We love this place. The lake is so beautiful, and you can not ask for a better host. They are so friendly, and helpful. We had a storm coming in and we were out fishing when the host made their rounds to alert everyone of the storm. We obviously came in due to the rain and lightning. But the host made a special trip to our camp to let us know we should move to the shelter due to forecast 80 mph winds. Like I said, "you can not ask for a better host". It is not an easy drive to get to Buck Creek, but absolutely worth the effort.

Campground was clean, water was wonderful and views were awesome. The people working the kiosk were able to work with me on a single night stay on a Saturday. Another campground in the area was going to change me for two nights. Thankfully I found this campground.

Nice, quiet Memorial Day weekend at Buck Creek.
I would like to call out that site B02's power is located on the wrong side of the parking pad, on the complete opposite side of the site. You will likely need an extension to reach and it will run across your site, a tripping hazard, so also bring something for cable management. We used pool noodles.
Pulling up at almost dark to learn this about the power, with the nearest Walmart being an hour away, is not a great way to start a holiday.
Additional site details would be helpful.
