Everything was well maintained and clean. The grass was freshly mowed which helped minimizing the sticker burrs which can be a nuisance. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. RV site was level, electrical and water hook ups were well positioned and functioned as they should. The abundance of wildlife with the great sunrise and sunsets over the lake were beautiful to see. Have and will stay more in the future.

We just love visiting this park so much. Especially now that we discovered they have corn hole boards by the covered pavilion area. The bathhouse is always so clean and we regularly even use the showers also. Our favorite part is the walking trail section too and going the entire way takes almost an hour or so. The park hosts are always so welcoming and helpful. Only downside is they adhere to not letting you check in before 2 or 3 p.m., so best to remember that when camping here. It is just such a gorgeous and tranquil park. Maybe someday, we will even catch a lake fish! (fingers crossed).

Our first time camping at Rocky Creek Park. Very nice campsites with large shade trees spotted around. We had a site right on the Lake shore , and enjoyed seeing abundant birds plus Deer, rabbits, squirrels and raccoons. We plan to return and bring our boat in warm weather, as it looks easy to beach your boat right near your campsite ! A+
