New River Campground

I stayed here for one night in very early August. I had a site right on the banks of the New River. The staff was very helpful and went out of the way to assist this senior citizen.

Even though COVID restrictions were relaxed everywhere, the campground only opened the bathrooms and showers to campers who did not have a bathroom in their rig. I told them I did not have these capabilities in my rig and they gave me sole access to the handicapped shower. I thanked them and told them that if a handicapped person arrived I would give up the shower.

A disadvantage is that the big rigs are very close together and the highway is directly behind the back row of campsites. After dark the traffic dropped off and for me, the highway noise was not noticeable.

Was just passing through and decided to camp here because it was so pretty. You get your own bath house assigned to you. Very nice lady running the show.

Overall this was a great spot with amazing views and easy access to nearby New River Gorge. Friendly people. Only giving 4 stars because our reservation was lost (but they put us in another spot) and it took a little bit to find the camp manager to check in.

We arrived on a Sunday and completely missed the check in at the turn into the campground. If you pass the CVS too fast, you'll miss it. No problem once we did check in. The owner goes around the campground at 430p offering firewood for $5/bundle. The view from our full hookup campsite is hands down amazing!! We're situated directly on the New River in Gauley Bridge. The train does run across the river at least twice daily...at least, Sunday we counted 6 times. Very well kept campground. They had a terrible flood in August that almost wiped them out completely. The owner is rebuilding her foundation next to the camp store. Cathedral Falls is right down the road and worth it.

Beautiful night along the New River! Waterfront tent site with access to clean, personal bathrooms/showers assigned to each site. Camp store is on premises, but other items can be picked up at the small stores within a half mile. I love bringing my kayak here to paddle around! There is a US highway that runs along the back of the campground….so there is some traffic noise, but I think the location and view far outweigh that bit of noise 😊

Nice campground, RIGHT ON THE RIVER. The spots not directly in the river ain’t but a stones throw away. The spots on the river are darn near in the river lol. It is really cool being that close to the river.

It’s right off the main road, no one should have any trouble getting back there and in their spot. The have a couple spots for big rigs, 5th wheels. $34 for full hook up isn’t bad.

I didn’t but there has to be some good fishin to be had there. Lots of current and they have some pictures posted of some pretty nice catches, though I didn’t pay to much attention to the dates of those pictures.

The office/store doesn’t have much. I can’t comment on the facilities. They are locked with a key pad and only available to campers without their own restroom, some covid policy stuff.

I just spent the night here passing though on my way home. I did make a reservation but there were many spots open. I believe a reservation is required but don’t quote me on that.

The sites are gravel, or at least the patio area is. It was raining off and on and was pretty muddy in spots. My camper isn’t very big so I put my passenger side wheels just on the edge of the gravel patio so my entry steps wouldn’t be in the mud and I was nearly level, side to side was good, only needed a small adjustment front to rear.

It’s down in a valley with mountains on either side. There is a train on the other side of the river. There were some geese and ducks congregating in the water near my camper at night, was pretty cool to see so many in one area.

There is a waterfall across the street and a nicer one just down the road. I have Verizon and had 4 bars cellular signal and was showing LTE but it was incredibly slow if it worked at all. I would visit again for sure.

We stayed here for a couple weeks and hated to leave.  The owner and staff are very available and always willing to help.  Most sites are full hook up and the bathroom facilities are only for the ones who don't have full hook up.  Not a lot of ups and extras, but the price is great including the price for the firewood.  And did I mention they are right on the river!! As well as only minutes away from some great views and hiking.

It was our first time staying here.  The sites were level and spaced out pretty well.  We were at site 12, which is close to the main road.  Surprisingly there was not a lot of road noise.  Firewood is for sale on-site and you get a good bang for your buck.   We look forward to coming back again and can hopefully get a site on the river.

Spent two nights here, with a full hook up on the edge of the New River. From bumper of my TT to the river was about 30ft. Shade trees and a light morning mist on the river made a beautiful sunrise.

Note, the drive from Rt 19 to the campground is 8% grades both uphill and down, with twists, turns, and practical uturns with my 35ft. Fun for me, not for my wife lol.

Definetly will come back. It's about a 35 minute travel from Battle Run NPS area which has a great lake to swim in.

Small but very serene location . Very kid friendly and great place for kayaks

Amazing!!! Waking up with the sound of birds and water it’s just amazing! Beautiful campground ⛺️ Near the falls and has a boat ramp right next to it!

Probably the best view I ever had traveling in the RV. This place has 39 full hookup sites right on New River. It's small and not much to it but still a nice place to stay. There is a small playground, bathroom/laundry house and an off that sells fishing supplies. You can recycle aluminum cans here (wish more campgrounds had recycling). Main downside for us is Verizon service is terrible. Perfect for the weekend getaway but not during work hours. AT&T is flawless though. It was raining the first few days we were here and it didn't get disgustingly muddy. Neighboring towns to the east are pretty run down but further west are thriving. Camp owners are lovely people too. Would totally stay again. Walking distance to a market that want really stocked well, mostly empty shelves (granted we were also here in covid times so that might be a factor) and a Dollar General/CVS.

I wish I could give more stars, but the campground itself is just okay while everything around it is amazing.

Pros: right on the river, convenient to everything (walking distance to Family Dollar and a scenic waterfall), staff super helpful and nice, full hookups

Cons: campsites are right on top of one another (especially on the riverside - there’s a few that are sideways and a little better), it’s gravel and washout a little so when it rains it gets to be a muddy mess, the WiFi is flakey (but if you could connect it was good)

Pro/con: the railroad is right across the river, so pretty nice to watch but at night it can be a little loud if you need silence to sleep.

We stayed here in a trailer for 3 nights. The location is great. It is right on the river and is very pretty. You can fish right from your site. The owner is very nice and will go out of her way to help make your stay a good one. It is walking distance from a grocery store which was very convenient. The bathrooms and showers were OK. The site and overall campground was a bit rundown, and needed some maintenance, but the river view made up for it. I would definitely return.
