the Canadian border and nothing between campground and border but wilderness. There are trails to hike, back roads to explore, mountains to climb, bogs, lakes, streams to fish. The stars(OMG) are just so amazing. I have never seen so many stars. The sky is so clear you can see the milky way and satellites. The cabin is the best deal at $50 a night. It has propane fireplace, solar lights, bunk bed, futon, screened in porch, fire pit, loft and table's. Drive about 10+ miles into Pittsburg for stores, restaurants and ATV rentals and trails. There is also a spring behind the ranger cabin for water.

Wild, remote and quiet. Owners are super friendly and helpful: when my car didn’t start they were willing to drive me 10 miles south to get a cell signal. Luckily, it started eventually. Did some local short hikes, and took my kayak on the 3d Conn lake. My hopes to see a moose or bear went unfulfilled, but that’s life. Saw a couple loons and mergansers on the lake. A pesky red squirrel got into my... Wild, remote and quiet. Owners are super friendly and helpful: when my car didn’t start they were willing to drive me 10 miles south to get a cell signal.
