Rudds Creek Rec. Area

We had a great stay at the camp ground once again. Everyone was friendly and courteous. Bath house was clean and within easy walking distance. My only negative was that site 52 was pretty steep and we almost could not unhook the boat trailer because of the truck angle leaving the trailer very close to the ground. It did say in the description it is steep, just have to pick a different site in the future. 5 stars, we always enjoy staying here.

Great place. Large level sites. Beautiful views. Nice showers and bathrooms. People very friendly.

I reported to Roger that my site was trashed & I had spent an hour cleaning up over 3 dozen cigarette butts & debris from to fill a large trash bag. He said he’d notify Ranger to come by. NO ONE CAME BY — I guess no body cared about my bad experience!

Stayed in site 24 and I was very impressed. It was Columbus Day weekend and most of Rudd's Creek was filled, except for the standard sites. These sites have no hookups, but that suits my kind of camping. What impressed me most was how the sites around #24 were positioned. It seemed as if you were in the woods all by yourself. Very quiet and peaceful.

The site was large, with plenty of space for my tent (14' x 14.5') plus my boat and truck, along with my son's car. The standard fixtures of picnic table and fire ring were in great shape, plus I liked the separate pedestal table which made a perfect place to cook. Site was convenient to the showers and the bathrooms were clean and but not well stocked that weekend, my only disappointment.

There is a boat ramp a short distance from the camp site but there is no parking area for the trailer, so we opted for the boat ramp across the road from the campground. Great ramps and plenty of parking. It's a short run to the main body of Kerr Lake. Also, my grandson liked the playground area a short walk from the camp site. Also a nice looking swim area with a sand beach. Too cold to use it this weekend.

This was my first time using the Virginia campground and I was pleasantly surprised. I was also very pleased with the folks at the gate. Super friendly and helpful. In fact, they asked if I had a senior pass and then applied it to the site rental, cutting the price in half. It would be good for Recreation.gov to improve their billing process because when I reserved the site, there was no indication that the Senior Pass was accepted.

Great camping experience though and I do recommend the recreation area.

Our power did not work at our site, it ran our battery dead. We had to purchase a new battery which we did not need due to the electrical box not being grounded. The park ranger called for emergency work order Saturday night however Sunday the problem came back so we had to check out early due to the frustration and fear of the electrical box messing up our camper.
