Colonial Creek North Campground — Ross Lake National Recreation Area
Reviewed Aug. 20, 2021

Too busy, not enough privacy, loud families

FYI, there is 130+ campsites here, and every one of them were packed to the brim. I saw reservations people made for a whole week! This is not a free campground, unless you find an open spot which is almost impossible. And if someone reserves last minute they can kick you out. A lot of families here with rowdy kids. If you're fine with that then it may suit you. It probably depends on what camping experience you want. I'm from out of state, solo, and free camp. I guess based on reviews here i didnt fully gather how packed it is here. There arent many other free camping choices around. I thankfully found an open spot at another camp that didnt get snatched from me.

All is to say. Either reserve a place or stress out finding an open spot, dont expect privacy, and have a backup plan!

Also, i was here on a thursday and it was soooo packed still. I got there at 4pm and no room.
