What Guests Are Saying
Snake Creek offers a welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff and well-maintained campsites, making it a favorite for many families. The campground is typically clean and provides a pleasant environment for relaxation, although some recent visits noted issues with overflowing trash and malfunctioning shower facilities. Overall, while there are areas needing improvement, particularly in restroom maintenance and pest control, many campers appreciate the natural beauty and quietness of the park.

The park looked nice after being closed for a few years.
There needs to be more policing of the loading ramp dock. It seems people are using it for a private marina. At one point there were three boats tied up with only one access for loading/unloading for the boat ramp. We had to climb in their boats and over other parked boats to get to the dock. In addition, one person with an at least 35 ft twin I/O Baja just left his boat tied up there!
Also, there was a domestic dispute that required three OHP officers to intervene and take drunks to jail. Only after a fist fight and it was reported that three people were knocked out! Fun family times!
Not the parks fault just a break down in society.

Grass was not mowed and was knee high at campsite. Water was brown coming out of the hookup, and this park has no cellular service. Not a very pleasant place to stay.

The grounds are in excellent condition, free of debris, overgrowth. The restroom and shower facilities were clean, serviceable and safe. Heated water temperatures were perfect. The Gate Staff were very friendly, helpful and showed great interest in our satisfaction and were very visible around the camp sites as well. We enjoyed our stay there from the very first minutes on the camp!! The lake view and surrounding features are so beautiful. Even the late night storms presented an abundance of beauty and exhibited mighty resilience!!! The surrounding towns; Vian, Cookson, are very friendly and welcoming to strangers like us ! We even made some new friends at the local tire repair shop there!! A flat tire was NOT going to deflate our unforgettable experience!!!!
We HAD to go back home ONLY because we had to maintain our lawns! That was the ONLY REASON FOR US TO LEAVE!!!!
See you in a couple of weeks!!
BIG SHOUT OUT to the Gate Staff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Recreation.Gov!
