Everything was good. I am only sorry they are now closed for the rest of the year.

Dog Creek Campground is praised for its beautiful, clean, and spacious sites, along with a friendly atmosphere and proximity to Nolin Lake, making it a popular choice for visitors. Many reviewers enjoyed the quiet environment, well-maintained facilities, and the opportunity for outdoor activities such as swimming and watching sunrises. However, some concerns were raised about restroom ventilation, occasional inconsiderate behavior from other campers, and the need for better campground supervision.

Too many kids running around on bikes and adults in their golf carts.
Ok otherwise.

We stayed in C012 10/09/24 - 1013/24. This is a real pretty place to camp. The restrooms are serviced to a real clean standard. One big thing I noticed, campers were leaving trash everywhere, in the restrooms, on the campgrounds. Why can't campers be proactive and pickup their trash and do a real good trash check before leaving their site to return home? It really doesn't take 5 minutes to walk-thru and pick up trash, especially if there was a windy day or two within their stay. If trash blows at your home, you would pick it up. Please help keep our campsites clean and stop throwing trash in the restrooms and showers as well. I thought it was disgusting how people treated this campground. I walked around with a plastic bag and picked up several pieces of trash during our stay. Just goes to show you that people can be nasty campers! Now off my soap box. This campground is just beautiful. The staff are nice, polite and welcoming! The equipment around each site looked nice and very usable. Campsites were marked with reservations. I'd give the staff 2 thumbs up for what they do each day. Thank you for manning and managing the environment around this site. The boat ramp was little hairy too. People didn't read the sign that stated, "Backdown the ramp" instead they just pulled down and blocked other boats from entering the water. This was, at times, a very busy ramp. Please remember boat etiquette, to use the parking lot to stage your boat to enter the water and to recover your boat after pulling off the water. Don't recover or prep your to enter and leave the water while your is on the ramp. This impedes others from using the ramp in a timely manner. Thanks again to the staff and attendants servicing Dog Creek. Oh, the store was a nice addition, where firewood, jams, jellies and vegetables could be purchased. Remember to bring cash as it's on the honor system too.

We loved the campground. It was an absolute beautiful place. We appreciated seeing the sheriff drive through often. The only thing that took away from our first stay there was the 2 campsites across the road from us, were very rowdy until late at night and then on Sunday morning we're blaring their Mexican music for everyone else to hear. I don't know what the solution would have been for something like that, but I would stay there again, just in a different spot.
