What Guests Are Saying

Hopper Creek Group Camp is a beloved campsite, praised for its cleanliness, well-stocked bathrooms, and beautiful, secluded setting near Devil's Marbleyard. Campers appreciate the spacious grassy areas, clear tent pads, and the soothing sounds of the creek. While some maintenance issues, such as a rusted grill and debris from a fallen tree, have been noted, the overall experience remains positive, and many visitors plan to return.

Love this camp. I have rented it 29 times and always enjoyed it. We try to leave some firewood and clean up our trash.

Awesome spot close to Devil's Marbleyard! Definitely no cell service. Clean vault toilet, clear tent pads, a massive fire ring and a small one near the picnic tables. Big grassy open area that still allowed for plenty of sun and shade. Easy remote car camping. Country store a few miles up the road and local firewood for purchase at a home I noticed on my way in. I'll be back!

Quiet and secluded. Bathroom clean and well stocked with paper. Soothing sound of creek. Couldn't ask for more

Camp site was clean, bathrooms look refreshed since my last visit, located right where we needed it to be for our Scout Troop. Easy to get to, easy access. Wish they would add a water source, but the location is great. Cost is right.

Clean, private. We used one of the trash receptacles as a bear box for a food cooler

Great camp site. Workers keeping it clean through the shutdown. We carried off all of our trash. Left some firewood.

We love this place. We’ve been staying here for 30 years. However, it has really gone down hill in the last few years. The grill has been rusted out for at three years. They felled a really big tree in the middle of the camp, which smashed a picnic table. They left the whole mess there, blocking one of the tent areas.
The outhouse is always clean, and never stinky. Still a great place, but it needs some maintenance.

This campsite was perfect. Secluded but 10 minutes from all the Natural Bridge attractions.

It was clean and the toilet was well stocked (bring your own hand sanitizer!). The creek running next to it was a pleasant surprise.

Two fire pits, two gravel camping pads. The grill is rusted out, but we weren’t planning to use it anyway so no loss to us.

Basically no cell service but that was just fine by us :-)

Love this place, we’ve been coming for years. The outhouse was nice and clean, with no odor.
I’d give it five stars, except the grill is completely rusted out on both sides. We weren’t able to use it. It’s been that way for about two years.
