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.
