Beaver Creek Campground — Watoga State Park

Hikers and wildlife watchers find plenty to explore at Beaver Creek Campground, situated within Watoga State Park's 10,100 acres of forested terrain. The campground provides both drive-in and walk-in sites along with electric and sewer hookups for RVs, operating from early April through late December at $23-26 per night.

Sites spread throughout a wooded setting where "sites are all shaded, in the trees, semi-private," according to campers who return regularly. A creek runs alongside most camping areas, and deer frequently graze near tents and RVs. The campground connects directly to the Allegheny Trail and Greenbrier River Trail, putting hikers within reach of wildflowers, dense forest, and rolling hills. Some sites sit near a playground, which families appreciate but solo campers might want to avoid.

Cell service remains spotty throughout the area, though site 2 near the check-in point picks up a WiFi signal. The campground maintains clean bathhouses and provides firewood, ice, soda machines, and laundry facilities on-site. Campers exploring the broader region can find places to camp near Watoga State Park throughout the surrounding mountains.

Reservations help secure preferred sites during peak seasons. The combination of shaded camping, creek access, and trail connections makes this spot work well for tent campers and RV travelers seeking a wooded base camp.

Great camping

I’ve stayed here at least a dozen times over the years. Nice sites for tent camping. Clear skies and a decent bathhouse.

Beautiful scenery

Lovely campground. Not too noisy and gorgeous nature. Campsite 2 is across the path from the check in point and you are quite on display but on the other hand you have WiFi signal and are close to water and perfect distance from the campground.

Firewood and ice is available for purchase and there is a soda machine and laundry facilities on site.

Perfect combo of shade and sun with deers grazing right next to your tent!!

To much to describe.

So much to see and do, a lot of history and nearby attractions to make the most of being in the area. No cell service is a plus, battery last longer for photos.

Nice green site

Along Allegheny Trail and Greenbrier Trail, lots of wildflowers, dense forest, rolling hills, streams. Some campsites are by a playground, avoid those if you don’t have kids yourself. Sites are all shaded, in the trees, semi-private. Clean and well taken care of. Creek runs by most of the sites. Would definitely return.
