My family and I stayed at Jim Creek for a 4 day memorial weekend (2018). Reservations were made through the DoD Lodging contact number. Attended with husband and 2 children, ages 3 and 4.

We rented an on-site, brand new Mallard Travel Trailer that included hookups (electric and water). Fantastically priced at only 90$ a night! Maintenance emptied tanks upon request through the front office.

If you check in after hours, there will be a pick up area located in the 24 hour lounge of the main building, number 4.

Here are some perks we enjoyed:

- low cost rentals for things we didn’t bring (ie: firewood, corn hole bags, helmets for bikes (helmet required when on site), bikes, horse show for games, variety of boats, fishing poles- you name it!

- at least 2 parks on site that all the children love

- each site had a fire pit (cabins, lodge, individual RV site)

- on site grey/black water dumping

- general store for basic items

The lake is about a 20 minute drive. Be mindful of the signs that lead you to the correct road to the lake as there is a car path and a mountain bike path.

If you run out of food to cook, or didn’t bring everything on your way to the camp, there is a wonderfully priced grocery store in Arlington (which has organic items in stock!). There is a gas station about 5 miles outside of the site, in the main road.

There is no cell phone service but you’re able to connect to their Wi-Fi and have access to their 24 hour lounge (with WiFi and computers). Don’t worry about cell phone service! You’re there to enjoy yourselves and your friends/family. Your experience will be better without technological distractions!

There are at least (2) hiking trails
