@AlanL3519897 · Camped on Sep 5, 2024 at Campsite #B8

Park attendant was very nice and bathrooms were clean

@MatthewS683247 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #B4

Very quiet and friendly area! Clean bath houses also.

@EvaD8304502 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #B6

Very nice place. Marina and staff are amazing!! Fishing is good and the water is nice and quiet. Pizza place up the road is fantastic and the food/ice cream across at 125 anchor point is great too! Riding the ferry across is fun. Just make sure to check the times of the ferry so you dont get caught without a ride back over. Our site was a very nice shady spot. Phone reception is not great but we had a good time and my kids even made some friends! Very good trees for shade and hammock hanging! Bathrooms were cleans and cool during the heat of the day!

@DougC2292861 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #C3

Super friendly people. The campground host were fantastic. Will definitely be returning!

@KimS7922535 · Camped on May 26, 2024 at Campsite #C12

My family and I came here during Memorial weekend. It was the best spot in my opinion since you had the best view. I do want to say however, that the picture is not entirely true. You WILL NOT have shade. When we got there we were expected to have a roof as shown in the picture but there was not. So please be aware that this site has NO SHADE and there are no trees surrounding the site. Other than that we really enjoyed the ferry ride over to the other side. Ferry is completely FREE.

@AlexL7041439 · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #A8

Bathrooms were clean. Not advisable to camp near the boat access (A loop) if you are a late sleeper/ sensitive to noise. Very noisy early in the morning. Started just before 6am. Lake view was lovely though!

@CrystalD401128 · Camped on Oct 19, 2023 at Campsite #C4

We always have a great time. Grounds are always clean and neat. Bathrooms and showers clean, need some kind of rack inside shower to place stuff on. Overall it's perfect place to enjoy a getaway.

@PamelaS2519925 · Camped on Sep 29, 2023 at Campsite #C10

Our family had a great time!

@BillT8205D4681 · Camped on Sep 8, 2023 at Campsite #A7

nice clean restroom, enjoyed out night there passing through on a motorcycle ride.

@ChrisM9524349 · Camped on Aug 25, 2023 at Campsite #C3

Had a great time. No amenities close.

@ChrisN6913042 · Camped on Aug 3, 2023 at Campsite #A5

The park attendants are wonderful. The campground was clean and neat. Plenty of patrols from rangers. Love the place and will look forward to going back.

@michaelg734741 · Camped on Jul 28, 2023 at Campsite #A5

Campground was clean, water was wonderful and views were awesome. The people working the kiosk were able to work with me on a single night stay on a Saturday. Another campground in the area was going to change me for two nights. Thankfully I found this campground.

@DonaldB5279265 · Camped on Jul 27, 2023 at Campsite #A13

We love this place. The lake is so beautiful, and you can not ask for a better host. They are so friendly, and helpful. We had a storm coming in and we were out fishing when the host made their rounds to alert everyone of the storm. We obviously came in due to the rain and lightning. But the host made a special trip to our camp to let us know we should move to the shelter due to forecast 80 mph winds. Like I said, "you can not ask for a better host". It is not an easy drive to get to Buck Creek, but absolutely worth the effort.

@RobertM6972821 · Camped on Jul 21, 2023 at Campsite #C5

Not to take away from the park itself because it's always been a favorite to go to but people are very inconsiderate worse now days. There was human feces thrown on ceiling in bathroom that stayed up there the whole weekend we was there. And just random little messes from people coming to Camp and not fully cleaning up after themselves. If you're a grown adult you should be cleaning up after yourself and if it's people's kids, then the adults should clean it up at the very least. The park staff should not have to clean up crap from walls or ceilings. Nor go around having to pick up any trash left in camp or that's put in outdoor grill. Buck creek is a wonderful place to come camping. Please clean up after yourself and help keep it nice for the next family.
