I LOVE this place! BUT this campground needs to publish a Site Map on the reservation website!!! Not just photos of the campsites. The campsite I had reserved , unbeknownst to me, was a "walk-in" site. There is NO mention of this important detail on the reservation website. I never would have reserved site #21 if I had that info ahead of time. It was a three minute walk on dirt trail, slightly uphill just to get there. They provide wheelbarrows, but it would have easily taken me 8 trips to get all my gear up there (I was a solo camper with lots of stuff) . So I didn't camp there. Gave up my spot and went down to East Fork campground instead, where there are several FCFS sites, and all of them have adjacent parking for your vehicle.

This campground is beautiful and well maintained. The bathrooms were typically clean, and the individual sites were very nice. The only downside: it's overrun with those awful invasive Asian Tiger mosquitoes. They are extremely aggressive and are out biting almost all day long. Come prepared!

@JessicaK101721 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #1

Camp hosts Jean and Luis kept that place super clean and made sure all guests feel welcome. The location is perfect for summer camping. Can't wait to come back.

Great spot!

Rock Creek Lake Campground has it all. Camping, hiking, fishing . For the past 6 years it has been our favorite place where we can enjoy a peaceful getaway in nature.

@AprilynS38467B · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #17

Very nice campground. With lake view, safe location, clean bathrooms. Lots of mosquitos so make sure to bring spray. The only thing disappoint us was the original booking we had and paid for was given to other walk-in campers. They had to move us to another place which is way better than we booked. Thank you for the manager who manage to find a quick solution. Would definitiely come back.

@SharonT4876591 · Camped on Jun 30, 2025 at Campsite #24

We stayed at campsite 24. Beware - parking/bathrooms/running water is not anywhere near the actual campsite! I don't know the actual distance, but it will feel like a mile when lugging gear to and from, going to the bathroom, being on dishwashing duty, etc.

@elizabeth19786 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #4

Beautiful place. Our campsite had a view of the lake and sunrise. Temps were cool (upper 40's) overnight in late June. Be sure to bring layers to stay warm.

@DanielV1589109 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #4

Peaceful and quiet. Hauling gear from the car to site #4 takes a bit of effort but it's worth it. Feels private with lake views.

@RobertM1452522 · Camped on Jun 16, 2025 at Campsite #7

We booked RV site #7. Not much privacy between the family camped right next to us and the day use parking lot that shared our overnight space. Bathrooms were well kept, and heated. Easy walk to the lake. The walk-in tent sites were the ticket. We will probably not be camping at Rock Creek Lake again.

@JimT5716537 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #26

Jean and Luis are the most gracious hosts and keep the camps and bathrooms in excellent condition.

@MikeC4022067 · Camped on Jun 14, 2025 at Campsite #12

The restrooms were well kept and clean. The camp sites were nice and close to the lake

@JuliaB5205767 · Camped on Jun 5, 2025 at Campsite #4

We stayed in a walk in site and it was incredible. We had a gorgeous view of the lake from the campsite. The tent foundations made setting up camp a breeze. Its a well maintained and very clean campground. Great opportunities for fishing, hiking, SUP, kyaking, or just chilling in a hammock by the lake with a good book

@JennyB80660988 · Camped on Jun 1, 2025 at Campsite #4

I actually wound up moving from Rock Creek Lake to East Fork campground slightly down the road. The Rock Creek sites are not next to your parking spot and because I was solo I was sleeping in my vehicle. Just a heads up that if you dont want to carry cooler a distance or if you sleep in your vehicle, this is not the spot for you. On the flip side- the hosts were super helpful with the change and I DID go to Rock creek to walk and watch the sunset- it was BEAUTIFUL!

@sewankC6752C09 · Camped on Sep 27, 2024 at Campsite #15

Wonderful...

@KaitlynM710393 · Camped on Sep 22, 2024 at Campsite #6

A quiet and beautiful campground! Our site had a good view of the lake, and there was a good distance between campsites as well. Bathrooms were well maintained and clean. Will definitely come back for another visit!

@Roberti7699101 · Camped on Sep 16, 2024 at Campsite #4

We had a trip planned for three nights at Rock Creek Lake. We were snowed out with such bad snow, it collapsed our tent and there was nobody around. We were hoping to be refunded due to the weather, however, no compensation was offered.

@MichaelO624286 · Camped on Sep 12, 2024 at Campsite #21

Very nice and welcoming campground. A bit of a hike to the tent-only area but worth it as it is isolated. So you can't tent camp next to your car. They provide wheelbarrows to cart your stuff but count on making several trips. Extremely nice camp hosts!! Bears in the area - we heard one splash across the creek at about 4:30am and he definitely checked out our campsite for food.

@BruceA8B7FF293 · Camped on Sep 11, 2024 at Campsite #9

Good campground but not enough sites, needs to be reconfigured and add more sites. Its always booked up from spring to fall not easy getting reservations.

@BruceA8B7FF293 · Camped on Sep 10, 2024 at Campsite #7

Good campground but not many sites so only two nights there. Its become quite crowded over the years so the two nights were plenty.

@TaylorB7814498 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #3

Amazing views!

@RitaHAD9773B93 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #13

This is a wonderful lake but it was the construction happening across the lake at the boat lauch that really limited the enjoyment this fall. Yes, I do know that there has to be constrution, but it would be helpful if the webiste noted that there would be heavy equipment with backup signals and heavy drilling of bedrock going on all day long from 7am-5pm. The campground it wonderful. Go if you can. Hope the work is done by next season. (This is Sept of 2024).

@TracyT2929676 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #5

What a wonderful spot! I have views but I did have to hike all my gear up a small trail. Next time, smaller ice chest. It is at almost 10,000' MSL and so be prepared. They have a couple of bears that I did not see, they're a shower and food at the nearby resort. One of the best lake hikes around is about 2 miles away out of Mosquito Flats - Gem Lakes. Defiantly will be back. Camp hosts are wonderful and the restrooms were spotless.

@BrianS9986332 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #8

Beautiful views, convenient shower 3 minutes away at the Rock Creek Hotel, good fishing.

@GregDeYo51BDDF · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #19

With the work being done at the lake, too many people are going to fish at the inlet especially on the weekend. Other than that, the weather was wonderful and during the week it was very quiet and peaceful. Love that place!

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
