We had two sites since we camped with our daughter and grand kids! We had a blast! The camp grounds are clean and beautiful!! We can not wait to return!!! As a matter of fact we had some company that camp at PC park, which is across the lake; they have decided they will start camping at fishing creek because it was so nice!

Nice clean camping. Restrooms/ showers clean. Most campsites are close to the water. Playground and picnic area for day use. I just didn't like the fact you must have reservations. There are no first come first serve. I can't always make reservations.

Fishing Creek is one of my family’s favorite camping destinations. It’s quiet, family friendly, and best of all we love the waterfront sites.

This was the best campground we have ever camped at with our truck camper. We had electric, water, shade and water front view. No sewer hook-up, but the dump site was easy to get to. The site was large and clean, with a perfect view of the river. Take some peanuts with you and put them on the fence posts early in the morning and the birds and squirrel's will visit you, so have your camera phone ready; plus some very large birds will sit in the trees watching for the jumping fish, so bring your fishing boat. Hiking on the road is a one mile circuit, which is mostly in the shade, I got up early and walked for three miles; my best is years.

We really enjoyed tent camping at Fishing Creek! The space was great and fit our 5 room tent and outdoor kitchen. Electric and water were handy. Other than some noisy neighbors the first night it went well. Beautiful area. Great amenities for the price. Will definitely be coming back and will recommend to others. Oh, the man who checks you in is very nice! We appreciated how we walked around each night checking on everyone!

Poison ivy growing up the railings and into the camping area. Needs to be sprayed. Campground was great as usual but host was kind of rude

Easy access to boat dock, campsite and main road. The beaches were littered and there was only one hiking trail.
