What Guests Are Saying
Cold Creek offers a beautiful campground with pleasant background noise from the rushing creek and nice trees. While the sites are close together and can be noisy due to road traffic, the flat ground provides comfortable camping. However, be prepared for basic bathroom facilities and the need to bring your own toilet paper.

Nice campground. Access to small creek. The ranger was great. Bathrooms there too. I loved it. Aside from the road right next to our site.

Nice, simple campground. Easy to find and get to, close to major road. Some road noise during the night. Very basic facilities, no running water. A rather noisy group during the first night close to our site was partying until 2 or 3 am. The location of the campground in the forest close to a little creek was lovely. Fun arae for little kids to play by the water. However, to get to the closest trailhead you need a car.
