Camping is very enjoyable, just wish all the tables had a cover over them so i wouldn't have to use my canopy and worry about the wind and rain destroying it. also, holes are developing in the surrounding grounds that need to be filled in for the vision impaired so they don't fall. (ME)

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

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.
