Love camping at Paint Creek. The bathrooms were clean. The camp hosts Bill is rude and confrontational. I’ve been camping here for 30 years and he’s the only one we have had problems with

When i made reservations i think that i should have been told that nothing could be left out, grill, coolers, cookware or anything that could not withstand 200 lb of pressure. When i arrived i was given two full pages if rules that was enforced constantly throughout the day. Will not go back although i have camped there for the past twenty years.

Very scenic and remote. Great to get the full outdoor experience in the mountains for beginner campers. Bill was a great campground host and his buddy Jeff even helped us set up our tent. On our 3rd night, a thunderstorm rolled through, but the campsite provided great cover from the rain under the trees. 10/10 experience.
