The campground is great. Spacious sites. Quiet during the day.
Speed limit is too high though. Some people are not courteous and fly down the road not thinking about kids playing or bike riding, not to mention the terrible amount of dust.

We had a great time at Opossum Creek campground! The only complaint we had was there are no outside lights on the showers at night. When you came out you couldn’t see anything and sure didn’t feel very safe at night. The showers were located on the sides of the building with the bathrooms to the front where they had one single light. This made it really dark. It’s a great campground especially for families but they really need to address the lighting for the shower area.

Campground and showers great as always. New toilet house great but one door does not close properly. Also, there is a big tent stake sticking up that couldn’t remove and presents a severe tripping hazard. Needs removed badly. It’s in bare spot when walking towards pad from parking area. And 20’ away from pad.

Had a nice stay. The only issue that was concerning is from where our spot was (63) and getting our 5th wheel out because of the dip in the section we were on and the peak of the main road coming out I had to raise my hitch, then once out of park had to disconnect 5thh wheel and lower hitch back to proper hight. I think a Is warning should be noted when booking. Smaller trailers only.

We enjoyed our weekend. site 18 is next to tent campers so it was quiet. Campgrounds is well taken care of. Showers are ok. There was one new restroom building. We arrived on a Thursday and by Saturday the grounds was completely full.

Opossum is a beautiful campground. Each site is compacted limestone & larger than a normal campground. The only problem we found is that there are some inconsiderate dog owners that do not pick up after their dogs. We are going back to Opposum Creek again. Thank you COE for keeping the campground nice and easy to get around.

Nice shady sites. To many people think the speed limit is 30 plus mph. Need trash barrels at play ground.
