The oral history of Coal Mine Hollow has it that a moonshine still once graced the banks of Camp Cedar Creek. It was run by a recluse, who was always on the move from the Revenuers. A revenuer went missing along Cedar Creek one moonlit night, never to be seen again. The bearded recluse who ran the still, owned two mules, and an old car frame without a motor. Those mules would pull him through the hollow, and up into the mountains, where the revenuers never found him. Some say on a cold, moonlit night, they’ve seen his two old mules, pulling an old car frame past Camp Cedar Creek.

Site 1 - Camp Cedar Creek

This weekend was the 2nd time our group has camped at Dave’s site. This time Hurricane Milton’s pass through VA was just a few days before we arrived. Dave & Josh did a great job of cleaning up the sites, and Cedar Creek was looking nice!

Site 1 - Camp Cedar Creek

We loved camping at Camp Cedar Creek! Our camp site was lovely and private. We enjoyed the sounds of the creek and the birds, and couldn’t even hear people from other campsites during our 2-night stay. The site was equipped with a picnic table and fire pit, as well as a grate if you needed it (we had our own), and had a good flat area for our tent. We were able to drive our small SUV to Site 1, though a car with lower clearance could have difficulty driving right up to this site. (For any cars that can’t make it directly to the site, there’s a general area you can park that would just be a short walk to the site.) David reached out to us about this when we booked, offering to transport our gear to the site if we needed to park in the general area. David was a very friendly, communicative and attentive host! He checked in to make sure we took the best route to the site and met us at the camp entrance to make sure we got to our site okay. He also provided plenty of firewood for a small fee. We had a nice weekend and would definitely go back!

Site 5 - Camp Cedar Creek

This hipcamp was a wonderful experience. We stayed at site 5, with more family at site 4. It wasn’t exactly next door, but it was a beautiful walk up the hill to the other site. The bathroom was a bit of a hike, but no complaints here. The creek is incredible. We will definitely be back.

Site 3 - Camp Cedar Creek

Creekside camping

These sites are a gem! We had a wonderful time camping here for a long weekend. We stayed at Campsite 3 which was very spacious and right next to the creek and had everything we needed. The sites are spaced apart so you feel remote/private. It was lovely to hear the water each morning and we found a great little fishing spot just up the trail. David was very communicative and helpful, and met us right as we arrived. We loved the walking trail and simply exploring/playing in the creek. We will certainly be back!
