The park was very clean and quiet. The hosts were nice people who cared about your stay and were always available when you needed assistance. The main shower building needed a thorough cleaning and fresh paint. It was nice that the showers were private. There is a smaller bathroom just down the road that was new and very clean.

Love this campground and the spot we was at. Only complaint is the shower house is old and kinda gross but still useable but definitely needs upgraded. Bathrooms at the same location need better ventilation as the other new ones have excellent ventilation

Been coming to opossum Creek for years love it. But your bathrooms do need some work on the inside.
