We enjoyed our week stay. It was quiet and restful. We were able to ride our bikes and enjoy the restful week.

Great campground with FHU. Park was unusually quiet but may have been due to heat indexes in upper 100s.

We were so delighted to see the new bathrooms and that they're spotlessly clean! Our site was very nice, but with our steps in the back, we had to add a step stool once we leveled.

The location is very beautiful. It was very tight backing in especially in the evening. The spot was somewhat unlevel and was difficult to get to my outdoor kitchen. I have a 35 foot camper.

We had a great time at Indian Creek. There were 17 of us, with 7 campers and we all had full hook-ups with plenty of shade. The grass was well maintained and we saw lots of deer and squirrels while we were there.

We loved all the shade trees. Word to the wise, do not park jet skis in the grass.

Regretfully I find myself compelled to leave this review. The conditions at Indian Creek have been on a steady decline over the last 20 years. We used to love MTL because the showers and toilets were cleaned DAILY, in very nice shape, and had very friendly gate attendants nearly all day every day. Those things are gone. The shower houses are filthy, even the new ones, with no signs of cleaning(not even a garden hose wash) over our 5 day stay. It's fair that during the week there's less traffic, but the older shower house in our area had an abundance of algae growth that reflects it probably hadn't been cleaned in a month or better. Truly a sad state of affairs for such an exceptional lake!
