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.

Riverside-Glamping on the New River
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
Riverside-Glamping on the New River
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!

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!

What a gem! Highly recommend checking out Gracie and John's place. Peaceful spot, right on the river with everything you could need. Very clean, and cozy camper. Tons of outdoor space between the LARGE deck and tons of grass area for games. The wifi works great, even down by the river! Neighbors are nice and super helpful. Tons of DVDs and some board games, as well as a Foosball table on the deck made even the rainy days enjoyable! Don't pass up a staying at Riverside!

Clean, well maintained, quiet, spot on the New River! John and Gracie were always friendly and helpful. Answering anytime i had a question before and after renting. They allowed us to park our vehicle early. We where then able to kayak for 3 1/2 hours (we put in at Old Town Boat Ramp) right to our site. While kayaking we saw a bear acrossing the river, deer, otters, racoon and caught lots of fish. Everything was just as described when we arrived. Had everything we needed and more. We only used the microwave and flattop grill for cooking. I slept in the main bed. Very comfy! Shower was very hot! Plenty of space for the kids to kick/throw balls, frisbee, play corn hole, tag or volleyball. There`s a canopy for shade while supervising the kids in the yard or river. Water wasn't super deep in front (3ftmaybe) i could see the bottom. Kids were able to take kayaks out a good distances and still be in view. If it rains or you get hot or bored there a huge covered porch with lots of space and games and puzzles to choice from inside. Wifi worked perfectly the whole time. Planning to return soon.
