Nice CG, ugly lake
Kings Creek CG is a very nice facility nestled uphill from an ugly drawn down reservoir. The CG has 38 sites ($19/$9.50 senior) all FF no reservations. Nice toilets, tables, fire rings, and water spigots scattered around. Lots of nice shady sites is a plus. However no dumpsters and absolutely no cell signal or wifi network. Host onsite and a big plus is the RV dump. Only 4 stares as negs are 7 miles of the worst dusty road, no cell signal and an ugly lake. Go to Pine lake above Bryce if you want all the best and more.
