Great place to stay. The staff very friendly and helpful. We had a bit of a water leak at the faucet when we arrived and they had it taken care of quickly. The terrain is very hilly but the sites are terraced and not much leveling is necessary. Wonderful paved walking paths that take you all over the park. Will certainly be marking this one as a return when we come this way again.

The fishing was great, and the locals were even better! We really enjoyed our time at Peoples Creek and look forward to visiting again. Our site, #44, was in the Upper Park which is fhu.
