Nice creek side camping.

And it's not too far from the ocean. Depending on when you go, it can fill up quickly. But still a pretty cool lil spot.

Nice and quiet

This campground is part of the other Rock Creek campground, just additional sites. It’s a bit quieter on this side since there isn’t day use parking. Also very close to the lake, I think I’d prefer this side of the grounds because it feels a little more private.

Nice little spot

Really Great Lake views. Dish water disposal stations, drinking water stations (which were unfortunately closed for covid as of August 2020), fish cleaning station, bathrooms, boat launch. It was $18 per night. Camp host is right near the start of the campsites. There is also a day use parking area at this campground which did make it a little busy because of fishing. Overall, nice campground. Note that the sign for Rock Creek is on the opposite side of the road from the camp ground, it’s easy to find though.
