Gala River Front Campground

This campsite is very private. I stayed in site 1, which was very secluded and right on the river. Site 2 did have much more room and an elevated view of the river. They had firewood for sale and a clean Porta-potty.

Great campground, Spot 2 is the most private, though we were the only ones here during our stay. The Port-a John was clean and empty so there was no odor. Having river access was nice and have a great view. The gated access to the campground and cheap fire wood for sale was also a big plus. The only draw back is CSX operates only a few hundred feet from the site so the trains can be loud and run 24-7. It did not bother us, but if you are someone disturbed by noise be sure to book a site further from the railroad.

Had a decent stay. Site 1 is the most private in my opinion, as it's surrounded by trees and dead ends into a field at the end of the property. My biggest complaint is that the people who stayed in site 2 should've been made to get the group camping site further up the way because they had 10 people and 7 kids plus an off-leash dog that kept coming into our site and I thought it was supposed to be a maximum of 6 per single campsite. It was very difficult to enjoy the peace and quite when #2 was having a total party into the late hours on Friday. The train came through a few times in the night, but it was otherwise a very beautiful, clean place to enjoy. Hopefully soon they can get some running water. Although I saw several sites with big blue water jugs, ours didn't have any.

Great campground. Good, thorough communication before we arrived. Campsites are fairly close to each other, and I'd avoid numbers 4 and 19 as they are right by the porta potties and dumpster. The porta potties were clean, stocked with TP. The site provides some firewood, which is nice. Sites 5-8 have nice/partial views of the water. Super convenient to canoe/kayak in or out of. Fyi-no water source so bring your own. Overall a good campsite to plan a tubing/kayak/canoe trip around. Not too far from I-64/I-81.

Camping in VA Blue Ridge seems to be a bit lacking, so I'm glad we stumbled on this place for a group camping trip. The folks at Twin River Outfitters were great in helping guide us on the right sites for our group. Since there's only one porta-potty it could be an issue if you had a large group, but since we had pretty much the entire campsite to ourselves it wasn't a big deal. Very secluded and private with a great backdrop!
