About

Deer Creek State Park Group Campground serves as a dedicated youth group camping facility within one of central Ohio's premier state parks. Located approximately 2 miles from the main campground along Park Road 20 past the campground entrance traveling towards the lodge, this group camp provides a separate area for organized youth groups to experience the natural beauty of Deer Creek State Park. The park sits in the heart of Ohio's agricultural country in Pickaway County, surrounding a scenic 1,277-acre reservoir. While the group campground offers a more rustic camping experience designed for youth organizations, campers have access to the broader park's amenities and activities. The main park features extensive hiking trails, a swimming beach, boating facilities, an 18-hole golf course, and excellent fishing opportunities. Deer Creek State Park is a true vacation destination that balances modern resort facilities with outdoor recreation. The group campground provides youth organizations with an opportunity to connect with nature while being part of a larger park system that includes a full-service lodge, marina, and comprehensive camping facilities. The park's meadows and woodlands create an ideal setting for group camping experiences and outdoor education programs.
