Middle Creek Campground is located in central Virginia, tucked in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Just moments from the Appalachian trail, this campground is a desirable location for backpackers and thru-hikers alike. Whether you need a place to rest your aching feet, or if you need a weekend escape, you’ll enjoy sleeping in the shadow of Virginia’s Fork Mountain.
There’s plenty to do near Middle Creek Campground; don’t forget the paddles and hiking boots! Bring your kayak for a whirl on the upper James River, bikepack the Blue Ridge Parkway (7mi away), or take the AT on for yourself. And when you’re ready to unwind, rest easy knowing that you can learn some history in the nearby town of Roanoke, or spend a lazy day casting a line close to your site.
This campground has 30 sites with 30/50 amp hookups and water, though the campground is also home to a few sites with sewer connections too – so don’t hesitate to ask! Middle Creek has cabins on the premises, and can also accommodate tents, hammock campers, RVs, and even tour buses! You’re sure to fit right in.
Come see why so many Virginia campers love spending their weekends at Middle Creek. Cell service and wifi are limited in this neck of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which only adds to the serenity. So “unplug, unwind, and get back to this beautiful natural world!”
I love it. Its in the wood the time of the year i went my part of the camping was empty. The restroom and shower are decent. The person was really nice to i will go again for sure !!!
No complaints. We stayed here for two nights in our 33 foot class C. The campground feels absolutely remote and is surrounded by beautiful forest. The road up to the campground gets a bit narrow near the end, and I'm not sure how well two motorhomes could pass, but it must work out somehow. Fortunately, we didn't have to find out.
The site was mostly level, and spacious, next to a wonderful little mountain brook that kids can enjoy for hours. We weren't looking for anything more than a nice camping site, so I can't really comment on the quality of some of the amenities, such as the swimming and fishing ponds.
There is a camp store with usual provisions and an ice cream stand. The attendant was very friendly. The other campers were also pleasant.
This campground is definitely on my list for future stays in the area. It's only about 20 minutes from Natural Bridge, and despite its remoteness, only about ten minutes off I-81.
Loved staying at this campground! They were able to accommodate us over Labor Day weekend and afterwards as well. We absolutely loved their location on the mountain. Maybe 10 or 15 minutes to Drive up. The staff was always very friendly and helpful, and did whatever they could to help us out. Very little cell phone service, but of course that's not their fault. We ended up staying at site 81 and got a couple of more cell phone bars, but ended up mostly using our wi-fi. The only thing that's odd is that their office didn't open until 4pm most days. It was inconvenient sometimes but not horribly. We would love to stay here again if we're in the area.
We have never had a good experience with our past three years of camping there. We gave it one more chance because we had planned a camping trip with our friends. When we showed up our site that we reserved and paid for online was already taken. When I told the lady at the desk we were there to check in but our site was already taken she had several excuses and lies about why our site was already occupied... We ended up just going back home. Instead of double booking a site and moving one of them I should have gotten a phone call. You can't just assume someone wants to walk across a campground to be with your friends when we were supposed to be beside them. I will never give this campground a penny. This was not the first time it's happened to us. We've lost power for the weekend and never offered our money back we were told we had to reschedule. I notified the office more than 14 days in advance of us not staying and I was told I wouldn't get a refund but I could reschedule for another time. It just one thing after another with this place. I highly recommend you find somewhere else to stay. Do not waste your time or money with this place. I would give it a negative star if I could.
Spent a week here in April 2022 and absolutely loved it! The staff are amazing. So helpful and friendly. The store is open 8-7 and they have GREAT food! The bathrooms are clean, hot water and good water pressure. The sites are clean and well maintained and they are super dog friendly. There's a playground, lots of open grass space, a pavilion (where they have karaoke and events), swimming pool and fishing pond. It's really amazing. Highly recommend
