I actually hate to write this review because it will draw more people here, but here it goes. Duck creek is a really great place for families and people to gather. Everyone is so nice and the facility is well maintained and clean. Even curbside trash pick up. I am glad they capped the amount of people that could just come in and be “guests“ of campers. This limits the outside foot Traffic and maintains a level of safety for our children. Stranger danger is real. I just wish there were exceptions for elderly visiting parents or just a quick day pass for some situations. Overall. I’ll be back

Overall, this is a beautiful place to camp and/or vacation 😍... The facilities were so nice and clean, even with a full lot of campers the bathrooms were clean and the water was hot! The Waterpark was so much fun for all of our kids, from 9 months to 17 years, there was always something to do to suit your family. The atmosphere was family friendly and the scenery was great! The only reason I gave it a 4 star rating was because the price was higher than similar attractions like this that we've been to and their policies for a three day rental minimum with no visitors or anyone outside the family unit at the campsite, it seemed a bit absurd in real time.

The sites are nice and clean and well maintained. It’s close to lots of things to do and the people who work there are very nice. We won’t be back because the hours of the slides, splash pad and lazy river, were very limited. With hours only being 12-6 pm and for as much as we pay to stay there a night, I would expect the hours to be longer like 9 AM to 9 PM. The regular pool hours are OK, But most kids also want the waterslide and lazy river. Everyone needs to cram in there at the same time where some people want to do the morning or evening and then you have kids you have to nap so they miss out on that as well. Also, for as much as we pay per night, it would be nice if putt putt were included as well rather than having to pay each time we play (most parks it’s free and we pay much less per night). The hours are also short which makes it crowded during those hours and some people miss playing since they may explore the beaches during that time, or at the water park part due to limited hours. For these reasons, we will not be returning to your park - unless these change. While in line waiting for the section with the slides, splash pad and lazy river, I spoke to many other guests, who were there who had the same complaints. If this changes, we will definitely be back. If you ran a report to see those who return it stay one time, you may notice more do not return — it’s a shame as it’s a great campsite but for what we pay, longer use of the amenities are expected.

This was our first time at Duck Creek. The property is beautifully maintained, and the staff very friendly. We stayed at site 159. It was spacious and level, and the main attractions were literally in our "back yard". A gas grill would have been a nice addition to the site. Our crew had a blast in the water areas, but we were confused why ALL of the water activities don't operate with the same hours. The splash pad/lazy river/slides don't even open until 12pm, then they close at 6pm (while everything else runs 9am-9pm). We also found seating at the water areas to be tricky, especially at the start of the day. We got a cabana one day, and decided to save the $100 and wing it the other two. People start to line up about a half hour before the water park area opens, then rush in Black Friday style to secure seats. The shade spots are obviously the first to go. We have been to several water park camping resorts over the years, and this is the first time we have run into this issue. Overall the fun we had outweighed our minor irritations, and they really did a nice job providing something for everyone. Would visit again!

Duck Creek is our family's favorite campground for glamping. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Sites are large and well taken care of. They offer so many amenities to keep the kids entertained. Our 4 kids LOVE the jump pad and water slides. As parents, we love the indoor pool for early mornings, days where we want to escape the excessive sun, and rainy days. Lake front campsites are our favorite, offering a beautiful and peaceful experience.
