Raven Cliff Campground & Picnic Area is located in Mount Rogers National Recreation Area. This campground offers 20 campsites beside Cripple Creek. All are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Each unit has a parking spur, tent pad or trailer space, wooden picnic table, and fire grill. Recreation vehicles up to 32 feet can be accommodated. A central water hydrant and garbage containers are provided. A picnic shelter accommodates 75 and is also available on a first-come, first-served basis (no reservations). Cripple Creek runs through the area for wading and fishing (stocked with trout in the spring). The open fields provide a grassy area for games. A trail follows along Cripple Creek to the Civil War era Raven Cliff Iron Furnace.

This campground is open year round, however the Forest Service does not plow the access road or campground loops when it snows.
