About Rudds Creek Rec. Area

Rudds Creek Park is located on John H. Kerr Reservoir, a 50,000-acre lake that extends 39 miles up the wooded, cove-studded shoreline of the Roanoke River in Virginia and North Carolina. Rudd's Creek Campground is open April 1 - October 31. The Day Use Park, located across Hwy 58, is open year-around. Kerr Reservoir, also known as Buggs Island Lake, was created with the construction of the John H. Kerr Dam in 1952. Its 800 miles of wooded shoreline stretch across six counties in two states and offer countless recreation opportunities for visitors.

Nice generally level spot with plenty of road space to walk the dogs. Upon arrival (in a downpour), there was a large puddle of water all around the electric pedestal - this was a bit disconcerting. After the rain, the puddle subsided. No one was hurt.

Rudds Creek campground is like getting back to nature. Sites are large and far enough apart so you can feel the real camping experience. Sites are mostly level and easy to get into. Roads are paved and well maintained. Bathrooms and shower houses are very clean. The staff in the guard couldn’t have been any better. They were friendly and most helpful in making the best of our stay. Rudds is by far my favorite campground on Buggs Island lake. Keep up the great work.

We wish to thank Camp Host Ms. Marlene for going above and beyond helping us with putting sites together when the Reservation.gov app was showing all campsites were booked for the remainder of the year. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back again next year!
