Campground is nicely laid out, sites are not too close. Only negative was no signage for water fill station. No one at check in mentioned it and drove the loop several times looking for the spigots.
Positive note the bathhouse was clean and overall grounds were very maintained.
Will definitely return!

Really a great campground, clean and peaceful. However, it was very hot outside during my visit. There were only two cool restrooms, one being the shower house. More full hook ups would be nice. The only shower house was so far away from our site, we would not be able to walk to it. The grass was really tall; we were there just under a week. no sign of mowers to be seen. There was an incident across the road from us, a branch fell from a tree after a cracking sound and fell on a camper's truck at that sight and did considerable damage to the hood. that branch and one more that fell shortly afterwards laid there and was still there when we left. Check campground on a regular schedule and remove fallen tree debris when needed.

A quiet campground with nice access to lake. It has level sites that are easy to set up on.

Had a great time at Coles Creek. As always, the campground was clean and quiet. We got lucky enough to get a site close to friends who we spent every evening with. Had a small problem with electricity but that was taken care the day after we reportit to the campground host. We will be back.
