Every fall we have a girls only camping trip. We enjoy campfires, hanging out with plenty of space to decorate pumpkins, play cornhole, or simply just being there, enjoying the fresh air. It's a very comfortable campground and we don't worry about being safe!

Always quiet and relaxing

Since we are able to go through the week it is always very quiet. I wish there were better areas to fish from the banks. There is either too much rock, too many weeds to navigate through our both. The gentleman at the front gate is so very friendly and a joy to speak with. I didn't check the Bath house this time potting to ise the camper shower. However, the showers at the park -- especially the large one -- is so nasty and in need of repair and updating.

Very clean

Good spot except for it not being as level
@RobertF6718628 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #S37
s037 is possibly the best camping spot in the state. Surrounded by woods, neighboring sites aren't too close, restroom right across the street and has a private path down to the water. Only 2 complaints: The 3am boat cruising by with radio blaring and people yelling and the bugs (ticks and mites) falling out of the trees.

first time here and we loved it! Camp site kept well restrooms not too bad for campsite right by the water great people around us!!! 10/10 would recommend and will return!!!

Campsite is great with a nice view of lake at the backside of camper. This particular site needs more gravel added where the rain water washes down the hill and leaves mud right at the front door of the camper. Heavy rains caused a lot of mud. I stayed through the 4th of July where fireworks are NOT allowed (the reason I camp at slough creek) However people do not obey. MANY m80s and half sticks went off this weekend. They were very disturbing to pets as well as to our ears as they were right across from us. People have no respect for others. I saw no ranger/police presence in this area which makes me want to change my plans for next year.

Take the time to enjoy nature. Listen to the birds and enjoy the wildlife.
@BobbieJ5ABB412 · Camped on Jun 12, 2024 at Campsite #S77
We always enjoy our stay at Slough Creek Campground.

We always love camping at Slough Creek but this visit had a few disappointing aspects. The grass at South Point Loop between sites 79-90 is very high. That area wasn't cut when the rest was. There is a window broken in the bathroom closest to site 79 and has been for several weeks. These are minor details but you asked. We will continue to camp at Slough Creek just as we have for 20+ years.
@RustyFCC3339B8 · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #W39
Almost impossible to set up tents because there isn't much grass and its not flat at all. Wish the pictures was more clear. Was very disappointed.

we really enjoy our time at Slough Creek and the lake. However we camp in south campground and the roads are terrible. They have been for several years. there are some holes I wouldn't want to drop a tire in.
@JohnG7676070 · Camped on Apr 28, 2024 at Campsite #S62
Grass waa really tall at beginning of stay and was cut at end of week. Other than that everything was fine
@ChristyC987015 · Camped on Apr 26, 2024 at Campsite #S83
We love camping at Slough Creek, large sites.
@JimmyH3676923 · Camped on Apr 24, 2024 at Campsite #S13
except for the rain and wind---------a lot of both----------------had a GREAT TIME
@RobertW1226972 · Camped on Apr 24, 2024 at Campsite #S9
The bathrooms and showers leave a lot to be desired. Topeka is but half an hour away and I enjoyed sightseeing .
@jessys5D9789B9 · Camped on Apr 19, 2024 at Campsite #W60
Always a fun time. Everyone is nice, and minds their business for the most part other than just being friendly. Owners are always nice and great you with a smile & trash bag for your camp site! I grew up camping here with my parents and family, I now have my own stuff and bring my own family!
@williams984835 · Camped on Apr 15, 2024 at Campsite #S77
We were there for opening day. The sites were not mowed. The bathrooms were tolerable at best.
@DavidP3257927 · Camped on Oct 15, 2023 at Campsite #S83
Camp hosts are very friendly people and the campgrounds are kept very clean also.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
