What Guests Are Saying
Rock Creek Lake campground offers a beautiful and well-maintained setting with friendly and helpful camp hosts. Visitors appreciate the clean facilities, ample outdoor activities like fishing and hiking, and the scenic locations of the campsites. However, some campers noted the proximity of sites, potential bear encounters, and the need for better signage during check-in as areas for improvement.

Site #011 was rough. Thankful to the camp hosts for allotting us to site 015! It was exactly what we needed. Site 011 there is no space for a tent. If you dont have a RV or rooftop tent expect to sleep in the car. There is a small space with a firepit, table and bear box but thats about it. It's also close to site #012 so your crammed if you like to hang out at the campsite. Just want to keep a realistic expectation if you actually get this spot.

Excellent campsite. Its right next to the creek. Mornings are very shaded, and gets direct sun for most of the afternoon. I recommend bringing a canopy for shade to keep yourself cool and the bear box cool. As other have noted, its a bit of a walk, and might take a few trips with the wheel barrow to unload all your equipment. I think its definitely worth it.

The first rule of Rock Creek Lake is: we don't talk about Rock Creek Lake! Great place for hiking, small rock jumping, paddle boarding. Lots of fishing! Restrooms clean with flush toilets, showers at Rock Creek resort across the rd.

Site 8 is small but feels very secluded. Great for a smallish tent

The RV sites were close to level, and the spacing between RVs was good. Each site had a table, fire pit and bear box, for food protection.

The campground and campsite were both very nice and clean with the exception of the toilets. The views of the lake all around camp were fantastic and the campsite is close to many great hiking trails.
We had a blast overall and will be going back to rock creek again!
