Excellent campground especially for the cost, site 55 is very spacious we had a 40’ toy hauler and even had the ramp down with room to spare between the nose and the road. Very quiet and relaxing, tons of shade in this spot as well.

Great place, quiet, beautiful weather. Lots of people but didn’t feel like they were right on top of us. Not far from boat ramp, had a great time kayaking.

This camp was a very nice stay, it was a gated camp which is always reassuring. There were always people around and near town so groceries were never far. The water and electricity were always good and steady, we had no issues with service either. There were many outdoor adventures around it, a great location! Bathrooms were kept clean and the amenities were well kept as well.

Great campground. Sites were nice and level, we were on site #10. It’s quiet and relaxing. The lower bathhouse is clean and nice, but the upper one really needs some updates. But we really enjoyed our trip and plan to come back.

This is an excellent, well maintained facility that's forested with tons of opportunities to utilize densely wooded hiking and biking trails. Camp hosts are friendly and very effective. Restroom facility closest to this group of camp sites is a vaulted toilet. A very nice restroom facility is available about 1/4 mile up the paved road w/ standard, plumbed toilets and shower facilities. Roadways within the facility are very well maintained. Shade is ample at the sites throughout the day. It's a very nice place and we'll definitely go back and try other camp sites here.
Site 46 is fairly level, left to right, but inclines about 6 inches on our 33 ft Class C wheelbase. Most of the other sites in the loop seemed to be level. Privacy between spaces 45, 46 & 47 was minimal. SITE 44 is AWESOME w/ OUTSTANDING PRIVACY and access. Snag it if it's available.

Warriors Cheek is our favorite place to camp. It’s spaced out just right and the sites has shade for those hot camping days. We have see deer every time we camp at Warriors. This past time we saw two right at our site. So keep your eyes open.

This was our first time at Warrior Creek since 2020 because of the ongoing repairs. We enjoyed the privacy of the tent site (#5) and the nice view. 'Because of the storms coming through, we had adjusted the timing of our stay and we enjoyed good weather. The park was clean in every place including the vault toilets, the shower house, and the sites themselves. The only reason I gave this park a 3 rating is because the swim beach is just a disaster. There is a good deal of sand on much of the beach, but there are places near the water that are just mud. The lake bottom on the beach is just nasty -- much gooey clay, embedded with sharp sticks, and if you're not careful you can lose a swim shoe trying to get out to the deeper water (only 4' this year). The water level was so low that my 9 and 11-year-old grandkids could walk out to the furthest pole/marker without going over their heads. The yellow floating barrier at the outermost area of the swim beach was missing. I was disappointed that, with all the other repairs, the beach area was not dredged out and repaired to offer a better swimming experience.
