What Guests Are Saying
Spring Creek offers beautiful campsites close to the lake, with well-maintained facilities and friendly camp hosts, particularly Chuck, who is noted for his professionalism and helpfulness. Many campers appreciate the cleanliness of the restrooms and the quiet atmosphere during designated hours. However, some guests have expressed concerns about noise from other campers and unpleasant smells near the restrooms, as well as the use of gas leaf blowers, which detracts from the natural experience.

Site 35 is absolutely amazing! Chuck is such a great Camp Host. The bathrooms are always kept clean as long as people are respectful. The facility was quiet and well maintained. The bear boxes were clean, and the tables were well maintained. I believe they were actually redoing all the tables towards the end of this season!
Highly recommend camping at Spring Creek!

The camp site is very close to the water. You are right next to the rest room but because you are next to the restroom, you can smell it...that's the down side. Everything we perfect other than that

Chuck is such an amazing and professional, yet friendly camp host! The campground was very clean especially the bathrooms, and the camp community was very nice with abiding the rules and friendliness. Campsites are well maintained and clean.

The camp host was extraordinarily friendly without being over the top. Upon meeting the host it was recognized this was someone who cared very much about the campground and its campers.

The camp host was not what we expect.
He was strange and apparently other campers complained about an incident that we weren’t a part of and he pointed the finger at us.
I did not enjoy our interaction with him.
I have used springcreek a couple dozen times in the past 30 years and have never had an issue with a camp host till now

I'll start with the good, it's a very nice campground beautiful lake I had a nice campsite on the lake and the camp host couldn't be any nicer. The problem is for some reason both campgrounds here draw the wrong crowd of people they play there music to loud ,run their generators for 10 to 12 hours Non-Stop the kids run out in the street screaming at the top of their lungs and the parents do nothing about it. I was planning to not return to this campground after a few years ago experiencing the same problem . I camp at over 30 campgrounds a year and never experience the problems I experience at Frenchman lake with campers.I generally never leave reviews but I feel bad for the campground host that has to deal with this, there needs to be more law enforcement and regulations set for generators and people that have no respect for others .
