Steel Bridge Campground

Enjoy splashing or fishing in the cool water of Potts Creek, a stocked trout stream adjacent to this rustic campground and day use area. The campground has three unpaved and well-shaded campsites situated along a single dirt road that parallels the creek. A parking area is available for day-use visitors. Historic Paint Bank, Virginia is a scenic three mile drive from here.
