What Guests Are Saying
Three Creeks Lake Campground offers a beautiful and clean setting with friendly camp hosts who enhance the camping experience. The location is ideal for hiking and fishing, with lovely sites and peaceful surroundings. However, some sites, like #11, may not be suitable for those with mobility issues, and the campground can get crowded on weekends due to day visitors.

Great place to camp. Our campsite #8 had filtered views of the lake. The beach area was busy with people throughout the day. However, hiking, swimming and trout fishing were great! I will come here again in the off season of September where there are less crowds.

We have been coming to Three Creeks Lake every year in August for over 30 years. Like many other places it's getting very popular and now difficult to get a more lengthy stay due to the newish reservation system which only allows you to reserve the 3-4 days around the weekend. This year everyone needed a permit to hike the Tam McArthur Rim trail which was a major surprise for us. We didn't have one....and this is part of our tradition, now with kids and grandkids. All part of getting heavily used I guess - much needed but sad for us old-timers. We were also sad to see that so many camp sites were empty, even though they were reserved. So many people wanting to get a site and not able to - but many sites empty due to no shows. The place is beautiful - bathrooms have been improved the last few years. The road into the Driftwood Campground has needed work for about 20 years but is passable. The lake is small and lovely - great for kayaking and SUPing with children.

Three Creek Lake campground was very lovely. The hose, Vin, was excellent. He was friendly and informative. He also did a great job cleaning the vault toilets.

- Prevent the spread of invasive species by inspecting and cleaning packs, equipment and tires before using lake or trails.
- Please Note: One RV with tow vehicle per single site or one vehicle per tent site. Most sites can accommodate 1 extra vehicle that is not included with the reservation fee. Extra vehicle will be charged a per night fee and collected at the campground.

Once your reservation start date has begun, neither the Recreation.gov Contact Center nor the campground manager will be able to modify your reservation.
- Refunds: Refund requests made through www.recreation.gov will be charged a $10 processing fee. This fee is retained by the reservation service contractor along with the non-refundable reservation fee. All requests for the return of the non-refundable reservation fee and the cancellation fee will be declined by the campground concessionaire as they did not receive these fees (these are the fees retained by the reservation contractor, a different entity).
