We really like Dog Creek as you can see the lake from most all the sites, it also quite m9st of the time and generally well cared for. However this time the grass REALLY needed cutting.

We noticed a huge difference in the cleanliness of the bathrooms. Before the hosts made sure all was great. I believe by not having employees on site it is not going to be the best place to camp and we hate that because we love Dog Creek.

The volunteers were really nice with check in and coming around to see if all was good but not being paid I wouldn’t clean good either.

Excellent view of water and ver good campground overall. The showers were not clean and some didn't have toilet paper due to staffing shortage. Thr volunteers were nice and tried to be helpful but the lack of paid staff was evident.

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
