The campground is clean and quiet. Campground is set in and amongst mature trees making this a great place to camp for a few days

We have been camping for many years at sharp creek and we love it there because it has always been clean and organized it unfortunately this time we can’t say that the restrooms didn’t get cleaned the whole time we stay there and that’s the main reason we like staying the because the restrooms were always cleaned once a day and didn’t smell bad I don’t know what change but they need to pay attention to this because we’re not the only ones that noticed it.

Quiet campground with lots of space between lots. Pit toilets are, well, pit toilets, but the campground is great.
