New River Gorge Campground - American Alpine Club

I stayed at a vehicle site for a night and it was perfectly fine for my needs. Even though I was across the campground from the bathhouse, there was a convenient trail near my site that made it easy to get to and from even in the middle of the night. The bathhouse was very clean. The road through the campground is one way, which was a little inconvenient, and it could use a little bit of maintenance as it was pretty bumpy in places.

When I’m on a climbing trip at the New I always try to stay here. The sites are great, the showers/bathrooms are clean and give you space. But what I love most here is the campground community and atmosphere.

Stayed here for 1 night and woke up to the most unique and beautiful bird song. Definitely intend to stay here again just to hear them again. Read a lot of bad reviews before coming and was wary. Yes, it's $30 which feels expensive. Yes, it's gender-neutral bathrooms including shower houses. Otherwise, no complaints. Had a very pleasant stay. Clean and level platform tent site.

I've stayed many times over the last 3 climbing seasons, including this past weekend. It's always consistent, way quieter than the Outpost. I typically sleep better here than anywhere else we've tried. Check in is easy via text. I like that the campsites have tent platforms and that there are a lot of trees for privacy. The road is always bumpy with multiple potholes and it would be nice if they could improve that but not a big deal.

A lot of the spots in the campground are slanted, so having a tent too big for the platforms could mean you are sleeping at an angle. Also Dyno wall is closed

My friends and I stayed at a group campsite for the weekend and could not have been more satisfied! The staff was helpful and responded promptly to texts. The amenities were well maintained and made our experience enjoyable and easy. Prime location for bouldering and top rope. Can’t wait to come back!

Very cool place with a unique vibe to other campgrounds. Everyone was extremely friendly and the facilities were top notch. The dish wash skinks were a fantastic resource. I've never seen such a relaxed vibe and welcome feeling from staff and guests. The communal camping area was a little more crowded than what I understood from the map and parking is limited but the overflow lot isn't too far of a walk. For the weekend of memorial day 23' the campground had double booked one site with my party and another. AAC was extremely apologetic of their mistake and went to considerable lengths to accommodate both parties. Definitely would stay again.

Stayed at vehicle site #2 (not fully level, but I also have a very short wheelbase which doesn’t help). Bathrooms were clean and the campground is very nice, also quiet. The location is prime time for exploring New River Gorge. Will absolutely come back! It’s also convenient there’s a market maybe a half mile down the road that has really good breakfast and anything essentials you may need.

This place is great. If you've been to places like Miguel's pizza at the Red then this place will feel very similar minus the pizza. The camping is great they have two platforms per site that are pretty large; capable of fitting a 4 person tent per platform. They have community fire pits with firewood provided which is awesome. They also have bath houses with 1 min per quarter for the showers. The bathrooms themselves are very clean. Check in is easy and simple. They also have a large community area near the bath house with various activities and hang boards and they even have a small climbing wall for events it seems like. Overall great experience at this place in a great location for climbers. Would highly recommend going here.

Very cool camping area with fairly clean showers. Fairly clean, but far better than most campsite showers. Not far from the great climbing around the gorge. There’s a big pavilion and a couple of fire pit areas for communal hanging too, if you’re into that kind of thing.
