The Peoples Creek upper campground is small but it does have full hook-up. It was challenging for my grandchildren to ride bikes because it has a lot of hills. But we still very much enjoyed camping here.

We stayed in site 6 Monday through Friday. Site listed at 50 ft and looked level in pictures but dropped off considerably in front. The worst thing is that poison ivy was Everywhere. When I say that it was on trees, in mowed areas around campsite and all along the roads. The picture showing the campsite showed a tree in back right. The green you see is not oak leaves but poison ivy. The most I have seen in any campground.

We were set up to camp in #27 but our hydrant had a leak below grade. So, we opted to move to #19. The whole campground is really nice. #19 was across from the bathroom and showers but it was quiet. It is also the only site with full hookups. What a joy to dump our tanks right at our site instead of having to use the dump station. What I really appreciated about this campground was that you saw a sheriff, park ranger, or the attendent very often. It was the park ranger that helped pick another site and took care of everything for us and even "comped" a night for us. It was a terrific experience overall and Lake Wappapello is beautiful!

Grass could use a mowing
@CliffordB19581 · Camped on May 25, 2025 at Campsite #6
At Lower Peoples Creek, site was clean and well maintained, excellent shade. Facility overall was also well maintained. Excellent beach near the campground ... very nice. Limited hiking trails but most are here for the lake activities.

Bathroo.s were clean, campground was well kept, and most of all, it was beautiful! Also nice and quiet campground.
@BruceP4717699 · Camped on May 17, 2025 at Campsite #44
Our site was not level enough to leave our trailer hooked up (to the motorhome). Sloped in before flattening out. However, campground was good, everything was operational. The Mingo U.S. Wildlife Preserve is worth the time.
@BradleyGCF8FF1 · Camped on May 16, 2025 at Campsite #7
Excellent area. Close to the lake, plenty of shade. Only negative is poor tv reception but that's not a problem for me. Beautiful well maintained area and close to the bathroom/shower house.
@RichardK748784 · Camped on May 13, 2025 at Campsite #7
The campground was nice, the facilities were clean, and the attendant was very nice and helpful.
@EricA2710263 · Camped on Apr 14, 2025 at Campsite #44
Bob was friendly and helpful, we only spent one night but the restrooms were clean. The water level was too high to exit so we had to turn around but Bob showed us where to do so.
@WalterD2744870 · Camped on Oct 28, 2024 at Campsite #21
This was such a good spot to stay we booked an additional 2 nights. Clean, quiet, and roomy. Shower house was well kept and provided nice hot water. Would definitely stay again.
@PaulJ4100707 · Camped on Oct 28, 2024 at Campsite #29
Very nice area site was level and clean. Bathrooms and shower house clean and functioning.Easy access except for the hill coming in and going out needs to be less steep
@SamuelH5405425 · Camped on Oct 17, 2024 at Campsite #29
Great camp ground, very neat and clean. Staff were polite and professional. We will be back!
@DebbieC9683255 · Camped on Oct 17, 2024 at Campsite #23
Enjoyed it so much! Area was clean and quiet.
@TeresePB951377 · Camped on Oct 5, 2024 at Campsite #11
Had site #11 which was very nice-level, easy to get into and out of; was a fairly quite campground (at least during the week in early Oct) The paved trail around the lake was very nice, although I do wish there had been a second walking option for variety. I would stay here again during the fall.
@DavidW7736336 · Camped on Sep 19, 2024 at Campsite #35
Its was very nice and quite and we enjoyed are visit
@RobertT9956944 · Camped on Sep 11, 2024 at Campsite #6
Great campsites, and wonderful paved trail for bikes. Non-Rv loop people are coming in and using the rv loop showers.
@AlissaK4434254 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #7
The sites were amazing and so close to the lake. My whole family was able have their own space but be close to everyone. Very dog friendly. The shower houses were clean. Best part was how close it was to the lake and the beach
@KaylaS7171066 · Camped on Aug 12, 2024 at Campsite #36
This could have been a great experience, but it was just..weird. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. They smelled so strongly of urine they were almost unusable. The weird part came in the early hours of the morning (pre-sunrise) when someone was shining their flashlights at our tent, then in the windows of our vehicle. Nothing about this experience made two little ladies feel very safe.The campground was nice and the tent areas are great. Seems like it would be great for boaters.
@EllisS7AB1C94F · Camped on Aug 5, 2024 at Campsite #29
Wonderful place all camp sites are good.You can leave your boat in the water toothats awesome

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.

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.
