What Guests Are Saying
Fiddle Creek offers a clean, well-maintained, and spacious campground that provides an intimate experience with nature, close to the beautiful river and swimming spots. Families enjoy great memories here, though parking can be challenging and some sites may feel crowded. Visitors should be prepared for mosquitoes at sunset and note the absence of potable water and campfires, but overall, the experience is positive with friendly service and clean facilities.

No potable water and no campfires allowed and the campsites 9 and 10 where the trail is to the water smells like a nasty dead animal.

Pros: Campground and vault toilet were clean and well-kept. Cons: Campsites are close together with no privacy, campground is too close to the road so there’s traffic noise and, at night, headlights to deal with, and mosquitoes were pretty bad.

This is a magical site that I return to year after year, such a gem. The fire in site 4 was not level and very full, maybe fix that to mitigate wildfire risk?
