Abram's Creek Campground offers a beautiful, quiet location along a creek, ideal for families and nature lovers. The campground is well-maintained with clean facilities, and many sites provide immediate access to hiking trails. However, access can be challenging due to a rough road, and some visitors noted issues with noise and cleanliness in shared areas. Overall, it's a charming spot worth visiting again.

Abrams Creek campground has beautiful hiking trails! The bathrooms and campsite were clean and well kept. The park ranger was very helpful answering all of our questions. The only downside is that the campsites are grouped very close together.

We had a great time tent camping at Abram’s Creek! Beautiful fall weather. The facilities were as described. Campsites were level and spaced apart enough that we didn’t feel too close to neighbors. I would stay there again!

This campground was less accessible from main roads than I had expected.

Beautiful setting. but campsites were much, much too close to each other. I would not go back there due to the lack of privacy.

Don’t forget the bug spray as I got ate up with chiggers. I loved everything else and wish I could have stayed longer, never seen any fish but the other wildlife was around to watch. I wish there were some grassy areas for the tent pads but I understand they would be harder to maintain. You’ll enjoy it and we only had one that came late to set up.

The campsite was adequate. Negatives were mosquitoes, noise from late arrival camper during quiet time, Abrams Falls trail closure during weekdays

A tranquil spot without too many other campsites. Venturing over near the ranger’s station after dark gives a breathtaking view of the stars and a picturesque sight of sunrise.

Nice camping area. Depending on the site you select the tent pad can be to small for even two small tents. I had to drive out to a place to get internet so I could reserve different site so we could put up two small tents. It would be very very helpful if the sites stated the tent pad dimensions.

Camped 2 nights on September 19. We are a family of four from Costa Rica. First time visit to TGSM. Our experience was really good. September weather and nature is somewhat similar to some places in our country. Restrooms were very clean, and park rangers visited daily to clean and to move the trash. There was only one bear box to store food in, but we were the only ones using it, although there were other families in the campground. We reserved 2 sites, number 4 and 12. We arrived at 12 afternoon and the sites were reserved for us. When planning our visit, I was concerned that the campsites were small, and to follow rules, and not pitch the tent outside the designated camp path, is why I reserved the 2 sites. Made a good decision because 2 tents (ours are small 2 person tents) would not fit in only one camp site. Site 12 is near the restroom, and below some trees. The tent path should be improved to better drain water as a puddle of water appeared after heavy rain and this affected one of the tents as water entered inside it. We did not had this problem in site 4. Site 4 is near the creek and mosquitos can be a problem, so keep that in mind and maintain your tent closed at all times. Overall we had a great experience although it rained on us during our first day. On the second day, my son and I hiked to camp site 17, and my wife and daughter stayed at site 12, and they enjoyed their stay. Trail head for site 17 is near the campground which made it convenient for what we had planed. Suggest to improve the drain capacity on site 12 and figure a way to improve access to the campground as the entry road fits only one vehicle. A couple of times when we drove there we had to put reverse to allow the other car to pass, or hope for the other driver to do the same and allow us to pass first. Chose this campground because is not crowded and is more secluded, which makes it great in the current pandemic. Visit our YouTube channel, Ticofam, for videos of our visit.
