The camp hosts were great! Toilets and grounds were clean and access to the creek was the high light. The sites are a lot more snug than you’d think with the amount of people they accommodate. It is really set up for tent camping. To right for multiple campers and cars.

During our visit we were told at Whole Foods that we needed to find this place. Omg!!!! I’m sooooo glad we did!!!🙏🏼🌸 Truly amazing and breathtaking😍😍😍😍 I’d do this over the over rated Devils Bridge any day!!! A must!!!!
ScoutGROUP CAMPING ONLY!! And honestly, not even worth it.
You need a 14-day notice to camp here. Don't bother trying to show up without notice and expect to be let in. Despite their HUGE campground, they will not accommodate quick overnight guests. Twice I've been turned away by very rude camp hosts. (Friends and I tried camping there while Oak Creek was closed in 2014). If everything else along Oak Creek is occupied go camp at Clear Creek or up to the dispersed camping near Lake Mary. Honestly, even if I had a great group, I'll take them elsewhere, their lack of hospitality ruined this once amazing campsite.
