Camp Stonefly

5 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

A privately owned campground along a creek corridor outside Johnson City, Camp Stonefly sits on land managed by a couple that reviewers consistently describe as welcoming. The site count runs small, somewhere between 8 and 13 lots according to recent visitors, which keeps the atmosphere from tipping into the crowded end. Gravel pads with picnic tables make up the individual sites, and electric and water hookups are available for RVs alongside tent-friendly options. Anglers have noted rainbow trout in the water, and fly fishing from the bank is a regular sight.

The creek is close enough that campers have parked with van doors open to the sound of moving water overnight. Cleanliness comes up repeatedly in reviews, particularly the bathrooms, which N P. describes as "thoughtfully curated and clean." Campfires are permitted, and the campground includes showers, a dump station, and WiFi. Pets are allowed, and reservations are available.

Access runs by drive-in, walk-in, and boat-in, giving the campground a range of arrival options. Johnson City is close enough for a dinner run, with local spots like Yee Haw and Red Meze within easy reach. Campers looking at places to camp around Elizabethton will find Camp Stonefly among the options in that corridor, along with Riverside RV Park a few miles to the northeast. The campground works best for anglers, couples, and van campers who want water access and basic amenities without a large-scale operation around them.

Visiting my family in 2021,me and my wife decide instead of a hotel to go camping. Now growing up in this area in the 80 and 90's u could just freely disspearsed camp, but we were surprised to see that they made an actual camp ground around their by some private land owners , who are the nicest couple you could ever meet. The beautiful grounds, peacefulness, of it all is so nice and inspired those childhood memories of Trout fishing with my father who had passed 5 yrs ago. The $25 dollar charge is very well worth it. With bathrooms and nice people. I will be back , before my brain cancer takes me, just recently diagnosed an looking forward to doing something, but living on SSDI is hard

Sitenot sure, a tent site.

Creek side camping gem

Stonefly is a true gem! We parked with van doors opened to the bubbling creek and had the natural white noise as a backdrop all night. Very few bugs with cooler temps. Watched the fly fisherman on the bank catch a few rainbow trout. Chatted with camp neighbors and yes—the bathrooms are thoughtfully curated and clean. No complaints. Perfect distance to Johnson City. We had a beer at Yee Haw and even brought back tasty Mediterranean dinner from Red Meze to the camp site. Do yourself a favor and book a night here.
