Ware Creek Wildlife Management Area

A gravel road with mowed shoulders and a one-lane bridge (40-ton weight limit) leads to Ware Creek Wildlife Management Area, a dispersed camping spot outside campgrounds near Barhamsville with no developed amenities. No motorized vehicles are permitted past the posted signs, so access is on foot, by boat, or by bike. Trails run through mature mixed hardwoods and conifers. Cell coverage is confirmed on T-Mobile. During deer hunting season, visitors should wear blaze orange or pink. Campers wanting hookups or facilities can look at Thousand Trails Williamsburg nearby, but those comfortable with a vehicle or hike-in setup will find this a workable overnight stop.
