NOISY CREEK

Had a great weekend here, it really allowed us to get away and enjoy being out in nature. Even though we were at a campground, there was enough privacy that you didn't feel like you were camping with a group.. The Camp Manager was wonderful and did a fantastic job keeping everything cleaned up. There is a gate that is closed from 10pm-6am that helps keep random people from driving through. The bat... Had a great weekend here, it really allowed us to get away and enjoy being out in nature. Even though we were at a campground, there was enough privacy that you didn't feel like you were camping with a group.. The Camp Manager was wonderful and did a fantastic job keeping everything cleaned up. There is a gate that is closed from 10pm-6am that helps keep random people from driving through. The bathrooms are vault toilets and are fairly easily accessible from any site. No running water in the bathroom. No showers. Just the basics! There is easily accessible water spigots, the water is cold and tastes great!!! Our site (Site 1) did not have a bear bin, so we kept all our food and other smelly stuff in the vehicle at night and when we were away. Some sites do have bear bins. One reviewer mentioned that they expected a separate tent pad, but the RV pad is the tent pad. It's gravel, not paved. We had no problems putting in our stakes. Couldnt be happier! All the sites also have a rather large picnic table and a decent sized fire pit. I highly recommend that you take some time to hike around out here. There is the Noisy Creek trailhead right by the campsite with a 7 mile hike to the top of the mountain (didn't do this hike) and a few miles up Sullivan Lake Road there is the old Mill Pond Historic Site (drive past the Mill Pond Campground) that we hiked around for a few hours. We took the path to the South side of the Mill Pond, and then hiked back to the trails on the north side. Highly recommend you are prepared if you do this - there is a 20ft wide creek that is nearly impassible if you come up this way, you either have to cross in fast moving water that appears to be knee deep or worse - or climb across some debris which takes a level of skill not to fall in. You have been advised. Overall, we loved this campground and have already booked another weekend here.
