Details
Please send camp fee to Doris the wonderful organizer…
Debdeb is just her humble side kick 😁.
If you've never been to Hopper Creek Group Campground you are in for a treat. Its one of my favorite campgrounds due to its enormous fire ring, the privacy and location near great attractions.
-Devil's Marble Yard (an Epic Rock Scramble)
-Natural Bridge
-Appalachian Trail
"Hopper Creek Group Campground offers a shaded and rustic atmosphere for group tent camping with an open area for activities and a large campfire ring for evening gatherings. Because only one group can reserve the area at a time, it offers a great opportunity for privacy and solitude."
"The group camp can accommodate up to 50 people. It is designated for tent camping only, and tent pads are provided. The site is equipped with 12 picnic tables, a pedestal double grill, a large campfire circle and a vault toilet. Drinking water is not provided; campers must bring their own supply. Showers are available at nearby Cave Mountain Lake Recreation Area - at the beach bathhouse. A day use fee would apply to Hopper Creek campers entering Cave Mountain Lake."
This is basically a car camping trip. You do have to walk your gear to where ever you want to set up. You will need to provide your own camping gear and your own food.
I have reserved the site for up to 25 people. Per the website, it says only 8 cars, but I believe more can fit. Just try to ride with someone if you can.
IMPORTANT: I will not be providing a carpool location but I would advise you come before dark as it is kind of hard to find in the dark if you are not familiar and cell service is spotty. Also when I went a few weeks ago the Hoppers sign was torn down.

There will be $10 non-refundable fee per person. When you sign up, you will have 10 days to make a payment to Doris or you will be removed from the list. Please message for payment information. I do PayPal, Zelle, check, cash and Venmo.
On Wednesday before the event a decision will be made as to the weather and if its a go. If cancelled due to weather you will be refunded at this time. If its raining and/or colder than 25, I will probably cancel, but we can make a group decision.
By sign up, you are responsible for your own safety. We are not guides.
