North Creek Campground

very private, $15 a night, water, bathrooms, right on the river, pet friendly👍.. right next to the AT.. I have a German shepherd and a mini Australian shepherd and they had a blast!

Our camping trip in Virginia was a step into serene simplicity for just $15. Nestled in a beautiful forest, we found peace with no electricity, no internet, and no phone signals—just pure nature. The campsite featured picnic tables, a fire pit, and even hooks to hang a cauldron for boiling water or cooking fish, adding to the rustic charm. Although there were no showers or sinks, the pit toilet served its purpose well. We spent our time enjoying a barbecue under the stars, fully embracing the natural world around us. Despite bear warnings and the lack of modern conveniences, this getaway left us refreshed and grateful for the peacefulness that only nature can offer.

The gravel road going around the tent loop was really loud, and there was a cabin behind our site that had a lot of activity and noise for awhile, but all was quiet after 10p. There was a bear warning on the picnic table, but the very kind hostess said she hadn't heard of a sighting in a year or more. The creek that ran beside our site was a comforting lull. The sites were pretty close together, but we didn't have anyone next to us, so ours was quiet. There were several families in the area. It was good for a one night stay when other parks were full. The bathrooms had pit toilets. No showers that we saw.

Based upon earlier reviews , I had higher expectations of this site. It does have the attraction of two converging creeks but the campground itself lack character or charm. Not a lot of privacy, particularly middle sites.

Very nice quiet and peaceful campground, Loved falling asleep to the sound of the creek. Campground was very clean and well kept. Just what we were looking for.

Been going to this campground for over 40 years. Love that it is right beside a clean water supply with lots of trout

Small campground with about 10 sites in around a loop. Backs up to a river so great atmosphere, especially when sleeping. Fire pit, picnic table, lateen holder, and parking spot. Vault toilets, no running water. Fantastic spot to fish too.
