We have been camping for many years at sharp creek and we love it there because it has always been clean and organized it unfortunately this time we can’t say that the restrooms didn’t get cleaned the whole time we stay there and that’s the main reason we like staying the because the restrooms were always cleaned once a day and didn’t smell bad I don’t know what change but they need to pay attention to this because we’re not the only ones that noticed it.

First time visitor to the campground. From only being a week after a major storm the campground was very clean. The camp host volunteers were extremely friendly and helpful. We met Dusty , he made sure we felt welcome but stayed out of the way of the campers. He briefly checked in with us about once a day which we appreciated. The pit toilets were clean on the inside, I saw them cleaning them every day. But as with all pit toilets if you’re down wind, well, you know. Water level is low and F&G hasn’t stocked in 2 months so fishing was not good. However If you hike down stream toward box canyon there are some deeper pools. Do not follow the creek up stream. It’s treacherous and with the loose rock you could get into trouble. There are some better sites than others if you’re looking for larger level space. I was at site 2, and could easily lay down a 9’x16’ tarp. Plenty of trees for shade with some sun so bring cover if you’re sitting outside during the day. The disadvantage is you can’t just pull up your vehicle to the site. The parking spot is a pull out from the road and you must carry your gear down 4 -5 steps and back up to load. Noise level was ok, no one violated the 10pm quite time. However there was a camper several sites over that had 2 large dogs that barked loudly every time someone walked by. We love dogs and we brought ours, but if you have dogs that have the tendency to bark at strangers, Please do not bring them. We came for peaceful, and the campers that brought those loud dogs obviously didn’t care about the others around them. Overall I highly recommend this campground. Minor tip, before you set up camp do a walk around and make sure everything fits your approval, if not, let the camp host know.

Nice campground near the creek. Sites are well spaced and campground not too crowded. Not all sites have a back in spot along the B loop, and the upper sides are on a grade. Vault toilets only. Ok for a few nights.
Popularity: Very quiet

Busiest in August, when about 13% of guest capacity is reserved. Based on 11 years of reservations.
