Warrior Creek

Warrior Creek is located on the south side of W. Kerr Scott Reservoir in western North Carolina. Constructed in the beautiful Yadkin River Valley, the lake offers extensive opportunities for outdoor recreational activities. The 1,475-acre reservoir offers excellent boating, canoeing, kayaking and swimming. Anglers will find channel catfish, large and smallmouth bass, bluegill, threadfin shad, spotted bass, striped bass and hybrid striped bass. The Warrior Creek trail system completely encircles the campground as it scenically follows the fold of the surrounding landscape, and is recognized by the International Mountain Biking Association as one of the top bike trails in the world. There are 17 miles of single track trail with multiple points of entry throughout the campground, used extensively by hikers and trail runners as well. The campground offers 61 family campsites; 6 of these are tent-only sites that do have electric hookups, and the other 55 have full electrical and water hookups to support RVs. There are also two group camping areas that are perfect for large groups. Amenities include flush and vault toilets, showers, drinking water and a dump station. An amphitheater, playground, basketball court and hiking and biking trails offer additional recreation, and a boat ramp and three fishing piers, one of which is ADA accessible, can be found at Keowee Park, which borders the campground. All camping reservations are made in advance; no transactions will be completed at the campground. The gentle Yadkin River flows through its scenic namesake valley in the foothills of the eastern Blue Ridge Mountains. Forests of mixed hardwoods, including sycamore, poplar, oak and hickory, cover the region. Wildlife is abundant in the valley: white-tailed deer, black bear, eastern cottontails and more can be found among the hills, and birds in the area include wild turkey, woodpeckers, Carolina chickadees, red-eyed vireo, ovenbirds, mallards and wood ducks.
