TravelerUnion creek
Great camp site. Electric and water hook ups, great camp hosts, close to the water.
GuideBig group camp sites
We’ve been here a couple of times with trailers and about 10 other families. Their groups sites are next to each other and allow big groups to stay together.
LegendClean and convenient with hookups
For us this was an overnight to have water and dump capability after nights without. It was a very pretty campground in the trees. The water level was VERY low in Sept 2020. We were able to get in some good walking. Clean campground, nice hosts, lovely area, except for the lake. We'd stay again if in the area.
