Summary

AI generated

Moss Creek Campground is praised for its beautiful, serene location next to the river, friendly camp hosts, and clean facilities. Many campers enjoyed the spacious sites and the peaceful atmosphere, making it a great spot for relaxation and outdoor activities. However, some noted the lack of potable water, limited parking at certain sites, and occasional noise from nearby roads, but these did not significantly detract from their overall positive experience.

Camped at the end of the bottom loop. It was right on the water = a great fishing spot. Online camp map showed a close bathroom, but it was the camp pump house (broken) nearest one was quite a ways away. camp was empty mid week in Sept. Beautiful campsite - large , clean and private. Probably better in summer as it was a bit chilly

Decent campground, no water, nothing to do near by. If you want a place to sleep, you might like it.

Such a lovely spot tucked away in the forest, right next to the river. As of 7/14, not all the bathrooms were functioning and if you’re at sites 13 or 14, you’ll have to walk or drive up a hill and walk a ways to get to a rest room. Other than that, absolutely no complaints. We’ll be back!

Very nice campground. Nice size. Host was good. My side was next to the main road and logging trucks started passing by at dawn.

Great quiet campground on a beautiful creek. Spot #8 is right on the creek and you can hear the rushing water. Only complaint was there was no firewood for sale and no close by towns to purchase wood from. Plan ahead!
