Trees need trimmed along roads and by dump station. 5th wheel trailers hit the low hanging times causing damage. Fire pits not being cleaned between guest anymore. Grass is not being mowed. Weird guys renting spots for RV's in vans that are not campers making everyone nervous that they could be looking to pick up kids or women in all the trafficking going on these days. Gates open during the day and nobody in the building to control who is coming or going. This is no longer the campground we are used to. I no longer feel safe here.

While you are at Johnson Creek take in the famous cornbread sandwich shop in downtown Jefferson, Texas. And maybe get a notorious Bubba burger from Fuglars Grocery Store over on Hwy154, about 13 minutes west of Marshall.

Overall we had a good time. Park needs to be mowed. All the sites had the grass grown up. Fire ring at our site was old and not maintained.

We were having a great time, as we always do, at Johnson Creek, until we realized there were a lot of dead trees. We had an RV and a tent on our site. A limb fell from one of the dead trees and put a hole in the tent. Thankfully, it was during the day and no one was inside the tent. We only stayed one night rather than the 3 we had booked because we were concerned about a dead tree or limbs falling and damaging our RV or ruining the tent completely. We love Johnson Creek and it is our hope that they will take care of the dead trees that are a danger.
