Eagle Creek Overlook Group Site is a beautiful campground with a fantastic location, featuring well-maintained grounds and friendly, helpful camp hosts. Visitors enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, scenic views of the dam, and the charm of historical stonework. While occasional train sounds may be heard, many find them pleasant, making this spot a highly recommended destination for nature lovers.

The site is beautiful and perfect for a large group, especially for a family reunion or similar event. Big negative is the noise from the highway and the train, definitely recommend bringing ear plugs if you are sleeping in a tent. The camp host is very nice, but I am not used to having a camp host at a group site and thought it was a little odd as usually you reserve a group site for privacy. Also lots of random people walking through even when the gates are locked. Overall though would definitely recommend if you were looking for something close to the metro to accommodate a lot of people.

Fantastic spot. If traffic/train noise bothers you do not use this site as the sounds can be heard throughout the site. Very clean facilities and we love the updated bathrooms. We will be going back!

This is a favorite spot, so happy it’s here to use! This place has seen some good infrastructure improvements lately. As always, Look out for poison oak! Most camping areas are cleared, but the surrounding slopes and underbrush (where the dogs like to explore) are a minor hazard.

Nancy the camp host is truly the "hostess with the mostess". She goes above and beyond, even anticipating what our needs and wishes might be. She is full of suggestions and information and knowledge.
The setting is so beautiful, and so absolutely comfortable, for relaxing, sightseeing, hiking, fishing, kayaking, exploring town, etc., etc. And a great covered and inside pavilion with fireplace if it's cold or rainy. So much room, and very special spots to tent or RV. I love this place.
