Herring Creek is very family friendly with a community atmosphere. Road is paved, with peaceful, although close campsites. The creek is serene, and usually slow enough for small kids to play in the area closest to the sites. Farther down are somewhat deeper pools for more of a swim. Altogether a relaxing place to spend some summer nights!
