Tea Creek Campground

5 ReviewsAdd Review

The sound of Tea Creek flowing into the Williams River marks this 28-site Forest Service campground, tucked away at the intersection of two waterways in Monongahela National Forest. Campers find well-spaced sites that provide privacy, with most offering level ground and several positioned directly along the creek. The rough access road requires careful driving but leads to what Camp With Me describes as "a nice, secluded National Forest campground."

Each site includes standard amenities: picnic table, fire ring with grill, waste receptacle, and lantern hook. Bear-proof trash cages appear throughout the campground, and vault toilets serve each loop. Four trailheads originate from the campground, offering immediate access to hiking. The Williams River provides trout fishing opportunities, while Tea Creek adds to the water access that draws many visitors back repeatedly.

Cell service does not reach this location. Camping costs $10 per night, with discounts available for pass holders. The area around the campground offers additional camping destinations around Monongahela National Forest for those exploring the region's network of Forest Service sites. Reviews consistently highlight the campground's cleanliness and the appeal of creekside sites for campers prioritizing water access and fishing opportunities.

Well Spaced out National Forest Campground

This was a nice, secluded National Forest campground tucked away at the intersection of Tea Creek and the Williams River. The 28 sites are well spaced, giving you plenty of privacy, and most are flat, with the creekside sites being especially nice.

Each campsite includes a picnic table, fire ring with grill, waste receptacle, and lantern hook. The campground was clean, with vault toilets on each loop and bear-proof trash cages throughout. I noticed four trailheads at the campground. There is no cell service. Camping is $10 per night or $5 with a discount, making this a great, affordable place to stay in the Monongahela National Forest.

Check out our 360° drive though of the campground, it will help you get a good sense of the place.

One of the Best

I love Tea Creek so much. It’s one of my go to, favorite spots. Campsites are nice and private, with the majority having sites that are pretty good sized and mostly flat.

There are great hiking trails, a good place to ride a bike, nice places to play in the water, and fantastic trout fishing.

Right now part of Williams River Road is shut down, and it’s really nice to bike.

Trout Fishing Paradise

This is a great place for pull-type campers or tent camping. Campground is always clean and access is directly off the scenic highway. Several hiking trails nearby. First photo is 100 yards from the campground.

Always a favorite. The Williams River is gorgeous and Tea Creek is exceptional for the “real camper”. Beautiful, peaceful, fishing, quaint, and quiet. Lots of hiking.
