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.

Getting reservations had to be done online and not at the actual campground. We had to place our camper (motorcycle) on the blacktop surface, not really an issue. Was an okay CG, but have been to much better CG’s

It’s a beautiful campground with nicely maintained sites. The hikes are great in the park and the visitor’s center helpful with not only hiking information, but also other activities in the area.

Way too much poison Ivy. Made it super uncomfortable to have a small child there.

Owens Creek was a beautiful campsite. We really enjoyed looking out into the trees from our tent and spot in general. Unfortunately we happened to be sandwiched in-between two groups of very loud parties which was unfortunate. The sites are well spaced -- we didn't feel too crowded -- but the levels of noise made it pretty much impossible to really enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. In addition, this site does not allow you to bring in firewood. The wood available onsite was damp if not outright soaked, making for a less than ideal fire experience.
