Coles Creek campground is a very nice campground and we enjoyed our time there but it would be better if they upgraded to water availability on every site
Thanks

The wife and I frequent Coles Creek every year and love it. There are 5 loops with loop 5 being First come First serve and the rest for reservations. The grounds are always kept clean and lots of spots next to the water. Showers are mostly clean. Bring plenty of bug spray and you can purchase good firewood just down the road from a local neighbor.
