There’s no other place that even comes close to Rock Creek camping. Private, quiet, well kept and I especially love the fact that I can make reservations and plan to take time off from work knowing I’m going to have a campsite.

The facility is well maintained, although the bathrooms are standard issue Forest Service with some maintenance problems. Campsites are level, well-spaced and well maintained with heavy forest and privacy. No water at each site but spigots are easily accessed. I ran my hose across the street to fill my tank. Rock Creek Falls is a great hike and spectacular destination. The AT, along with Beauty Spot is just a short drive away.

Had an Awesome time, Nice campground, good facilities, very helpful host and rangers/maintenance workers. Like most parks a little updating and expanding the bathrooms would be nice, but overall it was a great time.

There is a lot to do at Rock Creek Park such as hiking and swimming. The Host is very nice and the camping spaces are spaced out well.
