What Guests Are Saying
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.

The campsite was clean and beautiful. If you arrive at night, the campsite entrance is very dark and not well marked. If you are not careful and continue straight, you will drive your car down the boat ramp and into the lake. Some better signage would be appreciated.

Showers never warmed up, and were filthy where it looks like campers were washing out the sand from their suits from the lake. Dumpsters were full. However the electric site hook ups were newer and worked well. No water hook ups. Please replace the toilet roll dispensers as it's impossible to get a decent serving of TP out of them. But you can't beat the price with the Federal senior pass.

We love Dog Creek Campground. Number one, the restrooms and shower houses are clean. Well maintained. While we like some sites better than others, there is really not a bad site there. B31 is our favorite but like several others also. I like B loop, but A loop has some nice ones, depending if your wanting lakeview sites or shade sites. Go check it out, you won’t be disappointed! And yes we have 3 kids who enjoy it as well.
