What Guests Are Saying
Skull Creek is a well-maintained, quiet campground offering plenty of shade and convenient access to hiking trails, making it a great spot for outdoor enthusiasts. The sites are clean, and visitors appreciated the attentive campground staff. However, there is no water available on-site, and some facilities, like the back-in drive and toilets, could use improvements.

We have stayed at his campground 3 now times In mutli different areas and have loved it. This last time was a different story. When we arrived the camp hosts had not posted reservations for campgrounds in weeks (signs were from weeks past)! We called the number at the front due to having 2 different groups in our reserved campgrounds. We were given the run around on who we actually needed to call. Was given a courprit number which was an automated message with no help. Finally was given a phone number for the camp hosts, we called them mutli times and they never even picked up. Eventually we had to talk to both groups of campers who were nice enough to move there entire camp. I felt very bad kicking people out who had already paid the first come first serve fee. We eventually saw a host come and empty the pay station but they never came into the camp ground to check up on anything. The firepits were full to the brim with ash and beer cans obviously not being taken care of. It's a real bummer to see a really good Campground not being taken care of. It is a beautiful spot with lots of shade but I'd only recommend it to people who are willing to deal with the lack of organization and cleanliness.
Happy Camping!

Great quiet shady campground, pit toilets well kept No water. One concern is that signage to camp is nonexistent. One sign exactly at turn in (off 55 mph road) is your only notice of site of campgrounds, and you have to brake hard to turn. It’s kinda dangerous

Great little park! Beautiful river, interesting geology, and clean campsites. We did the loop/canyon hike and the next day went to the falls. Be sure to take a dip in the bracingly cold water in one of the pools below the falls.

Campground was beautiful. Outhouses were very well maintained. James was a huge help in finding information and things that were nearby. Will definitely be coming back again!

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
