Barneys Campground

πŸ“Œ Warm Lake And Deadwood Res Area πŸ“ 44.327556,-115.648034 β›° 5,330 ft
Barney's Campground is located on the eastern shore of Deadwood Reservoir. It is shaded by a pine forest and is rather remote. One would think since it is rather out of the way that it wouldn't be busy, Wrong! It is very popular and reservations are recommended.
