We like Hawe Creek because the campground is quiet and there are many sites with excellent privacy. The sites are on the water and each has water, electricity, a fire ring, and picnic table. Cell phone service was very poor however.

My husband and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CAMPGROUND and this is the only vacation we can afford at this time in our lives. We try to book here at least 2 times a year. Your camp attendants go out of their way to make sure every camper has a good time. This is a well maintained campground and also a very quiet campground and again we love coming here every year.

My 1st time visiting this campground & it was fantastic!

The best thing were the camp hosts. They kept the campgrounds immaculate as well as the bath house/showers.

The only downside to this campground, which can't really be helped I suppose, is that the internet/phone service sucks, even when you have roaming on.

I'd visit again for sure.

Our favorite campground. Lots of good private sights, all of which are directly on the lake. This isn’t a kid friendly type campground, but instead a quite adult place that is well kept with friendly attendants. My only complaint is they don’t stay open all year. I know lots of people have asked to see that change, yet no success. Maybe some day?
