Owens Creek Campground offers a serene and well-maintained camping experience with spacious, private sites nestled among trees. Campers appreciate the friendly and attentive hosts, clean bathrooms, and complimentary firewood, enhancing the overall enjoyment of their stay. While some noted occasional noise from other campers and the need for trail maintenance, the peaceful ambiance and natural beauty make it a desirable destination for future visits.

I really like this campground and how many hiking/biking trails it contains nearby. Two items of constructive criticism. First, I don't understand why only one car is allowed. If you're meeting someone there and driving from separate places, you have to have two cars. Two cars fit fine at the campsites. So why the manufactured limitation to one car? Second, the dogs at this campsite were extremely annoying. There was at least one that barked its head off all evening, and starting again early the next morning. This is the responsibility of the people who brought the dog, not on the Park Service. But I do think having a ranger or a campground host to ask the guest to keep the noise in check would have greatly helped the experience. Sadly we live in a time where social norms are unraveling around us, and I'd be willing to bet that 20-30 years ago the owners would have been ashamed of the barking and would have actually tried to quiet the dog. But alas. As things go, it would have been nice to have some official supervision to keep noise in check.

Very loud people acting like it was a bar most of the night. Screaming children at midnight at barking dogs.
