What a stunning campsite! We absolutely loved the campground. We were there for Christmas and it was cold but we had no problems with our full hookups. Wooded sites with a view of the lake. The sunsets were amazing. We would definitely love to visit again. Highly recommend!

Very nice and clean facilities. The park attendant was very friendly. Camp site was clean and had a great view of the lake. The kids really enjoyed riding their bikes down the trail. Hope to visit again soon.

Having water, sewer and electric at a site is a plus that most camp grounds don't have. This is a very appreciated accommodation.

This was a great place to camp. Full hook-up sites. There are lots of attractions in the area; too many to name. We really enjoyed the Christmas lights at Redman Creek.

Relaxing park! We stopped here on the 2nd day after purchasing our travel trailer. Michael the host was great, very knowledgeable. Helped us get settled being newbies and all. We hope to return next year.

My wife and I stayed at People's Creek last weekend to wrap up our camping season. Overall, the park is very nice and we had a great stay. We even had four Trick or Treaters on Halloween evening. Our only complaint of the campsite as we were literally next to the busy highway. Trucks and cars zoomed up and down the highway all day and all night. There was a ton of traffic and no natural barrier to block it from the view of our site. When we sat outside of our camper, our view was the small shopping plaza across the street with a barbecue stand in it. We got to watch the comings and goings of patrons to the food stand and watch the owners fuel their smoker all day long. Not a very relaxing and enjoyable view. I am not saying that we would never come back to People's Creek but we are never staying in Site 40 again. We would definitely move a lot farther back into the campground.
