Was just a short trip for me, but it was a lovely spot. Would've appreciated better use of red lights or at least more respectful flashlight use (keeping them aimed low) from others in the area after dark, since I'd mostly chosen the campground for the dark sky, but that's not really a problem with the campground itself. The campground itself was quite nice. No problems with any of the amenities offered.

Secluded and peaceful next to the river. Met some nice people who were camping next to us. Always like going back to Rock Creek.

The campground features were excellent, clean, organized and wonderfully secluded on a Sunday night and Monday morning. Our favorite feature was the river sounds of water rapidly flowing and splashing over rapids all night long, as our site was the closest to the river. But, to our negative surprise, starting around 7 pm and continuing every 30 minutes or so until well after 10 pm, was the far sound of a train rumbling on its tracks and blowing its extremely loud warning horn over and over for 30 seconds at a time, which completely disrupted our idealic natural remote wildnerness camping experience and ruined the beautiful sounds of nature and silence that we drove 1.5 hours to find. This is why I gave this camground a 4 Stars rating.

NPS needs to clearly define if this area is first come first serve, or should honor assigned spots. The reservation only says "ranger will not be present to assign spots." This led to confusion. A bunch of city slicks took my spot because they did not like theirs, and because of that statement, the ranger could not make them move. Unfortunately, it caused us to take someone else's spot. The people who had our spot got upset. It took the entire area to sort themselves out to avoid fights. Other than that, the campground is great. It's right next to the river and Cumberland Trail. It was way quieter than state park campgrounds.

Great campground with a bit of a wilderness feel. Can access the Cumberland trail that runs above the Obed/Emory river for about 14 miles. Sites close to the river are very choice. When the river is up makes for quite an experience. Good for a car camp getaway or base camp for challenging day hikes.
