What Guests Are Saying
Rock Creek Campground offers a beautiful, peaceful retreat with well-spaced sites, particularly along the creek, providing a serene atmosphere and excellent access to hiking trails and the river. Visitors appreciate the cleanliness of the facilities and the secluded feel, with zero light pollution enhancing the outdoor experience. However, some noted a lack of onsite staff and occasional noise from ATV activity, and it's important to plan ahead for reservations due to ambiguous campsite maps and no cell service.

Very pleasant site near the river, and adjacent to nice trails. I thought site #1 was the only vacant site--it is marked as the handicap site, and is a very poor site with a rocky pad. Fortunately, I found a vacant site behind which is not visible from the road. It was site 11 and a great site. I thought #12 was taken with a name on the post, but it stayed empty for 3 days, so I assume the last camper never took their tag off it. Parking is very tight, and some places are challenging with a full sized vehicle.

Campground was very clean and well kept. There's a trailhead and river access. This is an alternate take out for Nemo. Get your reservation before you arrive as there is very spotty cell service.

I’ll cut some slack because of the pandemic year. This campground is small and nice. Right on the river. Only issues were the all night every night local derby around the campground with radios up. And no ranger came by at all to confirm reservations and a few of the people I spoke to said they just camped for free. None of this is a big deal to me but some people may lose their minds with all the lawlessness. Oh yeah and the worst by far was that because no one checked in on the facility for the week we were there, there was no toilet paper the entire time we were there. Again not the end of the world bc we were prepared but I saw too many people go in to poo only to scream for help (toilet paper) or worse come out with one less garment than they went in with
