Tea Creek Campground

About

Tea Creek Campground occupies a scenic setting at the confluence of the Williams River and Tea Creek in the heart of Monongahela National Forest. The 28-site campground is split between an upper loop with 18 sites and a lower loop with 10 sites, all featuring gravel surfaces, parking spurs, picnic tables, fire rings with grills, and lantern posts. The campground serves as a recreational hub for the Tea Creek Trail System, with four trailheads located within the campground itself. The trail network spans 44 miles of non-motorized backcountry routes popular with hikers and mountain bikers. Fishing opportunities abound in the adjacent Williams River and Tea Creek, and the area is open to hunting in season. Facilities include vault toilets and a hand pump providing potable water, both available during the open season. Three bear-proof trash cages are distributed throughout the campground. No hookups, showers, or dump station are available. Sites are first-come, first-served with payment at the self-service fee station.
