French Creek State Park Campground
Reviewed Sep. 22, 2022

Weekend Camping

We decided to use French Creek to introduce our toddler to camping. All in all it was a good experience though the campsites were pressed very close together. There were two very bold raccoons who kept raiding our neighbor's campsite since they kept their food out but that was to be expected.

I will say the experience with one of the rangers was a bit uncomfortable. He was pretty aggressive with how he approached people. There was an older couple who parked their truck on the grass while trying to maneuver something with their RV and while yes, they're not supposed to park on the grass, the way he went from a crawl to speeding up on them, aggressively jumping out and squaring off his shoulders like this old couple was about to throw down with him was weird and excessive. Later he also put his car in reverse and sped backwards to "catch" someone breaking another rule. And again, they were in the wrong sure but there were kids biking on the road and people walking back up the hill so him doing that seemingly out of nowhere threw everyone off.

I honestly would not be surprised if he was the one people said they saw going through people's belongings. But the other rangers that I actually interacted with were very friendly and very helpful.

Beyond that, the bathroom was wet but not disgusting and had showers. We didn't hear any loud parties after 10pm. There was a water pump next to our site and the bathrooms were a quick walk. We're definitely going to continue using this place as a quick and easy camping spot.
