We love early season camping at Whittaker Creek. The addition of reservations makes the area feel safer. I think the entire campground should be reservation only.

It is a nice campground with some really cool camp spots( we drove up and camped in our tents)It is really so beautiful there. We went mon-wed so it wasn’t crowded at all and very peaceful . The camp hosts were awesome even got up to help me jump start my car ) which I am sure is not in their job description. Even the public restrooms were above par compared to other campgrounds.Since it wasn’t crowded we were
Able to move to a spot we liked better than the one we reserved and the hosts were kind and helpful about that too. We chose space #23 that had sun and shade , minimal bugsz, a knotty hobbit village looking mess of tree roots that 5 trees grew from and a path that went out to water about ankle deep that got deeper the further I followed it . We used roller skates and blades to skate on the road that goes through the campground and did some exploring checking out the other campsites. The other campers were considerate, quiet m, friendly and helpful. We had a good experience and made some great memories!

First time camping here, although my experience was very good and I enjoyed camping, my site was fine, the entire campground could really use a bit of trimming, mowing and such. Other than that, it was great, the hosts were very friendly and helpful.
