London District

Drive-In Campgrounds. The Forest Service oversees two developed drive-in campgrounds. The campgrounds, at Holly Bay and Grove, are open from mid-April through October. Both campgrounds provide electricity, drinking water, flush toilets and shower facilities.

Boat-In Campgrounds. Forest Service boat-in campgrounds at Grove and White Oak are accessible only by boat. The campgrounds provide drinking water, vault toilets and trash bins. Boat-in campgrounds are open year round.

Group Campgrounds. Craigs Creek Group Camp is designed to accommodate parties of 12 or more people. The camp has three group sites, a picnic shelter, drinking water, vault toilets, and trash bins. A short trail leads from the campground to the lake.

Lakeside Camping. Primitive camping is allowed at designated areas on the lake. These areas are marked with signs showing a tent symbol and the words "Primitive Camping". There are no facilities provided and campers must pack out their trash. Camping is also allowed in non-designated areas, but your site must be at least 300 feet from roads, trails, streams or shorelines.

Picnicking. The Forest Service operates picnic grounds at Laurel Bridge, Flatwoods, and Grove on Laurel River Lake. The picnic grounds at Laurel Bridge have flush toilets and a picnic shelter. The Army Corps of Engineers maintains a picnic area near Laurel River Dam.
