One of the cleanest and best-run campgrounds we have been to over many years. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, did a great job- if only they could all be this good!

We really enjoyed Sharp Creek. Upon arrival the campsite was immaculate. Literally raked dirt to perfection. The restrooms were so clean and well lit. We hiked back to the creek and the kids had a blast, including a little play time in the water. Would definitely go again.

We LOVED our stay at Sharp Creek. We stayed a total of 10 days and absolutely enjoyed ourselves. It is peaceful, quiet, and very clean (probably the cleanest outhouses in the US!) and well kept. The hosts are friendly and do a great job of checking you in. While there are no trails from this camp ground, trails are close by. I highly recommend starting off of highway 260 (just a few minutes from the camp, driving) to "Trailhead 260". From there, you can enjoy a couple of different trails. Go early since it can get warm, even in the late fall. If you want quiet tranquility this is it, esp through the week. On the weekend, you do get more visitors and sometimes you hear generator noises, but overall, a pleasant experience.
