Beautiful location next to the lake, site was c116 was fairly level and we didn’t need any levelling blocks. Very close to other sites however and no privacy.

Thank you Jesus for letting us stay here! Our trailer is 29 ft bumper to hitch, with a slide out and we fit nicely in this spot! We backed in trailer/truck on angle and still had room left for bikes, picnic table under awning and chairs around the firepit. Our trailer has a solar panel on top of roof, and it was able to charge through the trees. The sun does shine in spots on site, but also shade. You can access hiking n biking trails by walking or riding through the campground. If you are over 30 and bike the trail to Apgar and back, you should really feel good about yourself. Hosts/Volunteers come around often (shout out to Terry and Bill!). We had a GNP ranger walk up at site to tell us what was going on that night at the amphitheater. (TIP:: Ask Rangers/Hosts ALL the questions because it's hard (for me) to get ahold of a Ranger/Host when outside of the park-unless you drive up to an entry point somewhere n find someone). There is a dump station, and access to water in hose at dump site (just can't do a black tank flush). If you need water inside the campground to use while you camp, it's not far from this site either! VERY nice spot! This spot really seemed to be the clearest back in site. IMO BEST site in loop B! Would def. recommend and camp at B72 again. Blessings!

We were right by the lake and the kids could go down and skip rocks and we could still watch them and not leave the fire. It was beautiful!

Campground tent site beautiful. Peaceful, clean, campground personnel helpful, friendly. Please come up with a better reservation system… too many no shows. Without wifi visitors cannot cancel. Disheartening to want to stay longer, see many empty sites, but cannot stay. Ranger station personnel have access but say their hands are tied. Please give them and park superintendents more power to control the park campground.

I was sleeping in my car, so wasn't expecting much from the campsite. Still the bathrooms were clean, the site was nice and flat if I was using a tent. I had to be creative to get my car to be mostly level since the parking area was on an incline, but I really enjoyed the two nights I stayed. I would stay there again.

We love National Parks. This is our second time camping in one. Fish Creek was very nice, but sites are a bit close. Very disappointed and frankly disgusted at the condition of the showers. we stayed three nights and never cleaned. Gobs of gross hair and general wood, rocks and dirt. No signs anywhere reminding people to clean up their own mess!! and where we’re the cleaning crews?!?

Okay, so, when I reserved this campsite the registration form gave the option of allowing to add a car and I therefore believed that I would just have to park my car and walk my tent out to a designated area. The ranger that was checking in reservations said this has happened in the past but I was able to ask a wonderful family with one car if I could park behind them for the night and they agreed. The next night our lovely camp host, Bill, allowed me to park behind his camper and even brought me coffee both mornings I was within hiker/biker. Regardless of the mix up, I really enjoyed this campground. The showers were a bit lacking but a hot shower is a hot shower at the end of the day, just make sure you’re wearing shower shoes.

Loved the location next to the lake. Many of the sites are very uneven and difficult to get into and out of with a tow along camper. Great experience though- so many beautiful hikes.
