Great campground for families. Quick to address concerns we had. Hope to return again later to explore more trails.

We stayed here for the first time this weekend. We are torn between 4 and 5 stars, but went with 5 because there was more positive than negative. Very clean and well managed, managers and seasonal campers were very friendly. Spacious and secluded sites. We stayed as tent campers. Not sure why another camper mentioned the rule signs being off putting, they are there because too many people do not follow the rules. Our site did have poison ivy starting to grow on the edge (late April), but we hope to see it gone the next time we come back, because we will!

We had a phenomenal time. This is probably one of the cleanest older style campgrounds that we have been to. The price is very affordable and there is plenty of things to do around it. From trail hikes to kayaking or canoeing if you have your own. The price of firewood is also outstanding. We stayed for four nights and bought the $35 bundle and it lasted for our stay. Thank you to the staff for making our stay so welcoming.

We had 2 great camping weekends in 2021 and look forward to booking in 2022! The campground is quiet and relaxed. Scott and Mandy could not be more accommodating or helpful! Camp store has lots of essentials and is well stocked. The only negatives: The drive to get in is not the easiest and some of the spots are tight to back into. Once you are in the sites they are spacious, just be sure to bring leveling blocks/boards as the campground is very hilly. 5 stars to Otter Creek!

Nice campground, very relaxing. The creek was pretty and it's right next to the susquehanna. Seems like more than a few people actually live here.

Although I didn't get to meet anyone because it was off hours, they were polite enough to place the parking pass to the picnic area on my windshield as I was using the clean restrooms that also have $0.50 showers. I don't know how long the water lasts for 50 cents as I did not use that accommodation.

Best get-away in york County! Scott and Mandy are the most amazing people in the world. Before you even get to your site they treat you like you've been friends forever! Them and their small team work hard to keep this wonderful camp CLEAN and MAINTAINED! We have made this our go to campground! The seasonal campers are just as welcoming and friendly. If you don't visit otter Creek you truly are missing one of the most beautiful landscapes york has to offer just off the trials throughout the campground!

Great place to get away to. Looking forward to hopefully getting a permanent site with them. Between the playground and walking through the campground with a good atmosphere of people, you can easily tire your kids out.

Although the owner was very nice, and the location by Lake Aldred was great considering our love of kayaking, the upper roads and campsites were very tight and you are right on top of your neighbors. Our site was on a steep hill that required lots of extra blocking under the hitch, one tire, and front stabilizers just to get it level and this left the back bumper almost on the ground. The sites on the lower loops and by the playground are more spread out and the sites wider and more level. The prices are not bad but there are little extra fees that you don't find out until you get there, such as extra money if you wish to run an air conditioner and pay showers that only give you six miles of water at a time. There is only one main shower/bathroom building and it is kept fairly clean. However, the smaller bathroom buildings that are through the campground stank so bad from a distance of 30' that I couldn't even get close enough to check them out. They do have a nice big play area for kids but unless they are athletes, leave the bikes at home as the roads are very steep. There is also no area for swimming unless you wish to climb down a steep narrow path into the canyon that Otter Creek runs through. Not a safe swimming place for kids. This campground served our purposes for a weekend trip but I don't think I would choose to stay longer than that. If you return I will certainly choose one of the lower wider sites.
