This campground is very lovely, next to the lake and well maintained. The wildlife is spectacular and trees on or near each site provide shade. The volunteers are wonderful.

We had a great level site with unobstructed view of the lake. A beautiful way to wake up and watch the sun set. Fishing opportunities were ok, however, it is hard to find a good spot if you are fishing from the coast. The rocks make it difficult to to sit in a level position and the grass isn't cut far enough back to gain access easily. I did not check the shower house, however, In the past they have been so gross. We now have a shower in our camper to alleviate that issue. The restrooms are in really good conditions and kept clean.
Overall, I love camping at slough creek!

We have been camping at Slough Creek for decades! The camping sites are wonderful - very spacious. Recently there have been some changes due to funding. That must attribute to the very unsatisfactory condition of the bathrooms and shower houses. If the facility is going to be open, there should be some kind of funding to pay someone to at least make these facilities sanitary! Although there was paper in the bathrooms, not once, in two weeks, was the bathroom cleaned...at all. Some of our camping crew used the shower houses and they were even worse! Next season has to be an improvement!

The campsites are incredibly close together, but the site we had was well suited to use of a wheelchair. The grounds were clean and well-maintained. The light for the restrooms near our site was apparently motion activated, so we didn't have to deal with the light remaining on all night, which was nicer than many sites we have used.

Campground is in the very back. There is a shelter, no “bathroom” like the West Group Site. Dog didn’t get any ticks like the West Group Site, but he got infested with fleas. I realize this is all a part of nature and that’s fine however it is still a pain to deal with.

We had a nice campsite on the water with some shade which was great. We really wish, though, that the firepit locations were better thought out. Ours was at the back where the view to the lake was blocked if sitting by the fire. Since the lake seems to be the main event, that makes no sense. We looked around at other sites and many of the firepits were at the back and also in close proximity to the next-door site.
The bathrooms were not very clean and had no soap. I used the bathroom one morning, leaned over to flush it and the water blew up in my face! Ugh! Guess the water pressure had really built up.
