Great peninsula campground on the lake

Between  Google maps and poor signage, I did finally find the site. Honor system on check in

Great lake and campsite 

Second time staying at Rock Creek Campground, peninsula b. Loved the view on the way in and at camp, as the sites are mostly surrounded by water. 

Bathroom access is a bit of a walk, but if you have hookups, some of the sites have electric and water, with a sanitary dump easily accessed from just outside the campground. 

Finding it can be a bit tricky, but if you slow down and look for the camping area jutting into the water, with the bathrooms near the road, good chance you're there. Camp hosts were awesome to deal with, and the grounds are well kept. 

There is a playground for the young ones that's in great condition with decent options to play on. 

This is going to become a regular campground for us. Loved it every time.
