Welcome to The Riverside on The New River in the Blue Ridge Mountains. A place where you can enjoy a beautiful comfortable camper where the doors open right onto a gorgeous deck that looks directly onto the New River. The New River is considered one of the oldest rivers in the world. This is a place where you can watch birds (bald eagles have been seen), swim, fish, kayak, canoe and go boating. You can make a campfire footsteps to the river, or kick back on one of our chair loungers and watch the geese take a swim. Feel free to sing songs as you roast your marshmallows as you may hear a neighbor doing the same. It is a recreational lot so there are others around you as these are privately owned lots (If you are looking for seclusion, this is not the place for you). The next morning wake up with your morning coffee as you swing on our beautiful fully covered 25x35’ deck with the beautiful view of The New River. We are a 5 minute drive from the New River Trail State Park, where you can hike, bike or walk along the river! We provide you with linen, bath towels, shampoo, conditioner and body wash, pots/pans, condiments, and coffee. We have a griddle, a BBQ grill and an over the campfire griller. You may want to bring the following: -beach towels -sunscreen -bug spray -creamer -charcoal/lump -paper plates/cups -extra water (we provide one gallon of water) Dollar General is a short drive away and has all the essentials and some...Welcome to Riverside-Glamping on The New River in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

We are walking distance (1 mile) to Fries Historic Dam (pronounced freeze, named after Colonel Francis H. Fries) and to the New River Trail Picnic Area where there is a playground, an ice cream shop and a restaurant. This area is where you can begin your walk along the 57 mile long The New River Trail State Park which is full of history. The camper sleeps 8 people comfortably and has all of the comforts of home with a coffee bar, water, towels, sheets and pillows. We provide soap, shampoo and conditioner. The deck has a porch swing, picnic table, stools and chaise loungers. There is a charcoal BBQ grill right off the deck and an over-the-fire camping grill you can use by the fire pit.

Great site on the river near NRT
We really enjoyed our stay at Riverside. It was a great base for us as we biked the new river trail. We found everything just as described. We were gone during the day so didn’t take advantage of the deck, but we really enjoyed having a fire down by the river in the evening. We would definitely stay here again next time we come to the area!

We had a wonderful, peaceful stay at Riverside. Gracie & John have such a cute place by the New River. We spent our days fishing off the bank, sitting around the campfire, making smores, swinging on the porch and taking naps. The weather was perfect! We slept very comfortably and we felt at home and they left no stone unturned. Very detailed directions about everything there and how to operate it. Even provided us water and coffee! We would love to go back one day soon!

We had a great weekend at Riverside. It was the perfect getaway to relax with some friends from college. The guys enjoyed fishing and kayaking in the river! We roasted hotdogs and made smores around the firepit. The griddle on the deck was awesome for cooking breakfast! The covered deck was perfect for enjoying coffee or a meal together outdoors when it rained. The kids enjoyed the foosball table. RV was spacious and comfortably slept all 8 of us. Gracie and John have provided everything needed to feel at home. We hope to return for another trip soon!

Delightful Riverside Experience
Gracie and John's place is a first class camping experience. The large covered deck is a delightful place to hang out rain or shine. The outdoor griddle is a delight to use. Easy river access and a cabana with lounge chairs makes hanging out by the water easy. While the evening rain showers kept us from using the fire pit, it was a nice option. There are so many little touches that shows that the owners care for their place by the river.

Fabulous get a way! Very short drive to New River Trail State Park- flat, packed dirt was perfect for biking. Apparently it is 50 miles long though we only saw 8 of them- LOL Camper was immaculate and anything we could think of was at our fingertips. Covered deck has a perfect very of the river and great place to nap! We also enjoyed cooking breakfast and dinner on an outdoor propane griddle. Best pancakes! Can’t wait to go back- I bet fall in gorgeous!

Our family loved this adventure!
We stayed in Gracie & John’s camper for 2 nights. Our family enjoyed our stay! The camper is very clean & well appointed. The air conditioner works great! Kids enjoyed the bunkbeds. There is a great deck attached with a nice blackstone, grill, hammock, swing & lots more comfortable seating. The views of the mountains, the river, and the night sky are amazing! We visited the New River Outdoor Center (only a few minutes away) & enjoyed a relaxing tubing trip down the river. The New River Bike Trail is also nearby. We highly recommend Gracie & John’s Riverside Camping experience!
