Always a Blast
We have visited Duck Creek Campground a few times, and it's always very clean and pleasant! Restrooms sometimes are out of toilet paper, but we always bring spare rolls for any situation. But the campgrounds are kept trash-free, the amenities are clean, and the folks who keep up with everything are super nice and helpful!
On Top Of The World
What and amazing adventure. You truly feel like you are on to of the World. Very nice hiking trails, miles and miles of off roading trails for quads!!! We stayed on Loop A at the campground, beautiful and quiet. No showers and the bathrooms need to be updated, but clean and well maintained. Over all had a blast and will be back for years to come!!!

Best campsite we had so far this trip !
We are new at the RV adventure and we needed a last minute camp following a change in our schedule. We arrived quite late and had no issue getting a site, and what a sight 💕 the camp manager was available to help us and we had a amazing evening in a very isolated campsite. We took site 60, accommodated our RV and we were very close to the restroom ( super clean). Would not hesitate to come back !
