Places fill up quick on the weekend for good reason. Right on the river in a beautiful spot. I can’t wait to stay here again. No fee to camp and it is first come first serve. Walk in and drive in sites.

Easy 5 stars to this campground! Several spacious sites located on the bank of the New River. The camping is free and first come first serve. We got there around noon on a Saturday in October and there were at least 4 open spots. There is a size able parking lot for the river access and another parking area further down the road for camping. The bathrooms were nice enough for pit toilets.

Nice out-of-the-way campground with several spots for small to medium RVs and tents. There are no electric or water hookups. Sites are first come first serve and are FREE. Great place to take the family for a relaxing outdoor experience. Access to the New River for swimming and fishing is a short walk. A boat launch for smaller watercraft is available. No showers or flushing toilets, just open toilets. I stopped by the other day to check it out. I will be back.

For a primitive campground, it's top notch! Definitely designed for tents or small rvs. The big busses or truck trailer units are going to struggle getting down the tight 1 lane gravel drive. Several sites are up where you can park your vehicle with you, and a half a dozen walk up sites, 100 yards or less from parking. All sites have a fire pit, and the one we had even had a built in grill! No fire wood for sale from the highway in so buy before or haul it in. Great spot for a base camp to hike, kayak or raft! There is a road and train tracks across the river, but weren't obtrusive to me. The train coming in at 4 am did make my Midwest mind go oh sh!t tornado.. wait.. train.. haha!! Signs up said starting 2023 reservations are to be done on line.
