Stayed on spot 19 for four nights. Right in the edge of the water. Beautiful campground with full hookups.

As always we love camping at coles creek. However our campsite this time had a pile of gravel on half the site, as if it was where the original pile was they used to regravel the other sites. That was unsavory. The bathrooms were very clean and well stocked with soap and t.p. We look forward to going again when the beach has reopened!

The campgrounds are always clean. Seems to be some construction going on at that time and the grass was quite high between the campsites.

We liked the campsite sizes and ease of backing our camper into them. I love that this side of the lake has a pet friendly beach, I just wish there was safe walking path all the way there. I'm nervous for my kids to walk that far on the road's shoulder. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained. We also like the Wifi access in case of emergency.
