Used to camp here when I was young with my mom and dad, campground has added a couple of rental cabins, and other than that, the only thing that has really changed is the ownership it has grown with more camp spots, more to come once we are acclimated to this new venture! Will update in a month!

We love camping at Indian Creek. It's one of the few Mom n Pop parks left that aren't concrete parking lots that serve alcohol so visitors can enjoy their stay. It's nature at its best with a natural creek to enjoy.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this place and it was a charming, peaceful getaway. The highlight of the site is its small pond, which adds to the serene atmosphere. While not large enough for big water activities, it’s perfect for a relaxing stroll, or just sitting by the water to enjoy nature. The campsites are well-maintained, with a good balance of shaded and open spots. Facilities like restrooms and picnic tables were clean and easily accessible.

To be honest, it’s a campsite. Not too much different to any other outdoor campsite. You have running water, you can connect a hose pipe if you bring one. There’s a decent size pond there, but I wouldn’t recommend swimming in it, they have signs posted around that say not to anyway. I believe there was a creek there but I don’t think you can swim there either. All in all it was nice to just set up a tent and camp out. The other residents there are nice too. Only downside to being there is the bathrooms, they could use a nice cleaning. Besides that it’s great there, quiet too.

This campground is nice, clean and green! Located in the woods with mature trees all around and a creek/pond with catch and release fishing. We enjoyed the quiet, cool evenings at our RV site facing the pond. There are cabins to rent if you don't have an RV to stay in. They have pull-thru and back-in full hook-up sites, many located around the pond. Nice place for an over night or stay awhile like we did. Recommend this place to anyone traveling through the area, 3 bars with Verizon and some TV stations over the air.

As of 3/18/22, part of the trail is closed along with the splash pad and pool. The playground needs some work, especially the wooden parts. It can be a little rough but you can get down to the creek near by. The ponds don’t seem to have any decent fish, lots of moss. The camping spots are decent. There’s also a game around in a little convenience store in case you forget anything. The managers and workers are extremely helpful and nice. Average price for camping spots per night.
