Salt Lick Creek

This is a beautiful campground. It was quiet even with other campers there. Absolutely NO phone signal but that was not too big of a deal because they did have a couple of wifi hotspots where you could make wifi calls if necessary. My only complaint would be that the shower houses need some work. The showers themselves worked but the bench that one might sit on or put your clothes and toiletries on were missing even though they were built into the structure at some point. Neither were there enough hooks to hang things on (only one). Anything you tried to sit on the floor got soaked even outside the actual shower area. Other than that, we enjoyed ourselves and would return again.

Nice

Such a beautiful place to just relax!!

This is a good place to camp. A place to get away. The lake is nice to take advantage of. A lot of the sites are shaded.

If you're camping with kids, this is the perfect site. The playground and beach are just a short walk away, but they're far enough from the campsite that you don't have to deal with a lot of noise.

The only tricky part was backing in our trailer. The back of the site is at a bit of an odd angle, so it took us a minute to figure out the best approach. We ended up lining up with the side of the site and backing into the angle, which worked well.

The only reason we're giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is that there was absolutely no cell service or over-the-air TV reception. That might be a bonus if you're looking to completely unplug, but it's worth knowing before you go.

Beautiful camp grounds.
The bathrooms didn't get much attention until it was time for the weekend campers , which is a shame because we like to camp during the week days also.
The construction going on is a little loud.
Would suggest selling ice at the check in station.

We love this place! Can't wait to go back!

We absolutely love it here!! Great place to come and relax!

Good times

Nearby Defeated Creek gets more love, but having stayed at both for two weeks, we enjoyed Salt Lick the most. It’s not as crowded and the campground is gorgeous, especially on Lakeside and Sugar Tree Loops. Maples planted in the mid 70’s when the park was built have matured, giving the campground a lovely park like setting. There are lots of open spaces with deer and turkey frequently feeding there. In the Lakeside Loop, sewer sites begin at 11 and run through 23 (the campground map shows 10 as sewer; it’s not). Sites along the lake are closer together but not right on top of one another. We were in site 10, and the spacing between sites was very generous. We didn’t like the Woodland Loop as these sites were in the hilly section of the campground, buried in deep tree cover. It’s a 30 minute drive to Gainesboro where you can find a DG Market and Sav-a-Lot for supplies. A bonus: free laundry with two sets of washers & dryers. And, judging from the number of people on their phones, WiFi appears to be available at each bathhouse. We absolutely no cell service with Verizon, but our Starlink worked well at our site.
