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.

Larry, the camp host, is friendly and responsive to question and concerns.
Due to increased campers during COVID, there is more trash than usual. Trash pick up has increased to 2x/wk, but there was still trash overflow in all bins.
We go to Pass Creek several times a season; it’s one of our favorites.

The Camp Host was Excellent, His name is Larry. I’ve been staying here for Deer season for many years and love the area. Fishing can be hit or miss according to the fish but when they are biting it’s quite a good spot.

No hookups, but campground is clean and facilities are well maintained. Boat ramp and staging area are in excellent shape. No cell service. Plenty of hiking and biking to be had if you’re not on the lake. Caution, this is a remote region and wildlife is abundant.

Pass creek is a cool place to camp! Walking distance to the water. Lake is big enough to paddleboard, canoe and boat. No hook ups. Picnic tables and firing are available.
