Reviews
Crooked Creek Lake campground is generally well-maintained and praised for its cleanliness, peaceful environment, and family-friendly amenities including playgrounds and well-kept bathrooms. Guests appreciate the helpful park staff and the site's natural beauty with activities like hiking, fishing, and swimming. However, there are concerns about tight campsite spacing, lack of electric and water hookups at most sites, occasional noise disturbances, and some logistical issues related to pavilion reservations and facilities maintenance.

This was my family's first time going camping. Granite we couldn't swim but it was still so amazing. Our kids loved it( well Lucy,our youngest,had a bit of a hard time). Other than the minor hiccups we enjoyed our experience in whole. So thank Yinz for letting us experience this.

For the price of staying at crooked Creek although you don't have a electric but you do if you go up to the bathhouse if you need it for a curling iron or a blue dryer or something or even to charge a phone. Such a nice place and so inexpensive and this time of year is perfect it's better than in the summer because there's less people

Sites are very close together, but I was there when it was mostly empty. My specific site was a little slanted, but I managed to find a decent spot for the tent. No firewood on site, so stop before you get there. The bathroom at the camp has running water, but there’s not another source in the immediate ranger. Nearby there’s a swimming area, and the lake was good to kayak on. Saw a bald eagle!

It was ok but with only a few rv ,pop up, camper spots why there can’t be electric run for those spots don’t need water or sewage because the generators running is anoring

We had a lovely day at Independence shelter. However, I had questions while I was setting up for our family reunion. I went to the Ranger station for answers and it was closed. We figured everything out on our own. It would have been helpful to just ask someone at the Ranger station .
