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.

Nice place to stay. I wish more sites were available to reserve instead of first come first serve. Coon creek is a 2 hour drive for us and if all reserved sites are booked, we risk showing up and having all the first come first serve being occupied. Camp store is nice. It offered items we forgot to pack and the ice cream is a bonus

Sight was clean and above expectations. People working at the campground could not have been more helpful or pleasant. Certainly will be back.

We are very impressed with the campground. The sites are spacious, hook up is easy. The park is well maintained and it is very nice to walk the trails and watch the wildlife and birds. Our "neighbors" have been congenial and helpful sharing camping tips.
The rangers and staff have been most accommodating. We have one cute story to relate. One evening a pretty lab came to our door and started barking. Thinking she was lost my husband used our dog's leash to take her down to the ranger station only to find out that she lives on a nearby farm and comes over for visits. Needless to say we released her.
We had two separate instances of bad weather and both times we took shelter in the concrete bath house near us. There were quite a few of us in there but the storm passed and no great damage was done.
Our only suggestion would be to update these smaller bathrooms. They are in need of repair.
We intend to return to the campgrounds often. It is a short drive for us and we are familiar with the nearby towns.

Our campsite was level with great shade. Plenty of room to park our boat along side our camper. We enjoyed watching the squirrels and deer around our campsite. The gate attendants were friendly and our checkin went without a hitch. We will definitely be back.

Coon Creek is a very nice, clean campground. Large campsites, a little grocery store just outside the gate. They have a nice playground on the northside of the campground. The only thing I can say bad about our experience is the late check-in. Checkin is at 5 PM. But on the flip side, you don't have to get up and rush out of there. check out is at 4 PM. Make sure you have plenty of wood or blocks. Some of the sites are very uneven. But overall we will go back.

Great staff. Great location. Clean facilities. Went twice this year. Both experiences were a lot of fun. Will definitely be back in a few months when it warms up.
