Guess you can bring back dinner, good job, abiding! Is there a campground at Deer creek? Does it have hook ups or is dry camping? We haven't been there too many times and can't remember noticing one.

Yes. A campground around towards the dam. Was there in 2006, believe it had water and power, can't remember if it had waste hookup.

We haven't been there too many times and can't remember noticing one.There is a campground both with or without full hookups, also an area for tents. Nice boat ramp at the main state park. We have our trailer there for the summer, we go during the week usually start on monday and come home on thurs. or fridays. It gets alot of pressure during the week as well but the week ends are nuts on the water. There is no enforcement by park rangers on the lake that I have seen the camp host told me that is suppose to change this next week with with a new ranger coming on board. They have had several drownings there this summer so far. If you go out fish early and be off the water by 11 AM or so.

One thing that many don't realize is that a substantial portion of the water from Deer Creek becomes municipal water for Salt Lake City. Without Salt Lake City and the surrounding area contracting to pay the major portion of the construction (through a water district) it is highly doubtful that Deer Creek would have ever been built.
This is an interesting link regarding the subject: http://www.slcdocs.com/utilities/PDF%20Files/deercreek.pdf

How does that work? Is it still a flat daily fee regardless of how many days you stay, or is there a discounted rate for long stays - say 2 months?
