Creekside camping on Cedar Creek, one of the cleanest creeks in America. You'll be surrounded by beautiful scenery with a fire pit at each site. Enjoy birdwatching, wood turtles, wood ducks, eagles, hawks, blue crane, and other wildlife.  Cell phones optional! Take day trips to wineries, farm markets, orchards, historic sites, and more. Enjoy fishing, hiking, National Forest, biking, solitude and nature. Outdoor shower and port-a-john on site. Cornhole boards, firewood and load-in assistance available upon request for a small fee.  Nearby attractions include fishing, hiking, swimming, wineries, biking, orchards, Skyline Drive, and GW national forest. The oral history of Coal Mine Hollow has it that a moonshine still once graced the banks of Camp Cedar Creek. It was run by a recluse, who was always on the move from the Revenuers. A revenuer went missing along Cedar Creek one moonlit night, never to be seen again.  The bearded recluse who ran the still, owned two mules, and an old car frame without a motor. Those mules would pull him through the hollow, and up into the mountains, where the revenuers never found him. Some say on a cold, moonlit night, they’ve seen his two old mules, pulling an old car frame past Camp Cedar Creek.

Camp Cedar Creek stands out for its spacious, private sites nestled along a picturesque creek, offering a tranquil escape into nature. Guests frequently commend David, the host, for his attentive service and willingness to assist with logistics like transporting gear. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, some mention the need for a vehicle with higher clearance to navigate the terrain. Overall, the site promises a serene camping experience with clean facilities, ample space for families, and opportunities for creekside relaxation.

Site 1 - Camp Cedar Creek
We are repeat campers at Camp Cedar Creek! This is definitely one of my favorite camping spots - big sites, beautiful, good sized creek, secluded, responsive host. It really doesn’t get better. We rented 4 of the sites this time and had a large group (up to about 38 people on one day) and it worked great. People were constantly saying “we see why you love this place”. David is a great host, very friendly, very responsive, and always willing to help out. I highly recommend Camp Cedar Creek!

Site 5 - Camp Cedar Creek
We had a wonderful stay at camp site #5. It has a beautiful view of the river and plenty of space for a large group(6 adults and 2 dogs). We were able to tube down the river in the afternoon sun and take a cold plunge in the morning light. Several farmers markets within a quick drive, but it’s a great campsite to never leave.

Site 3 - Camp Cedar Creek
Amazing weekend! We loved camping at site #3. It was right in the creek, big site that could fit multiple tents. David was very nice and easy to communicate with. He met us when we got there and gave us the option of driving directly to our site or he could haul everything for us if he didn’t think our car could make it over the creek. AWD or 4x4 recommend but David is so nice he offered to haul in his truck. We drove to is with our suv no problem. Even the drive to his campsite is beautiful! You really feel like you’re in the mountains. We were lucky enough to see and hear all sorts of wild life! Our kids had a blast exploring the creek and fishing in it. Creek never gets deep enough to past the kids hips. So we felt very comfortable. The site was well equipped with a nice big table to place or prep meals. There was also a line hung from tree to tree that we used to hang wet clothes, gear and even attached our dogs leash to it at time. The trees provided lots of shade. We went to explore the other campsites and they are all beautiful as well. The port-john was sooo clean and a very short walk from our site. There is an outdoor shower but we just didn’t use it. All sites are spread apart real nice where we didn’t hear or see our neighbors. We can’t wait to be back! 100% recommend! Such a hidden gem and super easy drive from DC/northern VA!

Site 4 - Camp Cedar Creek
David’s land is beautiful and picturesque for camping. We originally had site 4 booked, but site 1 also opened up, and David showed us both sites and let us choose. We went with site 1 because it was right next to the creek (site 4 still has a nice overlook of the creek and is more separated from the other sites, if that’s your preference). All of the sights seem to have plenty of privacy. David was super nice and helpful. He even helped us unload and load our gear in his truck since site 1 was difficult to drive up to in a vehicle with low clearance. And again, site 1 rules. It’s fantastic. We can’t wait to come back.
