Beautiful campground in the rugged hills near the lake. Very clean, quiet, yet near many lake activities and close to town. We will certainly be back and hope for the same private campsite.

This has to be one of the quietest campgrounds I’ve ever visited in 40 years. We came in on a Saturday and had people next to us but it was very peaceful. We were on site 13 where the sites are closer together than others but still had plenty of room. I’ve never seen campsites this large. Bathrooms were clean and I like how they were close to the dump station. That’s handy. Great place to camp!

We love this spot and have stayed there several times as a large group. This time was the same and very enjoyable. Two unfortunate negative comments are that the grass was extremely high for walking to the lower campsite, and we did have two tents down there, and the flies were the most unbelievable we have ever experienced. We have camped on beaches with black flies and mosquitoes, and camped literally all across the country, but we have never experienced flies like we did here. We actually made a run to Lowe's to purchase fly strips to try to help with the food, and they did make some difference. This doesn't seem to be a whole-state problem, so we didn't understand it. Again, we do love the seclusion and privacy of this great spot, plus the view and access to the lake from below. We carried inflatable kayaks and SUP down the hill and back up to enjoy a peaceful paddle.

I visit Warrior Creek for the mountain bike trails. These trails along with those down the road are very well built and very well maintained. The sites are generally clean, some are too crowded. The showers are clean, the water is hot.

The campground was nice and clean I know you can’t do anything about the weather but it was really hot and the flys were so bad. We left the next day there didn’t seem any good place to get to the lake from our campsite
