Reviews
"I grew up camping here every vacation and a lot of weekends. It is sad it is not open for camping"
"It's pretty, only spent a couple nights at Otter Creek campground but very scenic."
"A great place to visit and bring the family. They also have pull off areas with picnic table. We come here often."
"Dad took us camping here as children and I still love it. Just so sad that it's closed for Good. I hope and pray that new owners would come purchase it and keep it open. Thanks to the wonderful park ranger who helped me"
"This place is amazing. One of the hidden secrets of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Make sure its a stopping point if you are ever lucky enough to travel this iconic drive."
