We enjoy staying at Army core campgrounds. It has been sometime since we stayed at Opossum Creek. The bathrooms and shower house are clean. Some of the roads are in need of repair. Campground volunteers and Host are friendly. At Opossum Creek the check in gate is not staffed. While I appreciate the quick attention from the campground host upon our arrival, I would recommend they wait until we have fully backed into our site and set up before approaching us and causing a distraction.

We stayed at site 23 and enjoyed it the whole time we were there. Plenty of space from other sites and plenty of trees. We intend to come back.

My family loved the campground, the showers and bathrooms were very clean, the lady who cleaned them was very hard working we hope she knows what that means to all campers to see a clean facility, thank you for your hard work!!!
The only downside was the dock is nonprotected from the main body of water and it can be difficult do dock on weekends when the lake is busy with boats.

Beautiful spot, however very noisy, campers next to us playing loud music and mowers in the park going constantly. Was peaceful at night though.
