Easy check in, clean site, had fun. Only problem is the campsite host pressured us to leave a half hour before check out, even when it was clear that we were already loading up the car.

I’ve stayed here twice now and I love it! The secluded, private beach area is perfect and the camp host takes great care of everything. It’s not that expensive and it’s a great location.

We didn’t have a camp host for the first few days and it was obvious as the noise level after 10 was still not great, but we love Mack’s Creek and we loved being there.

My first time camping here. It was before Memorial Day weekend and there were not many people or boats around. Birdwatching was fun. Weather was great. The campsite is right above the road, so you look across the road to the lake but traffic is not bad since you are close to the dirt road that leads to Arrow Rock reservoir. No hookups. Generators are allowed. The ramp and the docks are for campers only. I enjoyed it. There is no cell service here, but my Zoleo worked fine.

We really liked the site itself. The perfect amount of space and I loved having the covered patio. Couple downfalls. First is the creaking of the docks all night long! Also, someone rolled into the campsite at 2 in the morning shining their headlights and flashlights on our tent. Slamming their car doors and setting up their tents while everyone else was sleeping. Wish there was a way to prevent them from entering the campsite at that hour! Perfect for day use.
