What Guests Are Saying
Snake Creek is praised for its great campground atmosphere, clean and well-maintained campsites, and beautiful views of the lake, making it a popular choice for families. However, there are notable concerns regarding the cleanliness and functionality of the restrooms and shower facilities, with issues like lack of hot water and drainage problems. Additionally, the presence of bugs and some maintenance needs, such as filling tripping holes, detracts from the overall experience.

Had we known the grass was so deep with sticker burrs, we would have brought a lawn mower. If grass is unkept, could we get a notice on our reservation reminder?

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!

The water coming out of the hydrants was yellow, ants everywhere, goathead stickers everywhere I wouldn't recommend camping here.

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 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 35ft 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.

We stayed at site 91. Older part of the park. Very nice and quiet. Few thorns not good for puppies. Other part of the campground has been renovated. Several FCFS

Other campers had extremely loud music from about 7:30 untill well after 10:00. Even inside the RV with the tv on it was bothersome. to add to the bother it was Karaoke so the vocals were not good at all. Quite hours were not observed at all.
We did not see very many park rangers drive through compared to what we used to see. We were there on a Holiday weekend so that was surprising.
It was still a very enjoyable time, even with the less than desirable entertainment and Snake Creek is still one of our favorite places to camp.
