Pass Creek Campground offers a beautiful and serene setting with large, private sites near the lake, making it a great spot for families and outdoor enthusiasts. Many visitors appreciate the friendly campground host, Steve, although some have raised concerns about his adherence to rules. While the campground has clean facilities, there are noted issues with restroom maintenance and water availability, so it's advisable to check ahead before visiting.

This was our 6th visit to pass creek. It’s one of our favorites. This year there wasn’t a host so campers noise levels were louder and past 10pm and the toilet paper in the bathrooms never got restocked so it ran out. The lake was amazing especially because no boats were allowed so it was a paddleboarding paradise. Campground definitely needs a host or the host from east meadow needs to make the rounds and stock the toilet paper.

The site itself is beautiful. We started in #9, and it was by far the largest and most leveled spot we saw in the campground. Reservoir is a short walk and the water was crystal clear. Found a nice spot to setup for the day 100 yards from the boat launch. Think we even got lucky that no motorized boats were allowed while we were there. Peaceful and serene site.

If you are tent camping this is the best spot, lots of room for multiple tents.

RESERVED AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!! As we arrived to our camp spot we were surprised that the spot had been taken by other family, thankfully I had reserved 3 spots but they refused to move and we were harassed to stay cramped up in 2 camp spots. Second day the same group of people told another family they wouldn’t move and forced them to stay in camp 4 instead of #14. They kept walking into our campsite. The host was never there and this was nearly resolved with violence. They never moved out of site #5
