It's a pretty good place to camp.

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.

This was our first stay at Peoples Creek and we have already booked for next yr. It was fantastic! The campground was small, and our spot was perfect! We didn't want to leave. Sites were spacious and clean. Bathroom was very clean and well maintained.

The campground was well maintained, including the shower house. The sites are close together but it's a small loop. The lake is beautiful and there are many places to hike within a half hour drive. The price is very reasonable for the amenities - electric, sewer, water, and a restroom/shower house. We enjoyed our stay.

The CG on the ridge was nice, but too close to the rode for me....I walked around the lower CG which was closed for the season, and the spots were much more secluded and off the road.

Double site which put us close to everything. Some shade from nearby trees.

A little highway noise and traffic, but couldn't hear inside our camper. Hookups are on a slope, so was a little awkward navigating at times. Next time we would move over a little more in towards the fire pit to give room on that side for accessing the hookups.

Lovely campground with full hookups and flat. Great view of the lake and close to a lot of recreation areas.
