Steel Bridge Campground

It was a little piece of heaven. Large site, clean and quiet. Good fishing stream at your doorsteps. Does't get much better. The entire area is a great experience. Paint Bank General store, grazing buffalo and amazing scenery.

Beautiful Campground. Loved the privacy!

It was surprisingly empty. It is a beautiful site built along the river (Potts creek). These waters are stocked with trout about 6 to 8 times per year. Unfortunately, this campground is slowly but surely being neglected and eventually forgotten. The trails are completely neglected. This is a huge shame as Craig County Virginia is a arguably one of the best hiking, camping, hunting and fishing locations in the state. Starting with my daughters, I've camped here with family on and off since the 90's . I hope to take my grandchildren here. It used to be a beautiful, old-school, first-come, first-served multiple site campground. Most of that is gone now and the various old campsites have either been closed off entirely, or are now clustered into one of three "group" sites. No electric, no potable water at all, vault toilets, no trash service and no bear boxes whatsoever. These last two things are a problem as this is bear country. We saw a very glossy coated, healthy young lad crossing HWY18 heading toward the creek just about 300-500 yards south of our campsite. Keep your trash and food put up and locked. Also get the combination for the gate lock for both this week and the prior week via phone prior to leaving home. Do not rely on the gate lock code provided in the confirmation email alone. The prior week's code worked for the first day and the next two days were covered by "this week's" combination. However despite all of the shortcomings, because of the fishing and the beauty we'll be back next year.

Campsite is great except for lack of a grill to throw some charcoal on. Main problem is that you need a code to unlock the gate to drive your car in and it's only in the fine print of the email that you have to call ahead Monday-Friday for the code if they don't send it in the email. This should be in the first line in bold letters. Luckily we found one other camper there and showed them our confirmation and he helped us out.

A family favorite for years now!

Very peaceful one of my favorite places no cell service is a real plus. A chance to leave it all and relax

It is very overgrown, and no way will the site hold as many people as stated. The gate lock is terrible.

Lock codes for the reservation were not correct and there is no phone service at the campground. It was terribly inconvenient to get to the gate while pulling the camper only to turn around and return home. This was the second time this year that we were emailed the wrong gate codes.

Steelbridge Campground is such an amazing place. From the other campers, to the remote location and lack of cell access it really is the perfect place to unplug and enjoy the important things in life. Campsite was wonderful and the perfect location to the outhouse and the beautiful creek. We will absolutely be back- I have been camping here since I was 15!

Overall the campground seemed to be cleaner than previous stays. Hopefully the issue with the gate code was resolved. On earlier reservations we got to the campground only to find out we had been sent the wrong code. Everything went better this trip.
