What Guests Are Saying
Coon Creek offers a beautiful and peaceful camping experience with clean facilities, well-maintained campgrounds, and friendly staff. Many visitors appreciate the picturesque views of Lake Shelbyville and the quiet atmosphere, making it a favorite for families and nature lovers. However, some concerns were raised about the lack of fish cleaning stations, narrow parking spaces, and the need for improved arrival hours for campers without reservations.

Well kept, clean, friendly staff. The only problem was that apparently somewhere in the woods behind us was a septic pump or something for the bathrooms? When the breeze was a certain direction the odor was a bit uncomfortable. Learned a bit about those sites for next time.
