Byrd's Branch Campground

My husband and I came across the campground by hiking the trail that goes through it from the Grassy Creek Winery to Carter Falls. We stopped in, checked it out and made reservations for Halloween weekend. Check-in was super easy. Our first night there we were amazed at how quiet it was. So much so we slept in until 8:30am. The trails are nice to hike. You can hike to Grassy Creek Winery, Skull Camp Brewery or Carter Falls. The bathrooms and showers are clean. The store is well stocked with camping essentials. I think I counted 12 RV sites that are very spacious. We stayed on Site 10 but any site will do. They are all nice. We walked through the tent camping area. That too was spacious and clean. I believe there are 4 tent sites. Saturday was Halloween so the kiddos came around to each camp site trick or treating. Afterward, they projected Ghostbusters on a screen for all the campers to watch. It was a lot of fun. If you don't want to hike, you can always drive the short distance to Elkin and walk the main street. Nice shops and eateries. The owners, Dwaine and Larena run a nice campground. I would highly recommend Byrd Branch Campground. We are already looking into camping there next Spring. Paul & Valerie

Bryd's Branch was a wonderful campground. To me it is exactly what a campground should be. We were in site 2 and our friends were in site 3 and 4. These sites only have water and electric. Both are strong. My husband did not have to use our booster for electricity. Sites 1 thru 7 back into the trees. The day we came was early afternoon and we had shade to set up everything. Behind the sites are trees, firepit, and creek. Very clean and neat in this area too. Well maintained. We were able to put up three hammocks with the ability to converse with each other. Plus sleep. Each site has grass and trees between them. It also seemed that the sites were staggered so you could not see directly into the next camper from your camper. There are hiking trails that can be accessed right from the campground. Elkin is just a few miles from the campground. Plus Stone Mountain is very close also. The bathrooms are so clean and decorated so that you feel like you are at home. Smell good too. My husband and I camp somewhere different every other weekend and these are the cleanest bathrooms I have seen.
The camp store has ice cream, sodas, candy, shirts, and of course some camping supplies. The camp store porch has rocking chairs. They also have corn hole and disc golf. Pickleball is close by too.
Sites 8 thru 12 are pull through with plenty of ability to get sun for those that have solar panels. Sites 5 thru 12 are full hookup too.
The owners are nice and easy to talk to.
This place is one of my top 5. I want to go back soon and stay longer.

We went with friends to do the Hwy21 100-mile Yard Sale event, recommended to us when we booked the weekend. Fun event! We were impressed with the friendliness of the campground owners, the cleanliness and upkeep of the entire place. It is a small place, but you have plenty of space between spots, and the creek behind the main row. Elkin is a cool little town to hang out in as well. Will definitely be back!

Bryd Branch Campground is a lovely peaceful family campground. While on our journey we needed a place to stay. That day we contacted Byrd Branch Campground and were fortunate enough to reserve a pull through site for our 39' motorhome. We enjoyed this place so much we stayed a few more nights. This campground is well maintained, offers activities disk golf, walking trails nearby, trees surround it, a store on site, it is easy to get to because of the signage, and close to pickleball courts. Most of all the owners Larena and Dwaine are wonderful hosts.

This family owned campground is immaculate, with very spacious sites. I really like how deep the sites are that back up to the creek. There is a playground across the street with picnic tables. The area is beautiful and the location of the campground is peaceful. We hiked from the campground to water falls, a winery, and into town. The bathrooms are across the street and a up a hill, but very clean. The country store is handy and there is lots of local information available there. We really enjoyed our stay.

Literally. What the Dr ordered. A tiny slice of heaven. This is my first camper, and our first trip out in it. We were green as it gets. My stress level had gotten so bad I was developing new and annoying health issues. So I bought a camper and cut my summer hours at work. This was our first time out & Byrd’s Branch set the bar! I was nervous about backing and parking. It’s different when it’s not your own property you might back over and tear up, lol. Dwaine came down, only when invited, and just talked me right back in there. The sites are so clean, and level and quiet. The back in sites are right up to the creek, with a fire pit right at them. Everyone was very respectful and friendly. Larena was on top of anything you needed. She was so open and welcoming - felt like you could just stand there and visit all day. The little country store has basics and souvenirs. I took the dog out hiking both days. Trails are easy to follow, safe and just plain lovely. If you are looking for peace and quiet and a place to shed some stress - here it is! We booked again before we left. And I’ll book again next time we are there. My husband doesn’t like to travel & has some reservations about the weekend. He said after this experience he was all in! Thank you Larena and Dwaine - we appreciate you so much!
