The weather was beautiful. When we arrived we found at least a hundred cigarette butts on our campsite. We asked the camp host for a rake and shovel to clean them up. We were obliged. Once cleaned up and out of reach of our children we had a great time. I in no way blame this campground for the shameful actions of a previous camper. We know it was one camper because the cigarettes were of one brand only. I am ashamed and disgusted by the behavior of this camper. I was taught to leave a campground in better shape than I found it. This is what I teach my children. Other than this issue everything was wonderful. The restrooms and showers were kept very clean. We will be going back to this campground in the future.

Buck Creek is by far our favorite campground. The grounds are well kept, clean bathrooms and the Park Attendants are always so friendly and willing to help. I can't forget to mention the incredible views!!!
