We often camp at Coon Creek. Shower houses are always well taken care of - just needs to be more of them. Always a pleasant experience.

This is a buddy site and neither site was very level. The fire pit in the left site was about five feet from the camper and completely unusable. The bathrooms are very nice and there is direct access to the water which was nice. Most sites are small, have weird placement of fire pits and some even have the electrical outlet on the wrong side. We probably won’t be back.

Spot was pretty level, no problems with hookups. Grounds were well kept and far enough apart to enjoy true peace and quiet! Campground hosts were beyond nice, letting us know hydrant locations for easier fill up, advising us on an alternative way to take care of dumping to avoid the lines......SUPER nice people! Will definitely be back again!

We were in 181 and the site is backwards...we noticed alot of sites are that way in Coon Creek. You back your camper in and picnic table and electrical box makes you put your camper with door on opposite side...big negative impact on us returning...couldn't even open our awning cause a tree was there. The pic on your website makes picnic table look farther back and its concrete...no moving that...it sucked big time

Very clean sites, bathrooms, showers lake. Nice and quiet at night and a cute little shop for any camping needs with reasonable prices. I highly recommend Coon Creek!
