we like the fact that the campsites are spaced well and that the water is easily available for refilling our jugs

This is one of our favorite campgrounds because the sites aren't one on top of the other and it is usually quiet.

This is beautiful campground. Perfect for spring and fall camping. Would probably be too hot in the summer months. Campsites are spacious. We stayed in 14 and had tons of room.

Campsite was clean. Campground was quiet and tranquil. We did have cows roaming around but or kids loved them. Camp hosts were super friendly and kept us stocked with firewood.

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.

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.
