Great camping spot. We had a hiccup when we arrived, as the system double-booked the spot, and when we arrived there was someone else set up. We talked to campground host (who is no longer there, as that was his last day as host) and let us pick a different spot.
As for the location, we had access to the creek and had a great time. We went crayfishing, and managed to catch around 10 (having another 10 escaped us because our jets were too big.) I would be returning again. When we went, half of the campgrounds were closed due to an invasive plant.

Love this site !! My only complaint was it states river access and while their was a trail it was steep and treacherous and muddy even in July. I wish the trail leading down to the water was better maintained!

The campground was run down, bathrooms were disgusting , and the swimming area was ankle deep....The online photos looked nothing like the campground.... Very disappointing...

While campsite was a nice size with a mix of shade and sun, there was no access to the Creek. It was completely overgrown.

Basic campsite. Won't fit a big tent on pad. Dome tent best. Creek access.

This has been an enjoyable place to camp, it was pretty warm up there this time, 87 degrees! Sad to see that the dam on whittaker creek is no longer there though. I would camp here again!
