What Guests Are Saying
Jefferson Creek Campground is a beautiful, well-maintained hidden gem with spacious sites and a peaceful atmosphere, ideal for nature lovers and families. Visitors appreciate the friendly camp hosts, clean facilities, and access to hiking trails, fishing, and wildlife sightings. However, the broken water pump and the rough access road were noted as drawbacks, along with occasional noise from generators.

We were in space 2 and area has a drop right where you open door prom camper which is quite dangerous if you forget. Also there too many large stones around the camper area you step on and twist your foot . Parking area is quite small and hard to get into. We do like the dam area it was kind of crowded and too many cars for a small area we feel. First water station is terrible can’t pump out easily. Hosts were nice

Cleanest campsite we’ve experienced in a long time. Hosts were super friendly and helpful. Access to hiking along the CT and W Jeff Creek trails from the site.
Site #14 had ample shade throughout the day. A bit of a challenge to pitch a large tent (4 person) but easier to situate a 2-3 two-person tents around the space.
Will definitely come back.

Restrooms were pretty clean. County road leading to entrance was horrible washboard (this is the Park County's fault though) once inside fee area the road was fine. Should be as they keep raising the required entrance fee. Now up to $8.
