The lady was very friendly and helpful. Her husband was rude did everything he could not to help. Even knowing my husband and I were stranded till our ride showed up. When our ride didnt show and we asked to pay to use his phone to call because we did not get reception he refused so my husband had to find his way to town. I got worried because it was after dark and he still wasnt back. So i made the only call I could from a non working phone 911. When I asked for the address he told me I was being ridiculous. My husband was on foot. They asked if they could call him if they found my husband he told them no. I cleaned the back camp areas as a thank you to the lady for being so kind. When my Mom called to check on me he told me i could go to the office and call just her so she doesnt call the cops. I have never been treated so badly. Nor been so scared that i was going to be stuck some where because I had no way to get out to get a hold of anyone.
Like many state and federal camping areas, Possum Creek consists of a couple of loops with sites along the sides. This is a two loop campground with well shaded spots on the northern loop. While well shaded, the north loop backs up awkwardly to a private residence. Water, pit toilets and a dump station. Some added perks including a small playground and horseshoe pit.
This is a very quiet campground, the host are very friendly. The only thing is they need to put in a few sites that have electricity and water. I think this would bring more to the grounds.
