What's new at Deer Springs?
RV Site in Wilderness RV Resort!
With any luck, Deer Springs RV Park will be adding another site to our rental program, this one in Sunny Florida at the Wilderness RV Resort in Silver Springs Florida. Jim & Trish be visiting the property this coming weekend, and if the site visit pans out, we’ll finalize the transaction.
This is a Class A and Luxury 5th Wheel Exclusive site in the gated Preserve Estates section of the park. The site has a 16′ x 32′ under cover deck with bar area, refrigerator, TV and BBQ.
There are easements on the side and rear of this site, making it quite large and offering more grass area than most of the other lots in the park. These easements also offer a straight shot from the RV lot to the club house and pool. (See plot map below. )
Assuming a quick closing and a few minor improvements, this lot should be ready to rent shortly.
Boondocking Sites
We are adding two boondocking sites for the 2023 season. While the term “boondocking” generally refers to camping without amenities, these sites will have water, sewer, and free Internet.
While both sites will have a good southern exposure, the degree of solar gathering can not be guaranteed as the foliage changes depending on the month. Your generator is welcome as long as it does not exceed 60 decibels at 50′ from your camper.
Site #9 is a pull-in site, so it is suitable for motor homes (Class A, B or C) only. 5th wheels and travel trailers are not compatible with this site. Site #10 is a pull-through site that will accommodate all types and lengths of RV. Both of these sites will have a fire pit, picnic table, free Internet, and beautiful short and long range views.
These sites are not currently available for online booking as they are still in the development stage, but when completed, they are expected to rent for $35.00 – $40.00 per night.
Lots of firewood!
We now sell firewood to make your evenings just a little bit warmer! You can purchase our firewood package for $20.00 and enjoy unlimited firewood for the length of your visit!
Site #7 upgrade
Site #7 has been widened by approximately 15′, and will now accommodate motor homes up to 45′ long. 5th Wheels and Travel Trailers are still limited to a maximum length of 36′, as your tow vehicle will need some room to hook/unhook.
We still have grass to put down, and a firepit to install, but it’ll all be ready for you when we open next season in May of 2023.

Maximum Visit
We have extended the maximum stay from 16 days to 30 days. This new rule will become affective for all bookings made for the 2023 season that are made after October 18th, 2022. If you plan to stay longer than 30 days, you must make a site change.
Nightly / 7 days / 30 days (Fall rates are slightly higher)
- Standard RV Sites – $65 / $60 / $55
- Premium RV Sites = $70 / $65 / $60
- Premium Plus RV Sites = $75 / $70 / $65
- Boondocking Sites = $35
Cement parking pad for Site #1
Site #1 now has a cement parking pad large enough to park a 45′ Motorhome and still have plenty of extra pad to put your chairs, tables and Solo stoves on. This new pad makes leveling a non-issue and gives you plenty of walking room so as to not drag leaves and other things into the coach.
This has always been an awesome site, but the addition of a cement pad makes it one of the best sites we have. You’re gonna love it guys & gals!
Specials !!!
Our booking software requires a minimum 3-night stay, and sometimes a couple of nights will become “orphaned” between bookings. In the examples below, there are three, 2-night stays that would not be available via the online booking software.
But these dates can be booked if you call and request them.
- In the August example, you would check in on August 25th at 1:00pm, and check out on August 27th at 11:00am.
- In the September example, there are two opportunities. In the first example, you would check in on September 21st at 1:00pm, and check out on September 23rd at 11:00am.
- In the second example, you would check in on September 26th at 1:00pm, and check out on September 28th at 11:00am.
For those visitors who live within a couple of hours of the park, this can be a very satisfying and inexpensive mini-vacation!
You can use the availability calendars located here to browse availability at each of our sites, and hopefully you will find a 2-night special that works for you! If you are interested in booking one of these 2-night stays, please contact us at (828) 349-5440. Or add your email below and we’ll notify you as they become available.
Starlink Internet Data Caps
On July 24th, 2022, we installed Starlink Business Internet and it has provided a noticeable improvement over the ViaSat service we used all of last season. Starlink had been a wonderful addition to the park, but on December 1st, 2022, Starlink announced that it would cap data usage to 1TB.
While that sounds like a lot, it’s barely adequate for a park our size. In an effort to continue providing free Internet, we have blocked streaming services like YouTube, Netflix, etc., as they are the main source of data consumption. You will still have access to your emails, Facebook, Pinterest, and all your other favorite social media sites.
If you feel you need streaming services during your visit, you can purchase Premium Internet for $5.00 a day, which will give you the ability to stream most services. The quality of streaming is beyond our control as the Starlink service depends on availability of satellites in an area as well as the volume of traffic those satellites are handling at any give time.
You may purchase Premium Internet at checkout time.
Minimum Visitor Age
Applies to all bookings made after July 1st, 2022
While we strive to provide a memorable camping experience for everyone, our park is designed with a focus on the more mature visitor. As such, all guests and visitors must be 12 or older.
