Weekend Trip to Whispering Creek Lodging & RV Resort

The campgrounds are well kept and the office staff is very friendly. Breakfast was served on the weekend and coffee. This was not expected and very much appreciated! The RV was spacious and had everything needed to enjoy our stay!

1 night at The Ark At Oxbow Lake

Nice property and Wifi was a bonus. Host was excellent with communication. Signage was lacking at the turn in, but GPS was accurate and Scott replied right away when we weren’t sure. Campsites are kind of close together but overall a cozy feel. Would stay here again.
