Dunglen Campground
Dunglen Campground
DunGlen Campground is a primitive, free tent-only group campsite located directly on the New River in New River Gorge National Park, offering access to swimming, fishing, hiking, and boating.
The site features pit toilets but no potable water or electric hookups, and requires a special use permit (304-465-6517).
Located near the historic town of Thurmond, it's accessible via a dirt road from WV Route 25 and provides river views with the caveat that active train tracks run along the opposite riverbank.
