Creek Ridge Camping

Creek Ridge Camping operates seasonally from April through November, with sites ranging from $15-40 per night and reservations available for this privately owned campground. The property sits in mountainous terrain requiring a steep drive up to the office for check-in, then offers both drive-in and walk-in access to various site types.

The campground features a mix of tent sites, cabins, and glamping options spread across terrain that extends beyond what initial maps suggest. Several sites provide direct access to a river via maintained trails, though campers should pack light for the hike down to waterfront locations. Jennifer Z. notes "You could here the rush of the water At night while sleeping" from riverside sites. The river runs calm enough for swimming and offers multiple access points for cooling off.

Facilities include clean bathhouses with outdoor but private showers that provide hot water. Electric and water hookups serve RV campers, while tent sites include fire pits and some covered pavilion areas. WiFi extends throughout the property, and pets are welcome. The campground sits close enough to Hot Springs that visitors can walk into town to experience the Appalachian Trail corridor and local hot springs attractions.

Creek Ridge works well for campers wanting water access combined with mountain views, particularly those comfortable with steep terrain and trail hiking to reach prime riverside spots.
