Eggleston Springs Campground

Fun little campground!!!! Located in a beautiful area with great view of the river. Dave was the nicest human I’ve probably ever met. If you hate trains don’t stay here but as a big train fanatic I quite enjoyed it.

I’m absolutely in love with Eggleston Campground! It’s a cute and quirky spot with a charm all its own. On certain days, there’s live music, which adds a special touch to the experience. The check-in spot is stocked with ice, wood, small gifts, and snacks, making it super convenient. The staff are incredibly friendly, and the campground itself is wonderfully quiet. Just be aware that trains do come by occasionally, which can be a bit noisy, but it’s temporary and didn’t bother me much. The location, right on the beautiful New River, is unbeatable. Pricing is very fair and competitive, making this place a fantastic value. Highly recommend!

This place is pretty awesome. Very helpful and friendly staff. Firewood is very reasonable for the amount you get. Grass is mowed and campsite are a good size, I got a tent with electric. Bathhouse were clean-ish, nothing a good power washer wouldn't take care of. But the shower always had hot water. I highly recommend this place. The trains didn't bother me at all, it added to the experience.

Clean. Ample size camping sites. Boat ramp to the river. Fishing 🎣 seems well. Fire pit worked great for cooking. Wood 🪵🪓 was readly available there. Little gift shop

We had a nice stay here, right on the river. The man who runs it was very kind and helpful. The site was flat and had electric hookup which was nice. The view of the river and access to it were great! Our daughter loved being able to walk right down to the bank and play while we watched sitting by the fire. The bathrooms were pretty clean and decently stocked. There was a sink for washing dishes which was a nice surprise—though other campers seemed to have clogged it while we were there. They had live music and a shaved ice truck for Father’s Day—a really nice little event to top off a great weekend. A few things to note: There were several ant hills on our site—they didn’t bother us during our stay but it would give once of mind for those to be taken care of. No picnic table at our site and also the fire ring is stone with no grate for cooking. Also plan to get firewood on your way in. He sells it onsite but it was $14 + tax for about 20 pieces of wood. Additionally It seems like no one follows the rules to leash your dog. We had to pick up and carry our small leashed dog on any walk we took because of other people not following the rules. We also felt like we were babysitting other dogs telling them that their dog was swimming down the river. That’s obviously just the luck of who you end up camping beside, but the sites are close together, so you will definitely get to know your neighbors! The train is also very loud and does run several times a night. None of this would keep us from staying here again, but knowing it ahead will help us be more prepared next time! Also—only a 20 minute drive to cascade falls trail—highly recommend hiking it while you are in the area!

We were lied to and ignored. Conditions were very poor at the beginning of May. That can certainly be expected with the flooding in the area, though that was not known to us until arrival. It wiped out their entire campground, leveled their bathhouse, and even moved their office building several feet. Many of their sites were out of commission. This left very poor conditions, and their recovery planned involved the use of a few port-a-shower/toilets. The water barely trickled and was only cold. We could not stay there. The caretaker of the campground appeared understanding and said that he would have my money refunded for the week. That STILL has NOT happened! They don't respond to phone calls, voice mails, or emails. Definitely beware of businesses like this!!!! I am sorry to have to give them 1-Star.

An excellent place hidden away on the New River to Escape to! Fishing, Kayaking, Boating, Tubing, Swimming and Live Music from MANY Great local musicians, many times throughout the summer! E.S.C. to the NEW RIVER!!!
