The day-use picnic shelter fits 60 guests, and the group campsites fit up to 30 and 60 guests, depending on the location. Each group camp area comes with a campfire circle, large grill, picnic tables and a lantern pole. Modern vault toilets and a shower house are available.The campground sits on Craig's Creek, which flows into an arm of Laurel River Lake across from Holly Bay Campground. The group site lies in a somewhat open space surrounded by woods. Set in the Appalachian foothills, plenty of hills and valleys create a beautiful backdrop for the lake area.The hiking and biking trail at Craig's Creek is an easy, half-mile path that features several views of the lake.
