What Guests Are Saying
Pass Creek Campground is praised for its beautiful scenery, spacious and clean campsites, and peaceful atmosphere, especially mid-week. The lake offers a serene environment for activities like paddleboarding, and visitors often feel safe and comfortable. However, some issues have been noted, such as the absence of a camp host leading to noise disturbances and restroom supplies running low, as well as problems with potable water availability and reservation management.
