It was our first visit to Peoples Creek Campground and we stayed two nights. The campground is well maintained and the hosts are friendly & helpful. The sites are pleasant and the entire campground is nestled in a wooded draw. We appreciated the easy access to the paved Lake View Trail and enjoyed a nice long walk over to the spillway visitor center there.

Absolutely loved our stay here. The area was tidy and quiet. We had 2 tents set up and had plenty of space for our 6 people, and 2 dogs. In the future I may book closer to the restrooms. Stumbling uphill, half asleep, at 3 am wasn't fun lol. Cell service with Mint mobile was fine.

Site 11, 20/30/50 electric and water. Entry into this campground only shows Peoples Creek with a very steep hill getting into the campgrounds. This is the Lower (Peoples Creek). Only one shower house with family rooms. Nice bike or walking trail that will take you past the dam the other COE campgrounds (Redmond). New asphalt was installed during our stay.

Beautiful campground, would of chosen a different site if I knew how many were available. The reservation only showed a few sites available for reservation, but on arrival the campground was empty except for 2 sites that were also reserved.

Beautiful location, private site and all amenities one needs. Hoping to return again. Would be nice if the campground was available during the winter even if no water or sewer were available.

Had a wonderful time. Other than being windy the weather was perfect. Everything was clean and in working order.Nice warm shower but it could really use a new paint job.
