    Edinburg, Virginia

    Creekside Campground is a family-owned campground located in Edinburg, Virginia, in the heart of the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Set alongside peaceful Stoney Creek, Creekside is perfect for fishing, wading or simply relaxing.

    Creekside provides a wonderful experience while camping in the Shenandoah Valley. Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Edinburg exemplifies the quaint, small town atmosphere of the Shenandoah Valley, where visitors can explore and enjoy many sites and activities in walking distance from the campground. The area also has a variety of attractions within a short driving distance.

    Creekside Campground was built beside a submarine bridge near the 1817 Whissen Mill site. In the early 1800’s, a dam was constructed on Stoney Creek, providing power for a sawmill, carding machine and a boring mill for a rifle factory.

    During the Civil War, Edinburg was a strategic point because of its location along the Valley Pike, near railways and the creek, which was used to ship iron for the Southern troops. Today, Edinburg remains a quaint town where visitors can explore and enjoy many sites. Regular activities are just walking distance from the campground.
