Riverfront camping on the New River. Breathtaking views. Scenic and relatively secluded, yet easily accessible. 10 acres in total, 650 feet of river frontage. Excellent location for fishing, tubing, and kayaking. Located less than 5 miles from Independence, Virginia and 10 miles from Galax Virginia.

It was not what we expected. The access to get to the New River is awkward and mucky. You can not pull up to the further site with your vehicle so it is walk-in only. The toilet is a port-a-potty that is accessed by walking back up the steep driveway access and crossing the road to owner's residence. The potable water and shower is in owner's barn next to the port-a-potty. The shower is not a private stall but in a dark barn with a hand held shower head where there is a rug on the ground you stand on to shower. We chose not to stay and looked for another place to camp.

Camped with our dog!
It was a great site to be at. No one rented the other spot so we had the whole area to ourselves. When we arrived John helped us bring our stuff down which was a great help. We had two tents set up and had plenty of space to fish and have a fire going. We even caught a catfish and a carp! My dog loved being out there and running around, she even jumped in the water just to test it! John had a hot tap shower that felt great to use after a day of sweating. I would improve it by making a platform to stand on as the floor is dirt and does get muddy. Overall a good place to be!

This a a great spot right on the New River! The site is easy access right below the road by the river side. We were a little nervous about hearing cars pass by all night, but it is not a busy road so the site stays quiet and private. John was an excellent host. He communicated with us ahead of time so we knew exactly where to go and what to expect. He met us right as we arrived and gave us a quick tour of the site and made sure we knew he was there if we needed anything during our stay. It was a very pleasant experience overall and we would not hesitate to stay at this site again.

Lazy days on the New
This is a very pleasant stretch of the New River. We had two dogs, two kids and two adults for a few days camping on the river. John is a friendly host who was very helpful to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.

We had a great night at Johns campsite! The view was gorgeous. It’s a private site but they were right over the hill if we needed anything. We will definitely be back!
