Trail Notes

What we noticed on the ground

Located on the upper end of Whitney Lake there is a very sweet RV campground that deserves some consideration if you are planning on camping a Lake Whitney. Plowman Creek Park is a U.S Army Corps Of Engineers campground located on the south shore of Whitney Lake. Plowman Creek Park is perfect for a weekend of camping at Lake Whitney! With easy access to the clear waters of Whitney Lake and plenty of great campsites you will truly enjoy spending a week end camping at lake Whitney. In this video I explore Plowman Creek Park and Steel Creek Parks and highlight all of the “stuff” you the RV camper needs to know! Come along with me as I explore a couple of options for camping at Lake Whitney.

Mapped with our U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers stops.

Campnab

Want the best campsite?

I do too.

I want the right site, on the right dates — not just whatever happens to be left when I make the reservation.

That's why I use Campnab.

I tell Campnab the campground, my dates, and the sites I'm looking for. If one of those sites opens up, Campnab lets me know.

Then it's up to me to grab it through the campground's reservation system.

Campnab doesn't book the campsite for me. It watches for the opening so I don't have to.

👉 Have Campnab watch for your campsite.
