We stayed at the RV campsite 102 .. we really enjoyed our stay. It was a full weekend lots of visitors. Very family friendly, bathrooms were nice. When I booked the campsite it didn’t say they had 30 and 50 amps. So we bought a adapter just in case. We didn’t need it. Was easy to back in the RV with a friendly neighbor helping! The grounds were gorgeous! VERY nice! The One and only confusing point no one was on duty in the office. You couldn’t ask questions. We didn’t know if we needed to pay day passes like some other state parks. There only One dump site so on leaving day the line was long. All in all very nice.

We always enjoy going to Johnson Creek campground. I would have liked to see that the women's restroom was a bit cleaner. We camped at E 14, I understand that most people use the restroom in their camper's but we choose to use the restroom/shower if there is one available. We showered at another restroom.

Really nice campground. RR could use a little cleaning and updating, but given Covid and limited use, it was ok. Wish it had sewer.

Good location, very good and big tent sites, very unhappy that the tent restrooms were out of order all weekend and no one on the grounds could tell us why or when they would open had to go quarter mile to the closest bathroom.
