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.

Overall campground is nice. Don,t see much of the host. We were in C group. Nice large flat sites. Cleaning crew apparently does not clean the restrooms daily until closer to Memorial Day. We were there prior and we had to advise host they needed cleaning. Well maintained and clean sites.

Love going to Buck Creek. I wish the mowers wouldn’t show up on the weekend when the campground is at its busiest.
