      Gauley Bridge, West Virginia

      Welcome to New River Campground, nestled right along the scenic New River near Gauley Bridge, WV. This spot is perfect for those who love being close to the water. Imagine waking up to the sound of the river and enjoying your morning coffee with a stunning view right from your campsite.

      One of the standout features here is the personal bathhouses assigned to each site. It's a nice touch that adds a bit of privacy and convenience to your stay. Plus, the staff is known for being super helpful and accommodating, especially for those who might need a little extra assistance.

      If you're bringing a big rig, no worries—this place is big-rig friendly. Just be prepared for the highway noise, which some folks mentioned drops off after dark. The sites are gravel, and while it can get a bit muddy when it rains, the views and the proximity to the river more than make up for it.

      For those who love fishing or kayaking, the river access is unbeatable. You can practically cast your line from your campsite. And if you're into exploring, Cathedral Falls is just down the road and definitely worth a visit.

      Firewood is available on-site for a reasonable price, and the owner makes rounds in the evening to offer it to campers. It's a nice touch that adds to the friendly, community vibe of the place.

      So, if you're looking for a beautiful, quiet spot with great river access and friendly folks, New River Campground is a solid choice. Just keep an eye out for the turn-off near the CVS, or you might miss it!
