Crooked Creek Lake Campground

This small, 45 site, Corp of Engineers campground has one road ending in a loop. The sites on the north side are tent only and the sites on the south side are tent or/and RV.  Site 15, the only site with electricity, is reserved for people who require electricity for medical support. Amenities include tables, fire rings, restrooms, playgrounds, beach, and boat launch. 

All COE campgrounds require advance reservations which can be made online or by calling. Since this is not a busy campground we waited until we arrived at the campground to reserve a site and we were glad we did. The first sites are not level and some of the sites are very close together as can be seen in the photo below. The table and gravel area belong to the site to the right of us! There were a few campers in the first sites but the rest of the campground was empty so it didn't matter.

 We were in site 17 which is designated on the reservation form as accessible but the only different between the accessible sites and the regular sites are gravel parking pads and gravel around the tables. There's not much that is accessible in the park but we walked/rolled along the road A-Frame Road and Overlook Road. We didn't find an A-Frame or an overlook. :D

The sites are large enough for most RVs. The road to the beach area is narrow and steep but the parking lot is large enough for any vehicle. Campground  40.70943, -79.51365

  1. Kinda weird that the CG was fairly empty in July! Did you have to pay for your site?

    1. Yes, but only $7.50 with an access or old folks discount. People in the east want electricity so if you don't need it sites are easy to get. This campground doesn't even fill on the weekends.
