Spruce Creek Park

The campground is very pretty. Being on the water is beautiful and from what I saw I’m sure it’s nice. However the weekend we went it was not. The weather wasn’t the problem. The problem is how the weather was handled. If you need ANY assistance or guidance from the host, good luck. I was met with attitude and zero empathy on where, how or what to do when our camp site was ankle deep in water. No help at all. Zero. When our camp was destroyed the next night from the storm - not one person came to see if we were ok, needed assistance or anything. Only thing we got was they we could NOT leave the metal from our pop ups and had to get them to the dumpster. When all my daughter and I wanted to do was leave as it was still storming and there were employees EVERYWHERE with skids. They cleared a path to our spot from a tree down in less than 2 minutes. There was zero reason to not let us leave under the circumstances and knowing we had a long drive home in the storm on top of.
I contacted the board and was told they will use this for further training. And they were sorry. I have read several reviews on other online platforms and all is wonderful ASIDE- the host. They have a big problem and until it’s fully addressed- stay clear. It’s simply not safe.
It will be a wonderful weekend for you as long as you need no assistance. I don’t think they like to be bothered.

I took my children here for years when they were little. As a single mom of 5 it was very manageable. I could see them throughout the entire park. There's fishing, exploring, a playground, and when you see a paddleboat you have time to drive to town before it hits loch & damn #12. It's a beautiful spot right on the river with views galore. Go to the other end of town and up the big hill for some nature. There's a butterfly 🦋 garden, hiking trails, a lookout where all 4 states are visible. There are also Indian mounds, which is apparently a secret now. The town is quaint. It has changed very little in 25 years. Cute little shops, inexpensive food. If you want to cool off there is a nice place as you come into the park (another campground) that has a nice bar and great food. If you are into Harleys, it's a 20ish mile drive south across the bridge to Savannah Illinois to "Poopies" Bar. It's a riot and the food is great with huge portions! You will see Frank Press' (American Pickers) place as well, but it truly is not worth the stop. If you travel 15ish minutes North you can see the crystal caverns, my kids loved it. If you have not been in a cave, I recommend it, but I've been in mammoth cave so it's not impressive to me. There's a lot to do!
