We were very disappointed with this campground for several reasons. We reserved this place to be near our children for a long weekend visit. The campground rules were severe for example, the host asked us to get off the grass and we hadn’t been there, but maybe 10 minutes while setting up and unloading our vehicle. They were not friendly at all. The entry gate was locked at 10 pm with no rentry and didn’t reopen till 6am. There were spikes at the gate to make sure no one got back in during the lockdown. This made our day trips short. We felt imprisoned. The dumpsters had signs that said “no household garbage allowed “. Where were we supposed to throw away our garbage. We want be back. Lesson learned.

Site 26 had very low voltage at the electrical pedestal…. It would consistently go under 103 Volts. Could not run anything, with the temps running near 96 degrees. Nice little park, but bad power at #26

Willis Creek is a great campground. It's quiet and low key. There is a boat ramp to access the lake but the pier is out of order due to flood damage so if you plan to fish you will need to stand on the bank. The bathrooms are just okay. The women's restroom has two stalls but one of those stalls was locked shut. Now I don't know if it was locked shut because it was out of order of if someone locked it shut and crawled out of the stall as a prank. There was no "out of order" sign. The bathroom did not have toilet paper most of the weekend there. The shower stalls were clean, although, we did not use them. Otherwise the campground is a nice place to stay and I would recommend it if you are looking for something low key, quiet and peaceful.

The camp site was very pleasant. I was disappointed in self that I didn't try to find out if swimming was available at this park. The host were very friendly and informative. The restrooms were the usually park site warm for 100 degree weather and showers were clean and comfortable. Little improvement can be done on the shower door for privacy. The grounds were well kept and tree shade was definitely welcomed. I would enjoy camping there in the future, unless we are with the 10 year old grandchildren, who go to swim.
