Steel Bridge Campground

Steel Bridge Group Campground provides old-fashioned, rustic group and family camping for those that require few amenities. There are three well shaded camping sites available for small group camping. Visitors enjoy splashing in the cool water of Potts Creek that edges the campground. Potts Creek is a stocked trout stream and has a small swimming hole as well as many rock ledges and small falls to play in. The three campsites are color coded Red, White and Blue. Red and Blue have a maximum occupancy of 25 people and 10 vehicles per site, and White has a maximum capacity of 10 people and three vehicles. Larger groups must take more than one site, and there is no minimum occupancy at any site. All camping must be within the designated campsites; tents, vehicles and the like cannot be outside the boundary of your campsite. The area adjacent to the entrance gate is for day use only, open to all permit holders of the three campsites, and not for overnight use. Each group area contains a group fire ring and picnic tables. Two primitive toilets are located within the campground. There is no potable water and no hookups. The campground is set in a narrow valley, flanked by National Forest land, with Potts Creek lying adjacent. Steel Bridge is located 5 minutes from Paint Bank, VA, and 25 minutes from New Castle, VA.
