Fun, cheap, and relaxing! There are enough trails in the park to keep you busy for a day. But there are other nearby trails and such. I'm definitely going back!

The entire park was clean and well cared for. Staff was very nice.

Love Crooked Creek Campground. We've been camping there for 20years!! It's a nice clean campground with plenty of spots for campers and tents with lots of trees for shade. They have nice clean bathrooms, but no showers or electric hook-ups. Each spot has their own fire ring and table. There is a fairly new playground for kids too. There is a beach for swimming and a boat launch area as well. We always took our bikes because there are paved roads for riding.

Very nice place to camp, chill, and enjoy nature

@AndrewK5708668 · Camped on May 20, 2023 at Campsite #13

Sites are pretty much level. Cell service is not what it used to be after changes to the cell towers but still serviceable. The bathrooms are very clean. Overall a good little campground.

@ChristineK9918 · Camped on Jul 15, 2022 at Campsite #10

This is an absolutely beautiful facility.

No information at the campground about water or dumpstation or quiet hours made for our worst night of camping in a long time. During the week was okay but Friday night we needed to self enforce the rules which weren't posted. We checked out early to avoid a repeat. Most sites are too small and close even for our 20 foot camper. Upon leaving we had to call the ranger for the code to use the dumpstation. It was lucky we could reach someone. Also, it is unclear why there are no toilets in the beach area. This seems to me to be a problem. As for the scenic vistas shown on the map...maybe when there's no leaves on the trees. On a positive note, it is a short drive to the Rosston access to the Armstrong bike trail and kayaking up crooked creek from the boat launch you can see numerous blue herons and possibly a bald eagle as we did.

Peaceful campground with two nearby playgrounds. The lake is a great way to spend the day swimming, fishing, or kayaking. It’s a great family getaway!

@AndrewB2067797 · Camped on Jun 3, 2022 at Campsite #3

I loved camping here!

@HollyR3863926 · Camped on May 27, 2022 at Campsite #21

Nice for boating, fishing. Speedys ice cream stand is close by and has delicious ice cream

@PhillipT989169 · Camped on Sep 17, 2021 at Campsite #18

no power, no hookups, but generally a quiet park. Park rangers usually drive by several times per day. Check-in process is easy. Playground can be seen from almost every campsite. Public bathrooms are well kept. Running water available and dump stations available.

The sites are VERY close to one another... pictures on the web did not accurately reflect the sites and how close you will be with your neighbors.

There are so many opportunities here to connect with nature if we can only take the time to pause and look.

@TraceyK139 · Camped on Sep 3, 2021 at Campsite #9

Camp site beside me used our area to park in. Then on our 2nd day there was asked not to run our generator for more then an hour at a time. Again same problem as last visit with tents camping right beside rv’s. Again I wish they would enforce tents to camp in tent sites only. We ended up leaving 2 days early.

Beautiful scenery and clean camp sites. DO NOT put Crooked Creek Lake as destination in your GPS to get there! Make sure you use the physical address listed on your reservation.

@LisaM362 · Camped on Aug 6, 2021 at Campsite #36

I like crooked creek. I would love crooked creek if they had a shower in the campground. Also, the sites are close together.

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!!!
