There was lots of room for everyone! Verizon cell service worked there. It was very quiet and it was great not having to worry about other campers. We had young children so they could wander around in camp and be loud.

Fox Creek is a very large group site. Location was great. It's very private for your group and beautiful area for families and friends to run around, play games or have a quiet evening around the camp fire. The gate is a great way to keep privacy and enjoy your camping weekend without others coming in to observe or interrupt your group gathering. If you leave it open many people come in just to look or ask million questions. Bathrooms are cleaned each morning which is so nice and having dumpsters for your garbage is a plus. I really enjoy this camp site and can't wait to bring my family and friends back again.

This is our second year staying at Fox Creek and we have truly enjoyed it. We are looking at possibly booking at some other sites through the app.
