Very nice campground. Easy to park on graveled sites. Site #1 that we had was very roomy. Very quiet. Camp host was very friendly. Would stay here again.

We love camping here. Our host Connie was very helpful and super nice. The camp sites are always clean, so are the shower house and restrooms. The rangers are also friendly and informative. Thank you everyone for your hard work to make our stay enjoyable.

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.

We liked our camping spot however the water leaked for the entire time that we were there, and there were cockroaches everywhere😫
