Two many extra cars and people on one camp spot. Made for a very noisy and crowded time. We camp as often as we can at Fishing Creek but this trip experience was not a good one. We had people yelling at their kids two-three camp sites over. Not a peaceful trip.

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

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

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!

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.

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.
