North Creek Campground

The gravel road going around the tent loop was really loud, and there was a cabin behind our site that had a lot of activity and noise for awhile, but all was quiet after 10p. There was a bear warning on the picnic table, but the very kind hostess said she hadn't heard of a sighting in a year or more. The creek that ran beside our site was a comforting lull. The sites were pretty close together, but we didn't have anyone next to us, so ours was quiet. There were several families in the area. It was good for a one night stay when other parks were full. The bathrooms had pit toilets. No showers that we saw.

Based upon earlier reviews , I had higher expectations of this site. It does have the attraction of two converging creeks but the campground itself lack character or charm. Not a lot of privacy, particularly middle sites.
