There is no potable water at the campground, but water is available close by with not much effort. Almost all the spots are good for tent camping! Be prepared for the afternoons, because the wind howls through some campsites in the afternoon and evening, making cooking difficult. The campground hosts were very friendly and helpful and the vault toilets were clean and we never ran out of toilet paper. As another bonus, they actually smelled good too! Overall, this is a nice campsite!

Trash receptacles were overflowing and stunk as did the bathrooms. No campground host so people were running generators at 4 in the morning, playing loud music quite late and walking through our campsite to use the bathrooms. I will not be going back to this particular campground

Had a decent experience here with a few complaints.

The pros: nice lake with good views, decent boat launch with ample parking, wasn't very crowded or loud. Campground was clean and maintained; the bathroom near our site was very clean and stocked. Camp host was very nice.

The cons: some of the sites were iffy in terms of being very uneven surfaces with lots of roots and no good spot for a tent. One of our sites had a big tree removed so there was no shade and most of the site had the root system remaining so it was very uncomfortable without much usable space. Also, no drinking water onsite.

There are some good sites with lake access, the rest leave something to be desired. Your mileage may vary.

LOUD! No camp host around and neighbors were blasting music for hours, garbage was overflowing and smelly. This is not a place to go to quietly enjoy the outdoors.

What can I say negative about this site? Nothing!! This is a big, lakefront site that provided the most amazing sunrises and sunsets. Plus instant access to kayak. I was able to park my small trailer off the pad and down closer to the lake. Lots of options for multiple people (tent, hammock camping) or just yourself with room. Not to far from the vault toilets, so you don't have to smell them after a long weekend. Really a great spot. Plan on coming back for sure! Park Hosts are also very nice.

Great campground with amazing lake access. Our site was very large, and was well kept. Only negative to this campground is the closeness to the highway, but even that wasn't terribly overwhelming.

Our stay at Princess Creek Campground in Oregon was great! The weather was great & we had a wonderful camp site right at the water's edge on Odell Lake. The camp hosts were an older couple; I think they take care of Sunset Cove as well as Princess Creek. They were friendly, timely and knowledgeable. I will definitely camp there again!

I love this camground. Second time I have been and it is beautiful. However, the first time we went, we stayed at spot 25 - amazing for two families, water views (it is not on the water but you can see the water) and it is not too dustu. The second time we stayed at spot 30 and I have to say I do not recommend it. It is soooooo dusty and right next to the bathrooms so the smell at times was awful.

We were in site 20. This site is HUGE. The views were BEAUTIFUL and the kids could play in the water (albeit cold water). Be selective about your site and do some research. Site 29 is tiny and has a huge stump in the middle of it, but the hosts were really helpful and allowed them to stay in our site with us. The lake is really choppy and was difficult to navigate with a boat. Overall we would love to go here again. We had a great time.
