Description
This quiet and shaded float camp along the South Fork of the New River is a perfect destination to unplug and enjoy the simple pleasures of riverside camping. Nestled into the hillside, this one-of-a-kind campsite is accessible only by the river (contact our friends over at River Girl Fishing to arrange a boat rental and shuttle if needed 336.877.3099).
On-site you will find a 10'x12' tent platform, a fire-pit, picnic table, and primitive toilet. Spend the days and nights fishing, wading, reading, or simply enjoying the gentle flow of the water.
Plan to pack-in what you need, and pack-out any trash that you generate. Please note that you'll need to bring your own water or water treatment method.
This simple campsite is sure to be the retreat you're looking for. And in addition to the enjoyment you'll have, you'll also be supporting a great local non-profit! River Livin' is owned and operated by Appalachian Mountain Leadership (amlnc.org)- a Boone-based nonprofit dedicated to fostering and inspiring servant leadership. Your rental dollars help to provide scholarships and trainings for our transformative programs!
