Camping at Rocky Creek (Somerville Lake)

Public campground · Somerville · 140 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Rocky Creek Campground sits on a narrow peninsula along Somerville Lake, where open water edges up against stands of large trees that provide patchy shade and regular visits from pelicans and other waterfowl. The lake is the organizing feature here: registered campers have direct access to two on-site boat ramps and beaches for swimming and water sports, and anglers come specifically for crappie, catfish and both striped and largemouth bass fish in this system commonly reach 10 pounds or more.

“first time trip using our recently purchased motorhome. site was perfect. Lake was beautiful and campground well maintained”

John S 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Stickers, worst I’ve ever experienced! And, the bathrooms were scary (bugs, spiders) filthy. When the water level is low you have to walk out forever to get more than your ankles wet. The positives: nice water view sites. Pretty sunrises, and we spotted two bald eagles.”

Donna T 2 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“The only problem is the stickers are out of control.”

How far ahead to book Rocky Creek (Somerville Lake)

For September weekends, book about 102 days ahead. Three in four September Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 38 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (32,578 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
