Overview

Rock Creek Group Site is a family-friendly primitive campsite located in a large grassy area across from the Camp Host site. Group parking is available in the gravel lot to the right of the campsite.

It is a short walk or drive away from Veteran's Lake and roughly a 10-minute drive to Little Niagara and Travertine Nature Center.

Note: While the group site is reservable, all other individual campsites at Rock Creek are available on a first-come first-serve basis. Payment for individual sites can be made at the fee machine located at the entrance to the campground.

Swimming opportunities are plentiful with nearby streams and springs. A short drive to Veteran's Lake allows access to more swimming, picnic areas, a fishing dock, and a hiking trail that wraps around the lake.
