I have always had no trouble or problems camping at Peoples Creek. However, the rec.gov website is a little difficult to use. The website has never let me reserve consecutive days at the same time.

The campground was nice, pretty, very shady. Our site had a LOT (not just a few pieces) of trash (cigarette butts, bottle caps, etc) all over and the water spigot leaked, someone had a plastic bag tied to it because of the leak.
A lot of traffic on road, very fast moving cars. Not your typical COE.

Great little camp site but I have noticed the Corp of engineers seem to cater more to rv campers would like to see the fire pit cleaned out more often its hard to keep a fire and grass was over grown making bugs a nightmare but overall it's good camping
