The campground is just OK. It is nice that there aren't any cars but it's right off the main road so it's not very scenic. Also, there are catepillars everywhere and they get all over your stuff. But the real kicker is the person who runs the grounds is quite nasty. This isn't a terrible option but next time I'll... More

I guess for Lauren, because I did not waive the rules for her makes me quite nasty. I have a cancellation policy and I charge a fee when people stay at the campground. She had reserved a campsite for Friday and Saturday night. I set aside a campsite for her for Friday night. The rules of the campground clearly state... More

We had a great experience at up the creek campground. I loved that there was a kitchen sink with warm water and soap to wash dishes. The bathrooms were very clean with two showers, two stalls, and two sinks. They also had a charging station to charge our phones and computers. I was nervous about leaving them there to charge,...

Just left after a week-long stay and had a great time despite the cold and rain. Sites are spacious and both creeks are really nice. Other campgrounds we saw in the area looked a lot more cramped. Will stay here again next time we are in the area!

The days are hot, the nights average in the mid-50s, and the campground was extremely clean. The owners maintain the campgrounds very well. The showers worked and had an abundant supply of hot water. The camp sites had a sand base and plenty of picnic tables to go around. The owners made sure that loud noises after 10PM were at... More

Well maintained, very clean, enough shade, online reservation, well managed, location was great. You have your own picknick table, multiple grills are provided throughout the campground. This campground was one of the best we encountered during our trip through the South-West USA. We asked for a spot in the shade during the reservation and our wish was fulfilled. Great moneysaver...

Arches NP was full and I wanted to avoid the "campgrounds" that include noisy RVs and such. I found Up The Creek to be a nice, mostly quiet alternative with good showers/facilities. I didn't meet the owner, but spoke with her and she seemed friendly and helpful. Once the nearby Friday night high school football game concluded the campground was... More

Up the Creek Campground is located right in town, about 2 blocks from the main road. It is a tent only site and you have to wheel your things to your campsite because cars aren't allowed back there either. Our only complaint is that the ground is very rocky so it was difficult to get the tent stakes in. We... More

We stayed two nights at Up The Creek Campground on a May weekend. The campground has nice facilities, including good showers and a convenient sink to wash your dishes. The setting is beautiful with a stream and a bike/walking trail nearby and big beautiful cottonwoods. We did hang out for awhile on our first afternoon there, and it was pleasant... More

Caterpillars falling from trees above. Highway noise. Campers talking and laughing until 2:40 a.m., in spite of calls to please respect quiet hours. There seemed to be no one in charge. We filled out the paperwork, left the $$ in the pipe, and never saw an owner/manager. We didn't find a way to get help in silencing the bicyclists who... More

Yes, one will encounter creep crawlies when camping outdoors and the caterpillars are out in full force this April. For those planning on camping in April, I would suggest bringing some kind of shade structure to provide some protection from the caterpillars. Yes, one will encounter neighbors and noise when camping in a campground in a city. I would suggest... More

Peacefull campground located just 2 blocks from city amenities (laundromat, stores, diners, brew pub). The site is very shady thanks to a large grove of cottonwoods (allergy sufferers beware). We visited in early May, unusually cool in 2011, but still had plenty of caterpillars around the site; nothing a gentle brush can't take care of. Advantages: * Hot showers *... More
