What Guests Are Saying
Guests had a great 6-night stay at Wilborn Creek, appreciating the clean and well-maintained bathrooms, easy-to-level campsites, and convenient access to the boat dock. The pavilion was particularly useful for group cooking, and the fire pit was enjoyed by all. Although the beach was closed due to high water, the overall experience was positive, and guests plan to return next year.

We stayed for 6 nights and enjoyed it very much. The bathrooms were clean and maintained regularly. The sites were all clean and easy to level campers. Access to boat dock was close. Pavilion was very useful for all our group cooking. Fire pit was used and enjoyed. Guest had plenty of room for parking as well as our boat parking. The children enjoyed riding bikes around site since there was no traffic from other off sit campers. We are definitely booking for next year. Only problem the beach was closed because of high water and that left only 2 open 20 to 30 minutes away.

The experience was great, but we all wished you had electric in the pavilion. We had to run cords from the mens bathroom and have a small generator. Also no lights in the pavilion. Again, electricity. But….. it is a great facility other than that and we improvised. We appreciated there was not much vehicle traffic.

We enjoyed our private weekend with friends. Our guys had to clean pavilion because it was full of leaves & spider webs. No lights or electric outlets in pavilion - had to run an extension cord from men’s restroom! Men’s restroom was disgusting and smelled horrible! Women’s toilet had not been flushed or cleaned before we arrived! Mutual fire pit was falling apart ! Best part was we had a private campground as we rented the whole place & were with good friends & plenty of homemade food!
