What Guests Are Saying

Wolf Creek Campground offers a peaceful retreat with great views and clean, mowed sites. While lake access is limited due to low water levels, there are still enjoyable swimming spots and sandy beaches for boaters. However, the campground lacks some amenities and support, such as electric hookups and regular maintenance of fire pits and garbage disposal.

Nice stop along the way in our journeys. We hoped for better lake access, but the lake is so low that we could only get to it by a trail heading down the bank. We were spoiled by Cass Lake in Minnesota which is clear and sandy, where this lake is muddy and rocky. Still it was good to cool off.
The site was fine and the views are great. We arrived on a Sunday and the place was packed. But Monday we had the place to ourselves. We took advantage off the trash and dump and fill. Lack of electric was no issue as we are solar powered.
Also, the road in was very washboardy, but they graded it before we left and it was a huge improvement.

The water was a little low this year but the campgrounds were clean and mowed and the weather was great. Our boaters found many sandy beaches to play on and all the sites in the lake were beautiful. Many things close by such as the Garrison Dam, the spillway, Audubon, and good places to eat in Riverdale, Pick City and Coleharbor. All in all, great places to camp when you want to get away but not too far away.

Our stay at Wolf Creek Campground was quiet, largely because there were very few campers during our visit. The campground is primitive, so amenities are minimal, and there was no campground host on-site. We noticed the sheriff driving through several times and only saw the park ranger once. With inclement weather in the forecast, it was concerning that no one stopped by to explain where campers should go in the event of severe weather, especially since there are no storm shelters and the vault toilets don’t appear structurally safe for protection. We couldn’t help wondering if the low number of campers was related to last year’s closure. Overall, it’s a peaceful spot, but visitors should be aware of the limited support and amenities.

Fire pits are never cleaned out nor is garbage picked up in the campsites. For as much as this campground is booked you would think that they would go to electric sites like there is at other Core parks. Rates are great but understand if there would need to be an increase in rates if electric was added. Maybe consider adding an additional dump station. Rangers drive through but no interaction with campers.

Camp host needs to enforce generator running after 11 pm. Some runs there's all night. Need two dump station for all the campers. One not enough.
