LIKE us on FACEBOOK at [xxxxxxxx] Standing on the New River Trail looking up where the campsites are located will give you the feeling that you truly are sleeping on the edge at Rivers Edge campground. Unique limestone formations can be found on the property. Large birds and even an eagle or two seem to prefer this area for hunting. Watch from a distance as farmers cut hay throughout the summer. This private cliff top setting has 6 newly created camp sites on 5 Acres. These sites are for camper vehicles only. NO TENTS! Enjoy less crowds and more nature! The long range views or the river and farmlands will take your breath away. At the bottom of the drive you have access to the New River and the New River Trail so bring your bike for more fun. Bike the trail, bird watch, or star gaze; the choices are endless. Don't be surprised to see bear, turkey, eagles, deer, or a coyote. PLEASE give us a rating on YELP also if you enjoyed your stay!

There is a zoo in nearby Ft. Chiswell. Each site has full hook ups. No tents are allowed due to lack of toilet facilities.

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Campers consistently rave about the breathtaking views and peaceful atmosphere at this campsite. The location is perfect for those who love nature, with easy access to the New River Trail for hiking and biking. While many appreciate the quiet and privacy, some guests noted the presence of a large, illuminated cross that can affect nighttime enjoyment and stargazing. Overall, it's a well-maintained spot with welcoming hosts, making it a favorite return destination for many.

    Nice quiet spot with daily wildlife and beautiful views. Signage was a little hard to see when we checked in, but we figured it out. GPS tried to make us turn too soon into a private drive. We enjoyed our stay and the shared sun deck overlooking the river.

    Incredible view! Great New River Trail trail access for biking. It was quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed seeing the many local deer. Winery/distillery a couple of miles away to visit if you want to get out. And did I mention the amazing view?!
