Great Find!

This site was in a great location and right on the crystal clear water. The train was loud at times, but we knew that would happen when we booked the site, so no surprises there. Sites are extremely private and spaced out; we couldn't see or hear anyone. Water flows fairly fast in this area, so there were a few people floating and kayaking. Current wasn't too strong for the dogs tho and there was a good, shallow walk-in into the water. Lots of hiking very close by, and we will definitely be staying here again.

Quiet and Secluded

Sites are spacious and right along the river. Most sites have river access directly from the site. The James river is perfect for kayaking/SUP/canoeing and even swimming, nice and calm. Porta potties and a dumpster are in the center of the grounds. Definitely bring bug spray!

Awesome camground

This campground is such a hidden gem. There’s a gate and a lock code that you get in your confirmation email. The sites are spaced far enough from each other that you can see each other. Our site had a little path right to the river. Very very spacious campsites. Awesome trees in site 5 for hammocks. Probably my favorite campsite in Virginia now.

Wonderful Trip

Our site was RIGHT on the river. It was peaceful and private. No water, no electricity available. Not for RVs. There is a railroad track that runs along the James River near the sites, but it never bothered us. Great fishing.

A little additional info from the internet:

BREEDEN BOTTOM CAMPGROUND is located on the James River about 1/4 mile down stream of the Arcadia bridge about 5 mile drive from our canoe livery in Buchanan, VA. It is situated about 6 river miles downstream of our Buchanan based canoe livery location near river mile marker 19. This campground can accommodate both paddle in and drive in campers. Each site is numbered and include a fire ring, picnic table, parking area, and level tent pad. Portable toilets and a dumpster are conveniently located in the center of the campground. Guests will need to bring their own water as no potable water source is provided. $36.00 per site for up to 4 campers.
