Good campground for an overnight stay. The Otter Creek Trail was a good hike!

I showed up late but it was easy to find my site and I had a peaceful night in my truck camper.

Beautiful spot, close to multiple hiking trails. Fire pit and grate were helpful. Bathroom facilities were clean. Highly recommend.

We love Otter Creek. I have been coming since I was a child and we were able to take my girls for the first time!

Quiet and peaceful spot, Park rangers, and campground hits made the entire experience pleasant and enjoyable. Too bad it rained almost the whole time. But it ain't camping if it doesn't rain haha

Great site and easy to navigate with our class B campervan. Staff was very friendly and available late. We were able to arrive a day early and get our same site we had previously booked. There was alot of shade which impacted our ability to get a good signal with our Starlink.

The campground is in great condition. The asphalt has all been redone in the last year or two. The Rangers, working without pay due to the shutdown, were very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful and well maintained campground.
@HenryHF2C1D684 · Camped on Sep 24, 2025 at Campsite #64

We love all the work done on Otter Creek campground. The asphalt on the sites is so much better. Love this campground.
@RobertF6718628 · Camped on Sep 19, 2025 at Campsite #12
The park ranger was very helpful. Proximity to beautiful hiking trails was a plus. Otter Creek was gorgeous. The campground was laid out well with nice tent pads built up.
@CarolynR850857 · Camped on Sep 6, 2025 at Campsite #53
The campground is beautiful. It was not heavily populated. The host was friendly. There are many beautiful sites.
@LindaL9678479 · Camped on Aug 29, 2025 at Campsite #64
We enjoy this campground a couple of times a year. Unfortunately, at our last visit someone left their dog unattended in their pop up camper and the poor dog barked and barked for hours. There needs to be better enforcement of the rules.
@BrendaKBA35628 · Camped on Aug 2, 2025 at Campsite #50
Campground is convenient , right along BR Parkway. Quiet location with creek running alongside which masks any light traffic noise.. Bathrooms are clean, our ranger was friendly and helpful. Will be headed back to keep exploring the area. Close to Otter Lake Dam, James River footbridge and Enchanted creek 4x4 trail.
@RonaldL5882019 · Camped on Jul 25, 2025 at Campsite #1
Had a great time at otter creek. The staff was friendly and very professional. The sites were clean and well organized. I will return soon and I already recommend otter creek to all of my friends. Even though it was to hot to be camping in had a great time. Two thumbs up .
@PhilipM3845838 · Camped on Jul 1, 2025 at Campsite #17
We really enjoyed our nearly weeklong stay at Ottercreek. The host and ranger were helpful and friendly.
@Erinc6378035 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #57
Otter Creek was built a long time ago. The sites are small, not level, and have a lot of vegetation that makes them very buggy sites. The creek is lovely but access is difficult. I think for young campers who are bonding with nature, this might be great. We found it to be ok for a night or two but not so much for any longer.
@GeorgeJF8D5A87 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #42
Camp ground was great, Ranger was very friendly and helpful. My only compliant is the loud inconsiderate people camping there, they were very loud into the evening. The kids is one thing but the adults getting loud with them instead of calming them down was another. I feel there needs to be a sign telling people to consider other people around them. Most of us go camping to enjoy the quiet and relax
@AudreyY67A2945 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #12
Nice and quiet! Clean bathrooms
@BryanB5307707 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #67
All the roads and sites are newly paved. The historic curbing is refreshed. And the tent sites all had new pads in place. The overall campground has been cleaned up really well and we enjoyed our stay. The park ranger was helpful and friendly. I would recommend this campground to anyone looking for a quiet place to camp for a few days. There are no hookups but there is a dump station and a bath house with restrooms, but no showers.
@EricaS4599853 · Camped on May 24, 2025 at Campsite #6
Facility was well managed by very friendlyRangers. The newly renovated tent pads were great, they are elevated off the ground a bit. Overall we had a great experience!
@myagFBA93ABDF6 · Camped on Aug 20, 2023 at Campsite #9
very nice campground on the parkway, we loved that our site was right by the creek where we found lots of crawdads and salamanders. otter lake and the james river are both only a few miles away on the parkway which was really lovely. no cell service at the campground but i had service at both otter lake and the james river visitor center area. very quiet and wooded, but the sites along the creek are somewhat close to the parkway, though we didnt have any problems with that (a few groups of motorcycles went by in the morning but that was the only time it was noticable). the camp hosts were kind and helpful and rangers were around as well. no firewood for sale at the campground but we went into town a few miles up the road from the parkway to get some. lots of kindling around to be gathered though. we had a lovely time!
@KimC2311597 · Camped on Aug 15, 2023 at Campsite #1
The sites were private. Campground was clean and the Rangers were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond for us. They were wonderful

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
