Isaac Creek Campground

If you want quiet this is your place. We were on 2 sites 17 and 14. The camp hosts were great. If you like to fish a great spot. Our neighbor caught enough catfish he gave us some, delicious. The bathhouses were clean. The shower heads left a little to be desired but workable. The staff were friendly and helpful gave us great info on local places. The cell service was horrible 3G at best. Had to travel to town to get on phone. Besides that would stay again and again.

Price reflects application of my senior pass. Four stars for access is only because some would find the isolated location a problem.

We were supposed to stay here back in November, but RV repairs caused us to cancel. My husband was very interested in staying here, so we took the opportunity on our way North. To say this is remote is an understatement, as others have said, it is out there! The campground is nice, with lots of tall trees that provide shade and block satellites, but don't give much privacy. One interesting thing, the campground loop is two lanes, so the inside pull thrus are very nice since they don't face the road.

When we hooked up we had problems with the 50amp, so we switched to 30amp. We informed the volunteer at the gate and he reported it, but didn't expect anyone to show up until the next day, which was fine. The next morning a nice man showed up and replaced the 50amp breaker in an absolute downpour! I didn't think anyone would even show with how bad the weather was, but he showed up and fixed our problem.

The restrooms were very clean, but the showers only have a single shower curtain, so they didn't feel too private. It's been quiet here, I never had anyone else in the bathhouse while I was showering, so it wasn't too bad. There is a laundry in the bathhouse, it always seemed to be in use as I walked by. There was one washer/dryer and it looked like it was $1.00 each.

If you don't boat/fish, there isn't much out here. The museum is closed until further notice, so we didn't get to visit. This is a great place to chill out and enjoy a good campfire, we bought $15 worth of wood from the country store 8 miles down the road.

We had no AT&T signal at the campsite, but we could get 2 bars and LTE by the museum. Our Verizon worked ok with our booster.

We stayed here in June while we were waiting for the sale on our house went through. We had 2 options for campsites: premium or standard. The premium sites were right on the river and we had the very first one. The standard sites are in the woods. Our site was in partial shade and it got pretty hot during the day. Great views though. Lots of bird watching. The showers were good and there is a laundry there as well. Electrical and water hookups with a dump station right on site. It is a long way off the main highway so stop in town and get what you need before heading out to the campground. We rode our bikes everyday and had a peaceful stay while here.
