Camping Near Mossy Creek?

[Ryan Payne]

I'm headed down to Mossy Creek next weekend with a fellow TPFR-er to chase some big browns.  Can anyone suggest a good place to camp nearby? We would like to be somewhere not too far away from Mossy.  As first timers to Mossy, we're planning to hire a guide, so we're looking to pinch pennies with our accommodations.

Thanks!
Ryan

The campground at Natural Chimney's is probably your closest option and has tent sites for less than $20 on weeknights.  http://www.co.augusta.va.us/Index.aspx?page=617

 

I believe the campground closes on October 31 though, so if you mean the weekend of 11/2 you'll have to look elsewhere.

Hone quarry campground isn't far away and it's $5 a night . It's off of 257 in the GW forest west of mossy. The good- it's right by a stocked stream, has a picnic table and fire pit, it's close to a reservoir where I've caught fish. The bad- no water just a pit toilet, no cell service(you could put that in good column). When I head out that way it's perfect for me. I'm just looking for a place to put up my tent and sleep after a long day of getting skunked on mossy. Forgot to mention it's really close to Beaver Creek so it's helps in getting one of the 4 passes.

Thanks! Looks like both would work great. We're going the week of Nov. 2nd, so we'll probably check out Hone Quarry this time.

We used to camp in the gw forest for free back in the day. Head west from mossy and up into the hills. Plenty of pull offs.

Rob is right, there are places to pull off and camp on the side. The ones off of Hone Quarry rd. we're pretty beat up and $5 for a table and my truck not taking a beating seemed the better deal. I remember there were nicer ones that were easy to get to off that road that takes you to Todd Lake and North River Campground. Remember it's hunting season so it might be more crowded up there than you think.

And wear your blaze orange!
