We had a wonderful experience at Johnsons Creek. We camped in a tent on a nice camp site that had electric and water. The Ants were really bad so you have to make sure you have nothing left out on the tables or on the ground. I would suggest bringing ant killer to spray around the table. We were also in a drought, so that didn't help either. There was plenty enough shade and the air coming off of the lake was cool. The camp sites are a little to close in my opinion, but everyone was nice. The bathrooms are nice. There is AC and Hot water. Very clean. The lake was very clean and cool, even though it was a 100+ degrees outside. Very nice nature trails as well, best to walk early in the morning. We will certainly go again.
