Come Catch a Rogue! Rogue Trout Retreat is a brand new, private, primitive (for now) fishing/camping destination located in Woodlawn, Virginia just over the line of the Virginia State Maintained Fee Fishing Area and Wildlife Reserve along the famous trout waters of Crooked Creek. Rogue Trout Retreat offers ~5 acres of semi-flat, wide open, primitive camping and fishing along 700 feet of the stocked, native and allusive brown trout fishing waters of Crooked Creek. There are many shaded fishing areas along the banks, a private island that sits in the middle of the creek, deeper holes to find the real "rogues", and a tiny branch that could be hiding a few as well! Pitch a tent, or park anywhere you'd like within boundaries - but be mindful of our wildlife and of your fellow rogue-seekers! Hunting, horseback riding, wildlife watching, hiking and more fishing are available right across the property lines, within walking distance from your campsite! (proper licenses are required, and absolutely no hunting of any kind is allowed on RTR grounds) --- Note: we are in the process of installing a fence, fire pits and grills - as well as more accommodating amenities such as a bath house and extended stay accommodations.

This is a perfect little getaway spot on the river with some great fishing and swimming holes on those hot summer days. Spot is nice and level with a perfect setback from the road. There is not much privacy from the road but it's a country road so you hardly ever see a car.

Nice place to stay
Tent ¡
Rogue Trout Retreat
This was a nice spot to camp, we even met the owner who had come by to check on something and ensure the site was to our liking. The area into the camp was well mowed, but due to the gate, it is difficult to get anything larger than a truck in (as mentioned by owner, they are working on this). The field around the bank was mowed well, and the area was flat enough for our pop up camper and canopy. There is a porta john toilet at one end of the field that is well maintained and serviced weekly. It did rain for most of the week and the creek became very murky, but even with that being the case, we still managed to catch several trout that swam down from the fee fishing area that is upstream. As most of the bank requires climbing to get to the water, I would not recommend this as a place to stay to someone who has mobility issues if their goal is to fish (as there is no way to land a fish), however, it is a nice flat area large enough to walk around if getting to the water is not their intention. There is some traffic noise, but it is not bad enough to deter us from another stay in the future.

Our family had a good time on the property. We hung out on the island and got to see a banded kingfisher nesting in the bank, eagles soaring over the creek. Caught river chub and tiger trout. We plan to book the whole retreat and go back with friends soon.

It was our 2nd time and it was a great time watching my grandson fishing up and down the creek. As always the direction were on point. The weather was perfect. We had the place all to ourselves for most of the week.

We accidentally went past the campground (it’s well marked and the location pin was perfect) but were treated with seeing deer cross the creek so that was a bonus. It’s close to the road but at night there’s little to no traffic and we didn’t really hear much going by. Very peaceful and it sounds like it’s going to have some nice additions in the future.

Another great trip here! I was able to paddle around on the water a little bit and my husband caught a 13" and two 14" trout in 45 minutes! This is a safe place to stay and we like that it's got (Verizon) cell service, too! The openness of the field is beautiful. It makes you feel a real sense of community all camping together while also being able to spread out. We've been able to meet some GREAT fellow campers here! We'll return 10/10 😊

Our little family had the absolute best time at Rogue Trout Retreat! We loved the space, the peacefulness and of course the fishing. Others noted the nearby roadway traffic but honestly it didn't bother us at all. The accessibility of the stream was easy and convenient for our 5 year old to fish, although he didn't catch anything, Mommy caught 5 lol. The space of the area was perfect for our son to run around without bothering anyone. We will definitely be back to this campground!

Amazing campsite. Do not get discouraged by other reviews that it’s too close to the road, traffic during the day. It’s very low. During the evening time, maybe only one or two car will pass by. At night we didn’t hear any cars at all. We caught a bunch of rainbow trout, about 12 pounds total. Definitely coming back

Great location and a beautiful spot right on the creek. There were other campers there so for me it got a little crowded. They played music until 1 AM. I would love to go back but I will definitely move a little further down for sure.

Beautiful spot on the river! We rented both sites to accommodate ourselves and two other families comfortably. Great choice and would do that again. Two families are experienced campers and it was the first time for one family. Everyone loved it. The river provided lots of entertainment with fishing, tubing and just wandering around to look at rocks and cool off. The dogs enjoyed the water too and running in the field. Porta potty was clean, easy to access but still out of the way. The road many comments mention is close by, but it wasn’t bad at all. Most of the time we forgot about it, until someone would honk to say hello. We went for the 4th of July, only heard minimal fireworks way in the distance, which was nice. We caught trout, saw several other animals right at camp including deer, bald eagles, crawfish, and a massive amount of fireflies! We spotted a decent sized bear about half a mile down the road when we drove to Galax one day, but we never saw him at camp. Very peaceful spot. We all enjoyed it and would love to book it again in the future!

Great: Beautiful property and surrounding area. Property was clean and well-maintained. Nice private stretch of river to fish. In fact, I caught my personal best not too far from the camp spot. Not great: The property is right off a very busy road. Frequent passing cars and large trucks starting as early as 5am and as late as midnight. Attn hammock campers: There are only a few trees close enough together for a hammock. If you’re solo, you’ll be fine. But if you’re hammock camping as a group it will be difficult to stay together.

The grass was too tall. It is exposed to the public and does not speak to the name retreat. There were a pair of boxer briefs by the portable potty.

Rouge Trout camp was the perfect location for our annual fishing trip. The owners were super easy to communicate with and very helpful. We had a group of 12 and prefer and campground not near all the lights and generators of a public campgrounds. We caught a good number of trout right from the property. Well most definitely be back.
