Abrams Creek Campground

Quiet. Peaceful. A hidden gem! Husband and I had a great time. Booking was easy, and the campground was clean and the creek beautiful! If you love Quiet, then this place is it! There were a couple families staying further down from us yet at night you could literally hear a pin drop it was so quiet. All that can be heard is the water rushing over the rocks. During the day however, bird songs fill the air and the camp comes to life! The bathrooms were clean (minus the couple bugs that snuck there way in there but that’s expected) and everyone was friendly. Also during the day you will see several hikers walk passed to gain access to trailheads via the campground, but this place is definitely not a busy spot. We will definitely be escaping here again soon! There is NO cell service though, but that’s what we want when we go camping anyway! To unplug and admire Gods creation. And here? There’s plenty to look at and love.

We decided to go for a short stroll in the woods, one afternoon, which starts at the end of the camping sites. It was perfect for young kids. We enjoyed the stream going by the Campground. We saw some people swimming where the water was moving slower. All of the camping areas were taken. There must be a bit of a wait to reserve a spot.

This is a small, very remote campground on the edge of the national park. We were set up to stay here a week, but after a change of plans, ended up at Elkmont instead. As a result, we only stayed here a night, in site A10. I saw several reviews before we went saying the the sites are small. I don't know that I'd agree with that - our site, at least, was fairly spacious - but the layout was downright weird. Our tent pad was positioned behind the parking spot for the site next to us, and their tent was on the far side of that spot. Perfect for a group that wants both sites, I suppose, but a bit uncomfortable for us, especially since we got in late at night and had trouble finding our spot. The tent pad was comfortable, but I have my doubts about the size. I could've sworn the reservation said it could fit a 9x12 tent, which is the size of our tent when the sunroom isn't set up, but our tent was too large for the pad. We ended up fudging the set-up so we could get everything to fit. There's one restroom in the campground and it's a bit of a hike to get to it; there's a paved path between two campsites, and the restroom is the lit building in the woods behind them. It's a long walk in the middle of the night, but not too bad if you have a flashlight. There are flush toilets and running water. While many of the sites aren't on the river directly, there is access to the water either through empty sites or between some of the sites.

It is $30 per night and must make reservations online. Beautiful area. Flush toilets. No showers. 16 campsites available. Nice quiet camping.

Nice place, temperature was much better than the Northern VA area. Very quiet and peaceful. If you're down by the river and in a tent, the sound of the river is wonderful. So relaxing. We stayed in a "cabin", but it's actually like a large storage shed turned into sleeping quarters. No bathroom nor kitchen. The bathroom was and old porta potty. We didn't like that at all. Because of that, we probably won't go back.
