The site was clean and facilities and hookup were very nice. The site was a little tricky for us, because we have a 45 foot fifth wheel, but doable. The park was across from our site, and we enjoyed watching the parents and children. Lovely walking areas, water access at end of road. The camp hosts were very delightful and helpful. It was nice that Shelbyville was close for those last minute things we forgot, plus for that night I just didn't want to cook, great steak house and mexican food restaurants to visit.

We always enjoy Opossum Creek, once we get there. Seem to get lost most of the time. It is one of our favorites in the U.S. This site wasn't ideal but we were late in booking and had to take what was open on your first weekend of the year. The only complaint is that the shower curtains were moldy. If people would pull them closed when done the curtains would dry and not mold. Otherwise we had a fun-tastic time! Thanks and hope to be back soon.

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

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.
