I've been hard on the ACOE for not staffing the gate or even having a working gate at Warrior Creek this season '26. Sure, no firewood or ice either. However, I want to end on a positive note that we had a Wonderfull weekend camping on site 53, October 8 to 11, despite Hurricane Isaias that dumped 7+ inches of rain on us and the area. We watched the river rise, our waterfront site go from a large grassy slope down to the waters edge to being much closer to the water and I was reminded how important this flood control reservoir is to the Wilkesboro's. This is the ACOE's first priority. Volunteer Camp Hosts are important, security is a nice to have, wood and ice is a luxury I'd say, but the Army Corp of Engineers keeping the surrounding community safe must remain priority 1. We will be back to camp next season as we love these campgrounds.

It had been a few years since we had camped at warrior creek, and I am happy to say that the sites are so much better. By that, I mean they were spacious and level. The site was layed out very well. The fire rings were ample distance from the camper area, water and power hookup were located where they should be. I don’t know if all sites were like this, but the inlaid timber was perfect to follow when lining up to back the camper in. The bathhouse was very clean. To my surprise, there is an ice machine available beside the bathhouse. We will definitely plan to go back.

We visited mid-week in early October. The campground was mostly empty, quiet and dark at night; perfect for our liking. A walk around the campground showed most of the sites to be large and shaded with some grade to get into the site but a flat spot to park. Unfortunately, the prior occupants of our site and the adjacent sites, left trash. I picked up a grocery bag full of trash, including full-size glass alcohol bottles, that were thrown into the trees. Campers, please leave no trace!

Such a wonderful camp ground. Easy to arrange a stay at a beautiful site, with everything you need. Can't wait to do it again!
Popularity: Very quiet
Busiest in November, when about 6% of guest capacity is reserved. Based on 1 years of reservations.
