Red Creek Campground

Red Creek Campground is a primitive 12-site first-come, first-served campground ($11/night) atop the Allegheny Plateau within Dolly Sods Scenic Area, offering vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site.

The campground serves as an excellent base for accessing extensive hiking trails throughout the Dolly Sods Wilderness, with some trailheads directly adjacent to the campground; note that the water pump is non-functional, so visitors must bring water or use the nearby spring source.

Access requires driving approximately 10 miles on gravel Forest Service roads, and the campground is open mid-April through early December with no cell service available.
