Obed Wild & Scenic River will increase the cost of overnight camping at Rock Creek Campground from $10 to $15 per night. This rate will go into effect on January 1, 2024. The rate per night for camping has not increased in price since 2018.

Fee rates are based on a study of comparable sites in the surrounding area to ensure that increases are appropriate and competitive with current market conditions. Public meeting and comment periods were held with participation from local community members, campground users and local businesses.

Revenue generated at this campground is used to maintain and improve facilities and infrastructure, and the online reservation service.
