Beautiful campsite right on the water. Very clean and peaceful. One of the prettiest campsites I've ever stayed at.

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.

Site 17 was flat but in the sun. We camped in June, the weather was cool so it wasn't really an issue. Stayed 5 days. Campground was clean. People were friendly. Lots of shady spots. Tons of primitive campsites. People were using the beach every day.

Dog Creek Campground has the most beautiful views we've had camping yet! Nolin Lake is so pretty words just cannot describe. The campsites are level with plenty of room around them. The way that the sites are laid out we always had a view of the lake even when someone took the site behind us. I only have two small complaints. First, I wish the grass had been cut shorter. Second, the showers weren't as clean as I would like. Not a deal breaker. I understand with lots of people and it being the weekend that it would be hard to keep up with. If you plan to watch tv or play on your phone this is not the campground for you. Absolutely no service until you drive towards the exit or the playground. I loved that the playground was not near the campsites. This is a quiet relaxing camping experience.
