Reservations are available at New River Canoe and Campground, a privately run facility in Independence, Virginia, with nightly rates ranging from $29 to $89. The campground provides electric and water hookups for RVs, a dump station, showers, and WiFi, though at least one camper noted the shower water did not get fully warm. Sites sit close together, and a one-lane entrance road sees steady traffic, so campers who prefer more space between neighbors should factor that in. The New River is the main draw, with Class 2 and 3 rapids accessible via a $20 shuttle for a 10-mile float back to camp. Healing Springs Farm is an alternative roughly six miles northwest for those wanting a different setup.
