French Creek is a cute, clean little campground, staffed by nice camping hosts. We enjoyed our stay, but unfortunately the mosquitoes were out in force.

Camp host never said one word to us. Are was clean and nice, but I just won’t camp in camp ground sites again. My kids like to be loud and bring quiet after 10 pm just doesn’t work for my family. It was nice though.

Camp ground was well taken care of, bathrooms were clean and didn’t smell. Camp host was friendly! The river noise was nice though we couldn’t find where the river was.
The bugs were terrible and made it difficult to be out in the evening. Also, camp spots are pretty close together so there isn’t much privacy. Expected the lake to have a beach front but the only water access was a boat launch/not a place to swim.
