We have camped for 2 different sites. 1A and 5A. 1A is a very good campsite with excellent view. It was a beautiful night for star gazing. Next day, 5A was next to the restroom. The restroom light was on throughout the night and we were not able to see the clear sky. That was disappointing. This campsite would be too hot in the day as there are no trees around.

Quiet place to stay with a nice view. No showers and usually too cool to take a "Coke bottle" bath, but nice for a stop along the way. Our host this year was extremely cordial and knowledgeable.

We stayed at site #9 and the ants were horrible to the point we couldn't be outside without them crawling all over you. The location of the site is wonderful and would love to go back when the ants are not as bad.

We ended up not staying here because we found out at the last minute that HWY 50 had daytime road closures and the detour was not an option for us and our RV. We only found out by accident and caused us to re-route our trip. We were very disappointed because this was a stop over we were looking forward to and traveling on 1-70 was the worst road experience I think I have ever had. Hindsight, we should have just taken our chances and waited for the 3 times that the road was open. Wish we could have been alerted to this before hand we may have had more time to prepare, but maybe next time.

We will definitely be back to Stevens Creek Campground! Although close to a main road, it is not too noisy at night at all. Very peaceful and great stargazing. Driving distance from Elk Creek Marina if you plan to rent a boat for the day on the reservoir. It was so nice to have running water, picnic tables, fire pits (with grates for cooking) and toilets at the campsite. I am used to BLM camping so this felt like glamping to me!
