What seems to be growing on the ground there now? Mosses, grass, ground pine? If so, then your soil is probably fairly acidic. Would you consider domestic Mountain Laurel, Azalea, Blueberries and Rhododendron? You may be able to intersperse them with some bunching grasses to add interest and make it look like more of a planned planting. Let me know and I'll toss more ideas to you.
Grass and ground pine...yes some of those ones sound good. True...a planned planting ,thank you.

If you have an area where you can let a ground cover run undisturbed there are a number of things that might work. These are things that you can't kill and need no care which is what you want if it is a steep slope. There are other things that might look prettier but they aren't as hardy and will need care. Are deer a consideration? Check that whatever you plant isn't going to be fodder for animals.
Creeping juniper....evergreen. There are various cultivars and it grows fairly fast. Likes sun or partial shade
Winter creeper......sun or shade Kind of a woody vine. I have this one growing in full shade in what is basically shale fill. It's been there for years.
Aegopodium or bishops weed.... I hate to recommend this because it is invasive but if you have a slope that you want to cover it will cover it. The variegated form is quite pretty and it will crowd everything else out. Be forewarned!
Houttuynia or chameleon plant......This is another aggressive one. I grow it in my shade garden. No weeds get through it. It does have to be pulled up once in a while to keep it from crowding out the plants. It is brilliantly colored in the sun. Not so much in the shade. Likes moist soil.
Cotoneaster........they come in creeping and more upright forms. Sun or shade
Vinca....sun or shade. little blue flowers. fast growing. evergreen
Pachysandra........likes some shade. fast grower
Lambs ears....fuzzy gray and spreads quickly. Flowers are not very pretty but the bees love them.
I've grown all of these and know they will grow here. There are other things like tall grasses but you specified creeping plants. I've also got a sedum that spreads like crazy and something like that might be a possibility as well. Depends on what kind of look you want.
Lavender...I'm going to research some of the things you mentioned. Thank you for your resources. Yes we get deer and other critters. Living in the mountains...who knows what else...😄. Looking for green coverage on hillside. Trees (bushes) and flowers along the driveway. I love that white feathery looking bush pampas grass I think..lol

What is a good creeping ground cover or creeping vine? We have a hill/embankment we need to plant something. Any suggestions will be helpful.

My donuts in the air fryer...
1 can Pillsbury biscuits (Grands flaky layers original)
Butter
Sugar/cinnamon
Set air fryer at 330....for 4 minutes. Cut out the middle of each biscuit. Place 4 in at a time...use the middles to make donut holes. After the 4 minutes...brush melted butter, and dip into sugar/cinnamon mixture. Then you can do the same with donut holes, run at 330 for 2 minutes.

Thanks...it was fun redoing. When we bought our house last fall, the bench was left here. I said goldmine😆 the black was chipping and rusting...I sanded. The wood was all rotted, I put all new on. Brought it back to life...my husband was very surprised 😉
Repurpose and reuse!!
