Beautiful campground! We loved having a full hookup. Our neighbors were quiet. The campground was clean and mowed. Terrific. We will go back there for sure.

Opossum Creek is our getaway from life's hectic pace even for us Golden Age pass people. It is a more laid back campground without hundreds of golf carts buzzing around 24 hrs. a day.

Best campground at Lake Shelbyville. Psst, do not tell anyone so it will always not be sold out.

The site more than met our expectations. The park was clean and mowed. We met the "bathroom cleaner". She was so nice and kept asking if we found the bathroom and shower room clean and to our expectations. Yes we did!!!! Definitely will camp here again!

Opossum Creek campground has been closed. Very upset, this is the best campground on Lake Shelbyville. This closure will hurt the economy of the area, and they are going to loose the regulars that stay at this campground every summer. Once these returning customers find a new place to go, they will not be back, even if the campground reopens.
Very bad deal for the community, and the loyal possum creekers!
