Third Creek Group Site exceeded expectations with ample space for multiple trailers and tents, providing a private experience. The site is well-maintained, featuring a spacious Bowery with good coverage. While there was some mess left by the previous group, the overall experience was positive, and the location is worth a return visit.

The pictures here do not do this place justice. There are a lot more trees than pictured and definitely more greenery. The site is huge with lots of room to play and many options for tents and trailers. The pavilion had a lot of tables and is a really good size for a large group.
There are 2 things that prevent me from giving this place 5 stars, which are, the weeds/lawn area was a bit overgrown. It would have been perfect if it had been mowed shortly before our arrival. The second is the no swimming at the nearby reservoir.
The bathrooms didn’t smell at all, which was surprising and the bugs were bearable. It is a great secluded location and we really enjoyed our time there. This site will be on our permanent list for future camping trips!

The bath room were clean and order free, the large pad around the fire pit was great. The biggest problem was the direction from the sit were not correct. It said to turn onto FS road 231 The road now is marked with FS road 1042 also county road E 300 North. We did finely found FS 231 sign in among the mail boxes. It was nice to not hear all the cell phone ringing because of the lack of signal. over all it was good.

there is nothing to do here unless you bring your own games etc. There are some good 4 wheeling trails if you have side by sides or 4 wheelers. There is fishing at the Weston Resevior or Deep Creek. It is quiet and your are to yourself which is really good. Plenty of places for trailers and tents.. Plenty of tables area and a good fire pit.

Everything was as explained on the website. Bathrooms were well maintained. Pavilion was great to spend it under especially in with hot sunny weather and rainy days. Garbage pickup or a dumpster would be nice with bigger groups camping. I’m was a great time for everyone who came. The reservoir for fishing is close by and it is close enough to get things from the neighbouring towns.
