We loved this campsite! The site was immaculate, the pit toilet was shockingly clean and it was a beautiful setting. The camp host was so kind, and clearly takes a lot of pride in the campground. We left wishing we had more than one night here.

A good thing to note is that the campsite is broken into A & B sides, which is not listed on the reservation. If you reserve, you stay on the B side of the campground. The A side is waterside, but is first come, first serve.

The campground host, Helen, did an outstanding job of making our stay smooth and comfortable. The restrooms were always spotless and the campground was clean and well kept.

It is close to the highway so there is a bit of road noise and the cell phone coverage is very limited. We could place and receive calls and text messages but email and FB was impossible. We were in the woods to get away from it all so this was not a big deal for us.

The sites are spaced far enough apart so that you don't feel cramped by neighbors and they are all level with fire pits and tent spaces.
This is the second time we've stayed at McCrae CG and we will be back again.

It’s off the main highway, so it stays pretty quiet.

There are no spots with power though.

Helen, camp host, was a gem. in most campgrounds facilities were dated but this lady keeps them spotlessly clean. It seems I saw her driving by hourly to check on the bathrooms. She goes out of her way to make campers comfortable and graciously addressed any questions we had. Camp spaces were not too crowded and all was quiet (which I understand can vary with different groups). River was very murky but the website was clear that was to be expected in September. Would return!

Lots of trees, nice camp site with a large tent pad if needed. Restrooms were clean and well stocked. The camp host was awesome! She was very friendly and helpful. Would recommend staying here when visiting the Island Park area.
