Army Campground

Army Camp is a primitive campground within New River Gorge National Park offering free, first-come, first-served camping with direct access to the New River for fishing and boating.

The campground features picnic tables, fire rings, and basic restroom facilities, with both walk-in tent sites and drive-in sites for RVs and campers.

Note that swimming is strongly discouraged due to powerful currents and hazards; visitors should bring their own drinking water and supplies as the site is several miles from gas stations and stores.
