This was such a good spot to stay we booked an additional 2 nights. Clean, quiet, and roomy. Shower house was well kept and provided nice hot water. Would definitely stay again.

@PaulJ4100707 · Camped on Oct 28, 2024 at Campsite #29

Very nice area site was level and clean. Bathrooms and shower house clean and functioning.Easy access except for the hill coming in and going out needs to be less steep

@SamuelH5405425 · Camped on Oct 17, 2024 at Campsite #29

Had site #11 which was very nice-level, easy to get into and out of; was a fairly quite campground (at least during the week in early Oct) The paved trail around the lake was very nice, although I do wish there had been a second walking option for variety. I would stay here again during the fall.

Great campsites, and wonderful paved trail for bikes. Non-Rv loop people are coming in and using the rv loop showers.

The sites were amazing and so close to the lake. My whole family was able have their own space but be close to everyone. Very dog friendly. The shower houses were clean. Best part was how close it was to the lake and the beach

This could have been a great experience, but it was just..weird. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. They smelled so strongly of urine they were almost unusable. The weird part came in the early hours of the morning (pre-sunrise) when someone was shining their flashlights at our tent, then in the windows of our vehicle. Nothing about this experience made two little ladies feel very safe.The campground was nice and the tent areas are great. Seems like it would be great for boaters.

@EllisS7AB1C94F · Camped on Aug 5, 2024 at Campsite #29

Old Timers beware, they DO NOT bring your tag for your campsite and vehicle to you anymore. We were told 8 minutes before the booth closed we had to go get it. They have always brought the tag to us along with lake information pamphlets. Kinda felt like we were disrespected and that we were trying to get a free night or something as they followed us all the way to lower Peoples check booth. Then when I got to the check booth, I was told that the dog had to be on a leash because it was reported she was running all over the campground. My dog is always on a leash connected to a chest harness. Now the campground attendant had dogs getting out and going all over the campground. This upper peoples location has really changed this year. I was ready to leave after day 1 of our trip. Doubtful I will return.

Great spot.

@KenM8869751 · Camped on Jun 20, 2024 at Campsite #56

We have had our family reunion at Lake Wappapello every year for decades. For the past two years at Upper People's Creek. RV Campsites are pretty level and full hookups. Roomy enough for RV and an added tent. Only issue I ever have at the lake is chiggers so I have to stay out of the grass.

@AngelaG7629019 · Camped on Jun 20, 2024 at Campsite #8

Great quite campground! Lots of shade. The campground host Elizabeth is friendly, helpful and stays on top of things to make everyone stay enjoyable!

@AnthonyK34E15B · Camped on Jun 20, 2024 at Campsite #41

Nice enough park, steep hills, not wellSuited for walks or bike rides.

@DavidW7736336 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #21

Use to camp here a few years back but had gotten away from it. We came back to rethink our memories of camping with our family here. Things were upgraded and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. To us peoples creek lower level is absolutely the best.

@AndrewT9982192 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #26

Really nice spot if you have kids. I would like to have had sewer but this site didnt. When we left the dump station was also full so we were told to go dump at the upper campground in any open campsite.

@RayL8265363 · Camped on Jun 4, 2024 at Campsite #14

Beautiful sites. Large and wooded and quiet.

@DavidM9841724 · Camped on May 28, 2024 at Campsite #11

Only stayed overnight the campground was flooded with some sites under water and closed Campground is remote and quite

@STEVENM2892720 · Camped on May 12, 2024 at Campsite #44

Good, clean and quiet. Lake was a bit high and some boat ramps were closed but still was a good experience. We'll be back.

@AnneC8205723 · Camped on May 10, 2024 at Campsite #50

Peoples Creek lower is a pretty amazing little spot to camp!

@AdamM2914458 · Camped on May 9, 2024 at Campsite #11

Awesome Location!!! all the sites are fairly secluded, Tons of shade cover, Amazing shower house with hot water (free). Site 11 is level and secluded compared to most commercial sites. Water and elec but no sewer at the site, but a clean dump station. There is a beach but it was closed due to flooding at the lake. The area has amazing parks, the lake is massive and beautiful,

@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!!!
