CAMP CREEK IS AMAZING! This campground is so beautiful, really breath-taking. Our site was all the way at the end and it was huge and private with no neighbors. It felt so small and peaceful, I was immediately in love. The restrooms were average, not terrible, no amenities.

It did rain for a lot of the weekend with thunderstorms as well so we spent a lot of time playing cards and watching movies in the van but the morning was dry so we were able to hike the Still Creek Trail - the trailhead starts right at the end of our campsite. Right after a wooden bridge crosses the Camp Creek the trail walks along the creek for a bit and then cuts into forest wildnerness where we were just completely alone and surrounded by the most serene and dense forest I’ve ever seen. The trail was also covered in mushrooms - mostly russulas but we also found some chanterelles so you know where to find us come fall! This was definitely the largest array of mushrooms we’ve encountered on any of our hikes so we were pretty excited about it. I felt so at peace and awe struck in the forest on that trail and we will definitely return there. Its only about an hour and 15 minutes from our house too so its an easy day trip for foraging.

Pros:

• Amazing Still Creek Trail
• SO many mushies!
• Huge private tree covered spot
• Unbelievable old growth forest in every direction

Cons:

• It rained a bit which got in the way of our sitting by the fire but that’s not necessarily the campground’s fault.
• We couldn’t think of any other cons, this place is perfect!
