New River Canoe and Campground

Located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains between Sparta, NC and Independence, VA, New River Campground sits on the border of North Carolina and Virginia at an elevation of 2600 feet and spans an entire mile along the scenic New River.

Not enough room
Sites are on top of each other and there is so much traffic in an out on a one lane road. It’s a wonder no one has gotten hurt. The river is nice.
Clean and kept up
Stayed at the 221 walk/paddle in group site. The walk in wasn't a blast, but that was our fault, but the whole campground was kept up nice, bathroom was clean, sites were cleaned n trimmed. I didn't shower but my wife did, and said the water didn't really ever fully get warm, not sure what that's about. All around a good stay, probably will stay here again.
Best camping and floating on new river!
Great place for camping, plenty of tent camp, also plenty sites for campers with 30 & 50 amp service with water, dump station available onsite also. Best canoeing and kayaking on new river, class 2 & 3 rapids on the 10 mile float, worth the $20 shuttle to take you up river to float right back to camp ground. Also have have cabins/apartments , and store available
