Abrams Creek Campground
Rustic, beautiful, and kind
My friends and I loved Abrams! We are 4 visibly queer people (including POC), so we were a little nervous, but Sarah made us feel very safe and welcome. The campgrounds themselves are so beautiful. The site that was recommended to us was perfect - large, private, and close to the creek. We were bummed to only stay one night! The wood is very reasonably priced, and I appreciated Sarah's orientation to help us get familiar with the grounds. Our only concerns were that the portapotties were a little rough (including the one by our site which was difficult to lock without help), and we picked up a lot of trash around our site before unpacking. We appreciated the handwashing sink though. Abrams has a much more rustic vibe than a traditional campground (which we loved), and we'd definitely stay there again. Note - the site we stayed at probably required 4WD! Worked for us, but may be harder for other cars.

Great space at site 20 right next to the water yet somehow no mosquitoes and they usually eat me alive. 5 year old sons first time camping and it was perfect for him. Swimming was a big highlight and the hosts were super responsive.

Great Spot!
Wonderful experience at Abrams Campground. The staff was friendly and helped us pick a spot and gave info. We tent camped, our spot was secluded and right next to a beautiful swimming hole. The water is crystal clear. Very quiet and peaceful. We walked around the grounds and saw many different beautiful sites that we would definitely go back to stay at. We would definitely reccomended this spot.

Stayed creekside at site 15
A nice stop on a beautiful stream. Site 15 was nice and shaded from the heat of the day. Cooler air was drawn in by a nice breeze off the creek. Quite evening environment.

Almost Heaven
Abrams Creek is among the most beautiful and serene places we’ve been. What was most memorable in addition to the serenity of the sound of water rushing over rocks through the creek was the climate. Consistently, the weather around Abrams Creek is 10-15 degrees cooler than it is in DC (where we live). This weekend (late June), it was in the mid-90s in DC and in the high 70s or low 80s at ACC mid-day. Our kids had so much fun splashing in the creek and running around the peaceful trails and there were enough people around that we didn’t feel alone but enough space to really feel secluded. Moreover, being right off a well paved road and ~8 minutes from little stores made us feel like we could get what we needed with no issue. One thing to note is that there are only porta potties at ACC and if you (or your kids) are not into that sort of thing, it requires a little creativity. That being said, the experience is well worth it! With great proximity to Seneca Rocks (and their awesome visitor center), Blackwater Falls, and Davis, this place is at the top of our list.

We had a wonderful weekend of tent camping at Abrams Creek. The site chosen for our group of 6 was large, with a beautiful view of the creek. We had two larger tents, and there was plenty of flat, open space to set them up & still have tons of room for other things. The access to the creek was great and provided hours of exploring. We were also right near a swimming hole, which my kids loved. The campgrounds were well kept and the hosts were wonderful. We will absolutely make this one of our yearly camping destinations!
