Rangers were mostly absent. The campground was clean and quiet but the buildings showed many sins of disrepair. The lack of funding is apparent.

Very handy having the campground on the Blue Ridge Parkway and close to Lynchburg city. Bummer is not having Internet. It is nice having level camping areas (as opposed to Peaks of Otter campsite) and a handy comfort station. One reason for not giving a 5 star rating was the poor condition of the bench seats which were quite rotted wood (site 0037) and the poor condition of the fire grate. Fortunately my friend had site 036 just across the road. It would be great if the fire grates could be leveled easily for frying/cooking. Next year I will look at taking some rocks or sticks of wood to put under the fire pit rim to provide some leveling. Staff were very accommodating and it was a good experience. The restroom (comfort station) was clean when I arrived :).

We had a blast at Otter Creek! Our 2 daughters (7 & 8 years old) had the most fun playing in the creek that was so close to our site. We also loved the fishing, just down the road. The tent site was level and cleared of debris. The staff was exceptionally friendly, telling us about the area, wild life that we might see and just starting up conversations to get to know the visitors! We highly recommend going to Otter Creek and will definitely be back!
