Water access is the main draw at Crisman Hollow Road Camp, a dispersed camping area in George Washington National Forest where several sites sit directly alongside a creek. Hikers have noted a trail near the bridge worth exploring. Some roads within the area have been closed at times, so access can vary, and campers should expect some litter at certain sites. Trash service is listed as an amenity, though cleanliness has been inconsistent based on visitor reports.
Managed by the US Forest Service, the camp allows pets, campfires, and alcohol, and has cell service on-site. For campgrounds near George Washington National Forest, the dispersed format here means fewer facilities than developed sites but more flexibility in where you set up. Come prepared with your own water source, and pick a spot close to the creek for the best the area provides.
