I've been camping here since I was a toddler. Such special memories even though a lot has changed.

Beautiful campground, wonderful hiking. Silver Creek Plunge is fun to swim in. The only bad part is everybody seems to have motorcycles, side-by-sides and 4 wheelers; and the owners allow their kids to do a zillion laps on these machines right in the campground which makes it noisy. Although these days, I'm sure that noisy motors can be an issue in any campground.

This was the first time for Us to stay in the Campground, Everyone was pleasant and we enjoyed it. What we didn't enjoy was the FOUL and VULGAR Language from Other Campers close to the Pool, and grounds. It was brought to the Owners attention and they didn't do anything about it. We Will Never Come Back Up.. to this location. Sorry.

Waaay too crowded for my liking. People pulling into the campground at MIDNIGHT, making a big commotion. Sites are too close together and people are riding a lot of motorcycles and 4 wheelers in the campground. Not for children..
I'll be looking for a quieter more peaceful place to camp.
Facilities nice and clean, tho. Hosts excellent.

The road from Crouch to the campground is the worst. Needs to be maintained better...at least graded occasionally. I will not subject my truck and trailer to that much punishment again.
