Coon Creek Campground offers beautiful views, clean facilities, and a peaceful atmosphere, making it a great spot for relaxation and outdoor activities. Many visitors appreciated the friendly staff and well-maintained grounds, with some sites providing easy access to the lake and nearby trails. While some campers noted issues with site leveling and occasional cleanliness concerns, overall experiences were positive, with many planning to return.

We’d come back every weekend if we could! We loved this spot and the campground as a whole. Everyone is spread out so no one is on top of one another. We loved having a corner lot and having so much space for our dog to run/play.
There was a camp store right when you pulled into the campground, that was super convenient for the items you forgot to bring. Shelbyville is only 15-20 mi away so if you need a Walmart it’s there. We can’t wait to come back! :)

Nice bathing area, kind and courteous staff, a variety of campsites (from isolated to full hookups), and good maintenance makes Coon Creek perfect for anyone in the area. We drove 3hrs and found that almost everyone camping here was from nearby. Still, it’s worth it if you stay at least a few days.

we were in a section that had recently been renovated and had all new black top in the camp sites. It rained cats and dogs one day and it was great to have no mud or puddles to deal with.

We had a really great camping experience at this park. The cell service was good, and the campground hosts were fantastic. The only thing I would disagree with other reviewers about Site 14 is the "lake view" and the "beach access" from the site. The view is great in the fall when the leaves are falling, but we could only see peeks of the lake from this site through the trees. There was no access to the lake from our site. There is a path, but it stops, and there is a huge dropoff. Maybe if I was 15 years old again, maybe, but not now.

Not a bad park. There are very few full hook up site, but we were lucky to get one. The site we had was a little tight and close to the other sites. Overall, the park is very large and spread out. It is well kept, clean, and for a weekend, very quiet. Bonus is the small, well stocked store just outside the park entrance, so no need to spend 30 minutes running into town.

Coon creek has always been one of our favorite campsites. Even better since the revamp. Love having the beach right at the campsites, easy access for kayaks. Restrooms always clean and well stocked, even though campground was full. Also really appreciate new ability to reserve sites.
