We had an awesome time even though we got rained on most of the time. The place was quiet and the sites were spacious. We had two tents and a car and had plenty of room for fire, hammocks and cooking. One scare was due to the wet conditions we had one huge widow maker fall just a few feet from where my son stood. Too close for comfort. Always look up when setting up camp!

Beautiful, multiple campsites, very secluded from business and residential areas. 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive recommended especially after rain or ice. Multiple large group sites located on creek and a couple of smaller ones. 4 wheel drive required to reach a couple of sites. Moderate traffic. Beautiful view driving in, be cautious while driving, no guard rails and many motorcycless and bicycles. Hard to get a campsite on the weekends and even weeknights during summer. Be prepared for 3 creek crossings. No service at campsites but you can get service at top of hill by guard rail. Not much wood around campsites. Be careful. Swift moving water. DEEP in some places, slippery rocks. And be cautious of snakes. Go slow driving in, there are a couple unexpected large potholes and bumps.

You will need at least, all wheel drive to get here & some ground clearance will help too. But if you make it, it is absolutely beautiful primitive camping

Very rustic, and perfect location to the Bull and Jake mountain mtb trails, also Springer Mountain. Creek is clean and provides excellent water for filtering. Kudos to the Forest Service for giving us this pristine camp!

We visited Jones Creek Campground while in the area. Campground was secluded, quiet, clean, and laid out nicely. Lots to do in the area: hiking, biking, playing in the creek, etc. Most campsites provided shade, and some were right on the river. It was a weekend in May, and only two spots were taken. We will be back soon to camp!
