New River Gorge in May
I arrived late Thursday evening in May. It’s first come, first serve so I was worried I wouldn’t get a site as there are only a handful, maybe 10. I was delighted to find a level, spacious site for my teardrop and side tent. There was plenty of room and the site was well drained, shaded and level. If you’re using solar power the shade will limit charging capacity. The sites are a short walk to the river which is gorgeous. Plenty of recreation opportunities for kayakers, rafters and fishing. Site access is via gravel road which is short, steep and switches back. Amenities are as described and vault toilets are clean. The only negative is there is very weak to no cell signal in the park which seems to be a general issue with a couple bars even in the Walmart parking lot and slow wifi in the Starbucks in the nearest city. : )
