About Salt Lick Creek

We really enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and all the wildlife. We were comfortable enough to allow our Granddaughter to ride her bicycle around the loop while there. This will be on our list of favorites and we’ll be back. 😊

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent campground! Salt Lick Creek.Campground is clean, quiet, and beautifully maintained. The campsites are spacious, the lake views are amazing, and the staff does a great job keeping everything in excellent condition. It's the perfect place to relax, fish, boat, or just enjoy nature. Awesome to disconnect. No cell phone service. They do have wifi at the bath houses, for those who need to check in family memebers. Lots of deer and turkeys. Had a wonderful stay and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Love Salt Lick Creek! Sites are large and well maintained. This is one of our favorite places to stay! There isn’t much cell signal so recommend using Starlink or something for WiFi.

Park service was great, however the restrooms were not so great
Would still like to see improvements in the WiFi service at this park. Neighboring parks have figured this out, I just hope you all can too,
Thanks

The campsite was great. The area was clean, as well as somebody left some wood to burn as well. The only thing is, I wish there could be all new bathrooms and bathhouses. I have been camping at Salt Lick for a lot of years, over ten. Is there anyway to make this possible? One would think as many as people camp there, enough money is being made to do this. What would it take to get this done? Also more wifi. Other than that, this is my number one place to camp. Thank you to the check in people that are nice. Plus all that is done for the kids, to be involved with activities. I feel like the whole campground is a safe place for kids to ride bikes or walk, don’t have to be afraid. By all means, always keep a watch over any child, not just your own. Always keep Salt Lick around. Thank you. VB

We had a great spot #143
My husband had a very bad E Bike accident and if it hadn't been for the woman working the gate, I don't know what I would have done.
Her name is Lillian and she was awesome in getting us help.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
