Great site- all the basic needs met. Electric and water hookup. Close to campus/ Athens. Was able to pull up next to a cement slab, which was great since it rained all weekend. Road was close but couldn’t hear traffic inside our camper. Well maintained spot. Definitely plan to come back a few times a year while kid is at OU!!

Salt creek is an excellent basecamp when visiting Athens, OU, Bailey’s, etc. Ed offers three RV or tent sites that each have a 30A RV shore power connection and water. The water pressure is excellent, but the well water in use is very hard and smells slightly metallic. Double filtering the water wasn’t sufficient to help with the taste, but otherwise it was awesome taking long showers after a day of MTB riding. The sites are adjacent to state route 13, so traffic noise during the day is a thing, but it’s not obnoxious. At night it’s quiet. He is close enough to Athens for easy reach by DoorDash. T-Mobile cellular service was excellent.

Ed was welcoming and kind and met us on arrival. The location was close to the Bailey's trail system, Stroud's Run State Park, and Hocking Hills. We tried and enjoyed the "Eclipse Company Store" for food and beer. We were permitted to spread out a bit as we were the only reservation our weekend, which was great. Some tips for future travelers: If you need wifi password or toilet, make sure to ask when you get there or in advance. The map looks like site #3 is set back off the road further than the other two sites, but they are all equally close to the road. There is shade at site #3 in the morning, and heavy direct sun in the evening, but we had a pop up tent with a sidewall that offered plenty of shade for us. Overall, Salt Creek is a great option for RV campers. His pull through lot, electricity, and water are rare among HipCamp locations. The location is not secluded/remote, as described in the listing, but it is convenient to the area's many tourist attractions in an area that is often sold out of campsites. Thank you for a great weekend!
