What Guests Are Saying
Brandy Creek Primitive Campground offers a peaceful and fairly private camping experience with individual composting toilets at each site. While the campsites are exposed to the sun and wind, the abundance of trees provides necessary shade. Although there are no facilities, the nearby beach and the sound of a creek enhance the overall ambiance.

The trees and brush are slowy starting to grow back. The sites are pretty exposed, so hot sun during the day and windy at night. Other than that, they are nice, out of the way, fairly private campsites each having their own composting toilet.
The undergrowth is coming back with a vengance, so while there's an abundance of dead wood to harvest, getting to it will be challenging without a lot of bushwacking.

Good spot, away from the lake but that was ok, pretty quiet if site below is quiet. I would stay there again

We stayed at primitive campground 02. It was easily large enough for the three of us. Two picnic tables, fire ring and a bear box. It’s level and was clean. The rest room was close but not too close and it was very clean with no odor at all. These sites are up the hill and remote. There were people at site 01 but it’s 100 yards away from 02 and we never heard them. If you like to be by yourself, sites 01 and 02 is the place to be. We will definitely stay up there again!

This can easily be confused with the RV park. Google took us to the wrong place.
