We love Hawe Creek!! The sights are big enough that we don’t feel like we’re on top of our neighboring campers. The park attendants are phenomenal!!

We love our "Hawe Creek" campground. Everyone there is so welcoming. The hosts are friendly and helpful and keep everything clean. Hate that it is closing early this year because we normally come in late September when the weather is not so hot. We are looking forward to our trips back next year.

Have Creek is the most well maintained campground that I’ve been to in my 40+ years of camping. Big sites, almost all level where you set up and most sites have direct lake access. Sites offer plenty of privacy and bath house was super clean

Quiet place with big campsites. Didn't like the access to the water. Too steep to attempt to get to it to swim and it was hard clay bottom. Saw a deer, explored the old cemetery down the road. Clean bathrooms but a hike to get there! I'd go back for a shadier spot.

We love Hawe Creek because the sites are huge and very private. No playground for the kiddos but we don’t have any so no problem.

Current campground hosts have done an excellent job this year! Campground was the cleanest it’s been in a long time. Bathroom was nice and clean also. Overall we enjoyed our time and will continue to camp there. It would be nice to keep HC open through October.

Really love Hawe Creek. The site we were on has a water problem when it rains. It needs some more gravel. Water does not run off. The camp hosts are outstanding. Steve and his wife and Mike and his wife do an awesome job. Looking forward to next visit.
