Before you book
Plan your stay
Everything that decides whether Little Creek fits your rig, your dates and your budget, in one place.
Our take: a friendly, well-kept park with roomy full-hookup sites, wildlife and a quiet, open setting 20 minutes from Midtown. It’s seasonal, you pay in full when you book, and Wi-Fi and cell are only fair, but guests rate the staff and restrooms among the best in the area.
