Arrived Sept 2, the Thursday before Labor Day. 10 sites, 6 available. Not much solar because you are in a gorge and the sun comes up over a mountain and goes down over a mountain. Close to many trails. Very clean pit toilet. Most campers were in tents or vans. I wouldn't recommend anything larger than 30 feet. Only 3 spots could... more
Arrived Sept 2, the Thursday before Labor Day. 10 sites, 6 available. Not much solar because you are in a gorge and the sun comes up over a mountain and goes down over a mountain. Close to many trails. Very clean pit toilet. Most campers were in tents or vans. I wouldn't recommend anything larger than 30 feet. Only 3 spots could handle it.

Bathrooms and trash cans on site and very clean
I believe there was 8 sites, it was less than half full when we got there but it was a Monday night.
Nice day use area right on the water for fishing.
Fire pit and picnic tables on all sites, pretty easy to level in the site.

Arrived around 7PM on a Friday night and we were lucky enough to snag the last available space. A few spots opened up Saturday morning, the last of which was taken between 8 or 9PM. We drive a 2020 mid-roof Ford Transit and had no issues accessing the campground, although the paved portion of the road leading to the campground is pretty narrow. Overall, our stay was very quiet and the New River is easily accessible with gorgeous views. Bathrooms were very well kept although make sure you bring a water supply if you don't want to filter the river water.

We camped 4 days in July and found it to be a great free site. The first night we drove in and the 11 sites were all taken. Since it was late we set-up in the large parking lot for the night. The next day spots began to open between 9-11am. We grabbed the first site on the left around the circle nearest the bathrooms. This site had a walkway down to the river and the riverside beach was awesome. The campground seems to be a popular place for locals on the weekend but was quiet during the start of the week. There are drop in points up river between Glade Creek and the bridge where you can float back to Army camp. The sites are pull-in/back-in. We were able to get our 38ft Class A in with no problem. The road leading to the campground says "Narrow Road" but we had no issues with the width or terrain with our Class A and tow vehicle. The restrooms were very clean as was the rest of the campground.

My hubby and I stayed two nights at the Army Camp and 2 at Grandview Sandbar across the river. Both have clean pit toilets, river acres, picnic tables, fire rings, and grills. Rangers came through but never stopped. We got their on the weekend and only found one spot left at the Army Camp but we were very pleased with it. Theirs no running water so bring plenty with you. Small beach area but very rocky so bring river shoes. It is extremely dark if you are into night photography its perfect!
