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 feel like this years camp hosts just don’t care. I have stayed at this campsite over 8 times this year and over 10 last year. The major difference being the lack of any “work” done by the camp hosts this year. Wood has consistently been left out in a pile in front of the wood shed, uncovered and poured on by the rains we’ve had. It has been at times almost impossible to burn. The worse part is there is a huge tarp right beside the wood shed that could be used to cover the wood, yet it has never been used.
We are asked to donate $5 for wood which is more than reasonable when it’s wood that you can actually burn. The hosts this year never clean up the sites from camper to camper like last years hosts did. The hosts this year are hardly seen or even at the site itself on many occasions.
Overall the campground is still nice but the lack of burnable wood, the sites having excess amounts of charred logs in the fire pits from the previous camper is just a real let down.
My hope is that next year this will change. I want to be able to leave a positive review on apps like The Dyrt and and on here going forward.

Quiet, well-maintained campground with low occupancy midweek in late September. Honor box for firewood is a great feature; we made sure to leave a good donation in the box at the end of our stay. The campground is a short drive to several scenic hikes and there's a short nature trail from the campground that connects to a couple other trails as well.

The dense forest and the site on the hill had a good atmosphere, and above all, the site gap was wide and clean. But it's a shame that it doesn't open even in the winter.
