Biking and paddling draw most visitors to Fries New River Trail RV Park, a small private campground in Fries, Virginia, where the New River Trail trailhead sits roughly two blocks away. The trail runs nearly 57 miles along the New River, and campers can ride directly from their sites to the access point. Kayak and bike rentals are available nearby, and fishing is accessible within walking distance of the campground. Fries Trail Hopper RV Sites and Rivers Rest Campsites are also in the area for those who want to compare options before booking.
The campground holds fewer than 20 sites, all gravel and pull-through, with most running parallel to a creek that flows below. Sites include full hookups with cable TV and WiFi that multiple reviewers confirmed works reliably across the property, including rear sites. No campfires are permitted, though propane portable fire pits are allowed. Most sites get shade for a large portion of the day. Water pressure can run low at sites toward the back of the park.
The bathhouse is small. One room serves each gender, with a single sink, toilet, and walk-in shower per side. A washer and dryer are also on-site. The campground does not accept credit cards, so cash is worth having on hand. "Bath house is small and clean; one room for men and one for women," notes Jennifer K., summing up what most reviewers echo. Access roads are winding and narrow in spots, so slower speeds are advisable on the approach. Campers who book early tend to have the most site choices.

And once refreshed, you'll be ready to enjoy the activities of the day. And remember, like an old friend you're always welcome.
