There are several good generators out there anymore, and a few pretty marginal ones also. For a deer camp, I would think a generator should work pretty good. I buy several brands through my job and have had good luck with Kubota and Honda. Not quite so good of luck with Coleman.
One thing I might mention though. Fabsroman mentioned his parents using a generator during a huricane. Check with your power company about how to hook up a generator to power your entire house. You should use some sort of disconect that will isulate your house from the outside powerlines. If you are doing anything other than powering something with an extension cord from the generator, you can put voltage back onto the power lines if you don't. If I understand what the linemen I work with are telling me, the transformers that step the voltage down from the power lines to your house, actually do the reverse and increase the voltage when it is coming from the house back onto the line. Linemen out repairing lines they think are dead for miles around are then working on energized lines. Linemen are suppose to ground the lines before they work on them though as a precaution to protect theirselves, which will either blow your generators breaker or damage your generator. But if you are only powering something from a generator to the appliance via an extension cord, you should not have to worry about it.
