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.
