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.

My husband and I typically backpack but chose this campground due to the amenities, beautiful alpine lake and easy drive for some out of town guests. We were so pleased with Jefferson Creek!! The host was so friendly and attentive. The bathrooms were very clean and water pump was very useful. The little river running along the campground provided hours of fishing and exploring. We just wish the trail to Jefferson Lake was more clearly marked if you are intending to hike there- it's very close to the camp host's trailer but almost blends in with the surroundings. We hope to return some day.

Jefferson Creek is one of my favorite campgrounds. It was peaceful and quiet, with a beautiful river nearby. We saw lots of wildlife, which made it even more special. Would definitely come back!
