I love camping at Rock Creek. The campground is clean and peaceful. The camping spots are wide enough for us to have privacy.

I don't want to be too effusive, but this is one of my favorite campgrounds. I love the cement pond. Were there hosts there? I don't know, I did not need them and they were thankfully unobtrusive.

So the entire week we was there didn’t see the camp hosts at all. #1 had no camper at all and #2 had camper, tent, golf cart but no one was around. The bathroom/shower house never got cleaned and by the last two days we had to carry toilet paper to the restroom. Very disappointed in that in years past the previous host literally cleaned it every morning.

Cleanest I have seen it! Bathrooms were in excellent condition even though they are old and need updated.

We enjoyed the campground minus the bongo players across the road from us and the marijuania smoking. Sites are large and bathrooms are clean.
