Welcome to Middle Creek Campground! We are nestled back in a holler of the Blue Ridge Mountains at the foot of Fork Mountain. A Dark Sky paradise located near an abundance of outdoor adventures, including the upper James River, the Appalachian Trail and The Blue Ridge Parkway.

Our family are the care-takers of a small, rural, mountain campground and blessed to live among such beauty and be able to share it with like minded individuals and families.  We  offer 30 and 30/50 amp sites.  All have water and electric.  We also have some full hookup 30/50 sites.

Located 6.2 country miles from I-81 at exit 168 or just under 7 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway at MM 89/90 (Powell’s Gap), or about 15 miles by Rt. 43 through Buchanan.

Situated about 30 miles north of the Roanoke/Salem area and about 15 miles south of Lexington along the 81 corridor.

The road in is a 6.2 mile asphalt VDOT approved country road. It winds through some of the most beautiful and diverse scenery. You’ll cross the James River, (fun fact- the headwater is in Botetourt County – west of here in a little town called Iron Gate. ) cross over the railroad track and through Arcadia proper into the Jefferson National Forest. Winding for 2 miles through lush greenery, or brilliant fall colors, depending on the season, along Jennings Creek. The last mile is from Jennings Creek to the Camp along Middle Creek Road. You will climb one mile to an elevation of 1158′ along this state owned and maintained rural mountain road to Camp. I know some reviews hit the roads pretty hard, but it really depends on the driver. If you are brand new to a big rig or towing, this road may be daunting, to someone used to pulling a trailer or driving a big rig, it’s nothing. Our reservation system is set up to try and mitigate the issue, so if you are a competent driver/hauler who doesn’t think it would be an issue -lower the size of your RV in the reservation process and you will see more sites available.

Phone reception depends on your carrier, Verizon, AT&T and US Cellular usually have good service.  HOWEVER, the campground is in the shadow of Fork Mountain and reception in the lower campground service can be very limited. If you need Wi-Fi, look into your options for bringing what you need.  Reception is best in the upper campground and near the pool.

Please, surf through our site for hiking trails in the area, “secret”swimming holes, and some super cool places to visit. There is always a corn hole game going on somewhere and we have some fantastic karaoke.

We are here to offer you the chance to unplug, unwind, and get back to this beautiful natural world God has created for us!
