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

Couldn’t ask for a nicer camping experience! Grounds and facilities were clean and neat. Close by walking trails/sights were easily accessible and enjoyable. The camp host was very outgoing and helpful in sharing info on local areas of interest and overall knowledgeable of camping setup knowledge.
