What campers say

Spring Creek Campground sits on Frenchman's Lake with easy water access, large well-spaced sites and good swimming and hiking nearby. Camp hosts are often helpful and potable water is available, but facilities are mixed: some visitors report clean, regularly serviced restrooms while others note out-of-order toilets and sporadic cleaning. Many sites are first-come, first-served with some walk-up rules and occasional check-in confusion. Leash rules are enforced and wildlife sightings are common, which some guests enjoy and others find close to camp. Noise from other campers has been reported on occasion.
