White Oak (Creek) Campground

I am a big fan of CoE campgrounds, but this White Oak Creek experience might change that, and a major part of the reason is the recreation.gov system that effectively removes the campground staff from the customer service system. Couple that with probably tired, possibly not completely trained, but definitely not helpful staff at the entrance and we had a very bad experience. From past experience, when I reserved a campground online at another CoE campground only to get there and find the site unusable for a motor home, I learned that I first needed to go the campground and ask about level sites and how far the sites were from the showers, then reserve the site. The staff at White Oak Creek insisted they were fully booked. Even after I showed them the web site with open spaces at their campground, their only response was, "then book it." I said I would do that but wanted to know which sites were level and close to showers. Very little help beyond "you must use the web site." I finally wound up booking a site they said was level enough for a short motor home and based on the map it looked close to the showers.

The grass needed to be cut. It was up to our knees when walking to the water. The ants were horrible. The tree’s need to be cut back some of the limbs hang so low they are on the campers.

Very nice park. Lots of camp sites with adequate space between sites.

I stay here a lot. This trip is the worst I’ve had. The park was a mess. Grass has not been cut and our slot was a mess when we got there. Trash on the pad and burn pit was full of garbage. Not the usual experience we have.

We love camping at White Oak however, during this visit we were very disappointed with how unkept the grass was this time, it was absolutely terrible !!!!

I think my campsite was 92. . It is on the point right by the lake. It was shaded in the afternoon and evening it was great hearing nature communicate through the open skies. We brought a tent and the tent area for our site was great!

A couple things I didn't realize when I was there that may be helpful to someone in the future. I couldn't see the sunset from my campsite. My daughter and I walked around the point a little to get where we could see it. It was GORGEOUS! And the geese were nice to us. The grass was a little tall, but it didn't interrupt anything we were doing. I brought my dog so he was rolling around in grass that was pretty thick. There is a little sand beach to the left and right of our campsite. And the water was maybe two feet deep at our campsite. It is super accessible. We went fishing off our little shoreline. We got some bites but didn't reel in any big ones!

The electricity was readily available. Bring an extension cord just in case! The fire pit was great. We could grill right on the fire ring with a movable grill. The bathrooms were clean...and cool! Parking was easy for our one vehicle. I think our spot could have had two cars in the parking space.

Would highly recommend this campground if you're in the area! A little about my party. It was me, my four year old daughter, now five, and my 120 lb Bernese Mountain Dog. We had a great time and would stay here again if we were in the area!
