Our YouTube Video of Macks Creek Campground

Macks Creek Campground is located on Forest Service Road 268/Arrowrock Road just 4.5 miles from Highway 21. The RV campground is above the road with the tent campsites and docks below against Lucky Peak Lake. The hills are covered with wild flowers in the spring and are hot and dry during the summer. The perfect setting for those who enjoy playing in the water.

Recreation

Fishing
Lucky Peak Lake has a variety of fish species, various trout, bass, crappie and others. Check the regulations here.
Boating
Boating is the main attraction here. There is a boat ramp with several docks for your use.
Swimming
There is a very small but cute swimming/wading area at the little playground.
Recreation
The big attraction here is the water, whether it is fishing or skiing. During warm weather the marina is always full and that does not seem to be a drawback. Depending on the water level, there are sandy beaches for sunbathing and fun. A small beach and swimming area near the middle of the campground has benches and play toys for kids.
Wildlife
You will often see deer coming down to the lake to drink and there are many bird species to view.
